Its Thanksgiving!

No that's not my sad English turkey dinner. Its dinner from a couple of weeks ago, at the beginning of the real credit crunch. Since then I've re budgeted 12 times and scaled potential salaries up and then scaled back the increases. Taken a good hard look at all expenses. Tried to figure out which of our markets will survive and prosper. Its been exhausting.

All that work and really its back in the same place, radio and t.v. are all shouting about how we are going to hell in a hand basket and Woolworth's here in the UK just declared bankruptcy. Do we even have Woolworth's still in the US? I can't remember. Surely they have lost out to Target - wonder why they don't have Target here? Such a great store. I digress, as usual.

Point is after all that furious Excel-ing we are back in the same positions the majority of our clients are carrying on but some are slowing down. Seems to be the way all the way around the world. So, I'm having Turkey this weekend at a friend's flat and I will be thankful for family and friends and everything else that sometimes one forgets to be thankful for.

By the way, that dinner pictured above was lovely. Cheese here is really good and sparkling water with fruit juice is always a tonic.
