Yesterday marked the end of one chapter of my life, and the proper start of another. I handed my notice in at work, and it's pretty scary cos I don't now have a regular wage!! However, I had been wrestling with this decision for a while, and as some I know I have not been at work since I was signed off sick at the end of January. Happily I was fit to return to work in May, but my employers dithered about getting me back, so I had to be further signed off, even though I was not sick!! How crazy is that!! I wrote and asked if I could change my working hours to work term time days in June, and have only just received a letter asking me to contact them about said changes. Unbelievable! So yesterday I decided enough was enough. The lack of contact and communication during my absence has been a remarkable zero (even from the team I worked with) and in essence I felt I no longer belonged there. Just driving past the place fills me with no emotion what so ever. It's quite sad really as I did enjoy my job. As you can probably guess it was not some small private company either!
On a happier note this means that I am now self employed and the ownerofmy own business! I reckon this is more scary than the above! I am going to be expanding the site later on today to include my own homegrown beads, something I am very proud of. Here's a little sneek peak!

All the very best with being your own boss hun! At least there will be no lack of communication . I know its scarey but i am sure with your talent you'll be fine :)
Stunning beads BTW
