Hi Simon, watch out for leatherface:happy:

 

[Simon.]

Absolutely. Thanks Gaz!

 

[Simon.]

I'm getting some very friendly welcomes, thanks a lot.

 

[Simon.]

Hello Kevin, thanks for the welcome!

 

[Simon.]

Thanks for the welcome Brian! I'm currently a mental health nurse in the N.H.S. and want (need) to leave as I feel I've 'served' my time at 41. I've tiled a couple of bathrooms and a kitchen (without the proper tools) for family in the past and seeing my work some years later still looks good but I definitely need the training. I want to take up tiling more for the love of it rather than what I can earn, there's some real artwork out there. I'll be happy to make half of what I'm earning now at least in the first couple of years anyway. I can always register with a nursing agency if I really really need to to see me through the lean periods.

 

[Simon.]

Thanks Trevortine. Who's Leatherface, sounds like an eighteenth century pirate!

 

[Simon.]

Thanks ever so much!

At 41 Simon youv'e just matured as a man.TAKE ADVANTAGE FOR THE NEXT TWELVE MONTHS AS YOU WILL THEN MOVE INTO MID-LIFE CRISIS AND A SECOND CHILDHOOD

 

[Simon.]

Mid life crisis? I've not long bought a 1969 Volvo 164 in grey of all colours. Now if it had been a red sports car...

Hi Simon welcome hope all goes well for you mate

 

[GazTech]

Simon,you and I were only 4 when the Volvo was built,my guess it's in better condition than the pair of us,and I bet that I drink and smoke far more than it does!!

 

[Simon.]

Fair bodywork and sagging leather seat. That's enough about me, yes the car's very nice.

 

[Simon.]

Thanks a lot Steve

 

[Simon.]

Thanks very much Scottish Mark

Hi Simon. From a career in mental health to tiling.. Just wait to you start dealing with "the public".

You might want to go back.

Personally I gave up a career as a Senior Buyer for a global pharmaceutical company (Merck) to persue working for myself.

I dont get the salary, the holidays and the 9-5 but I am my own person. Hope you find the same enjoyment.

Alreet simon??

 

[Simon.]

Thanks Richard, it would have to be very bad to want to go back after leaving! (I've given myself eight months to go).

Nothing wrong with that, it's exactly what Wivers uses for the job............................and he's had it sign written :whatchutalkingabout
