I'VE BEEN TO SIGN ON TODAY, THAT WAS AN EXPERIENCE, THEY SHOWED ME A JOB THEY WANTED ME TO APPLY FOR AND I TOLD THEM I WOULDN'T GET OUT OF BED FOR THAT MONEY SO IT LOOKS LIKE I WON'T BE GETTING ANY JOBSEEKERS ALLOWANCE LOL I'VE TAKEN F*CK ALL THIS WEEK, ABOUT 100 QUID LAST WEEK AND LESS THAN THAT WEEK BEFORE SO IT'S NOT REALLY A SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS ANYMORE. ANYWAY WHATEVER HAPPENS I'LL KEEP PUTTING THE LISTS OUT BUT IT WILL ALMOST CERTAINLY MEAN THAT I WON'T BE ABLE TO TAKE CREDIT CARD PAYMENTS AS I'LL HAVE TO GIVE THE MACHINE BACK.

CHEERS PETE *** one more thing - I'm probably going to sell my british collection soon, I've valued them at around 18,500 and that is a conservative estimate, if you went by the price guide they would be way over 20,000 pounds.

soulfulmick Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 All the best for the future Pete. I too always found you to be fair and honest in all are dealings. In some ways I know what you are going thro cos I run a model shop and my takings have dropped dramatically in the last few weeks.(so I can't afford your british collection) I will miss your lists. Keep your chin up and I hope it all works out for you in the end Regards Mick W
Pete S Posted August 14, 2009 Author Posted August 14, 2009 Thanks Mick - but I'm not going to pack in doing the lists, something might just be in the pipeline, fingers crossed.
soulfulmick Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 Thanks Mick - but I'm not going to pack in doing the lists, something might just be in the pipeline, fingers crossed. Legs crossed as well for you or is that cos i want to pee
DJ Jimmy Mack Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 At the moment its not easy for all of us, but I hope that you get a bit of luck Pete, and things turn around for you! I'm another very satisfied old customer of yours, who wishes you only the best! Regards Jim
Pete S Posted August 15, 2009 Author Posted August 15, 2009 I've knocked a few quid off some of the records on the list this morning...
