    Stop drinking beer - it will make you fat(ter)

Super motivated now to get it to succeed whilst I don't have any money coming in! I've managed to save enough to keep me going for about 9 months, but I'm very optimistic about the business!
    All the best! That is indeed, true freedom. Hopefully it kicks off.

    Good luck with the startup! I keep having mini-breaks between contracts and it keeps me sane.

    Yes unfortunately most contracts in the last few years meant working us like a dog and a half... they are doing projects now with less than the old days staff... I took 2.5 months break already. The idea of going back makes me sick, but got to do what I got to do !
