    Stuck in Germany again.
    Invoice is late. Cashflow is dire. 6 weeks since I last had money in, and these flights and hotels aren't cheap. Consultancy being very evasive.
    Left my coat on the flight last night.
    Suffering from a sinus infection (on antibiotics now) but it's still pretty sore.
    Dr has said I have raised blood pressure (no tulip sherlock). Now eating sawdust for meals. No booze. Definately no fags.
    Please, please, please dont post this in general. If you do then they will rip you a new one

      Which is precisely why I posted this here. Then again I expect some "bleed across" from the usual suspects.

      Rip me a new one? OK so the jacket thing is my fault, and the raised blood pressure, but did I really bring the sinus infection and late invoice payment on myself?

        I went into the kitchen and noticed that one of the Buddleja bushes is lying flat on the lawn. Look like the wind has blown it down.

        Looks like it can wait for a dryer period before I chop it up and take it to the tip.

        I could salvage some cutting from it before it dies
        Mrs 5* didnt want to wait for the weather to dry up. So I had to go out in the rain and wind with a pair of loppers and cut it into manageable sections and put them in a less offending place.

        Looks like a trip to the tip on Friday is beckoning.

          Phone the airline and see if they have your jacket. Chase the client for the invoice.

          Keep off the coffee,booze and cigs and hopefully the blood pressure will come down.

            Not planning to have a dig but you really need to have savings if you are working abroad. I know its not the done thing but surely you can hit the corporation tax savings in the short term...

                    Ideally you are right. However life often isn't ideal. Not comfortable using money set aside for tax. Been burned this way before.

                    Edit : Did have some savings. Spent them on hotels and flights
