Ok silly question I did miss it. Well put Babs, I do like the bit where the Birds get to "offer" their opinions.. It is true though re: doing work for free, you do learn as you go along. Someone came across my blog and asked if I could travel to Suffolk and give a talk and stated they had no budget! The old me would have gone anyway but I said thanks for asking me but I can't afford the time no the travel costs! Did I miss this? Ok silly question I did miss it.

After one business going under I wanted to write on "the pitstops and pitfalls of a small business"! And even this past year has seen more errors of judgement than I want to be making - but times change - these are tough times for everyone. I firmly believe that we do have to find the positive lesson in each problem/cock-up though and allocate sufficient time to put in place the structures needed to avoid such in the future. Perhaps a fresh conversation blog later in the month for some of these - I'm all for sharing mistakes so that it may just help another avoid the same. Thanks, Sarah
