Stepping outside of one's comfort level is always a big ask, and especially when you feel you're starting at the beginning again. I bet those new clients love you already - good things sometimes take time - just like that house of yours. Looking forward to MOTHS garden walls amongst the 'drifts', or is that too much to ask for! xxAmanda (Small Acorns)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04090007601440404545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-491954087258246123.post-43152557427581378162011-10-31T08:37:44.925+10:302011-10-31T08:37:44.925+10:30Hi Millie

It's the big stinky puddles that we're working on!<br /><br />I'm so sorry to hear about your job. I had a feeling it may have been heading in the wrong direction when you wrote something about a meeting a while ago. And you were so happy in your last position too. I admire your determination so much, you have a lot of strength. Let us know how it goes. <br /><br />Rachael xxA Room For Everyonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11441978230352333422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-491954087258246123.post-17364676207128991502011-10-30T19:05:08.305+10:302011-10-30T19:05:08.305+10:30I just popped by to say I am so glad my little tut...I just popped by to say I am so glad my little tutorial at least got your enthusiasm, and found this post. I really admire you! Sincerely I do.

It's so good to hear that you feel a lot better about it now and, if we didn't take any chances life would be a little boring.<br />In the current climate, it's good to have a job at all, never mind one's age.<br />Keep going Mill's.....I'm sure that we will be reading a post soon where you're loving it !! Lots of love.

I'm around the same age and have just gone back full time at work and it's not easy. But I look at it as a means to an end. It's not forever and it's for a reason...similar to yours, to be able to pay for the rest of the house reno.<br />Always keep in mind that you can always walk away.
