“I know it goes against the grain to say so, but making a successful small business is hard work.”

Amen to this. My 3 yr old daughter was napping under my desk for the first year. We worked around the clock for the first 5 years. After that, more normal (ish) hours (but also weekends), although we do still take customer calls 24 hours a day on divert. My husband was back to work less than 48 hrs after I gave birth to my DS and we rarely ever get holiday time.

Nothing put mothers and babies at more risk than Blair.

Babies died and mothers did. I've written before about wards closing and women in labour turned away with no where to go.

I know you said tory Baby killer in jest but my experience and fear gave me 5 years of flash backs and I had to request an elc second time because I couldn't face the risk of being turned away at the most vulnerable time of my life and my babies life.

EpicShitDippedBatBiscuit · 10/12/2019 22:45

Although now it’s going down the shitter maybe we will have more precious time. No real income, but time and potentially state benefits. #Winning.

😂🙄

Christ, so sorry I gave you a horrible flashback Sad💐 xxx

We need small business owners we need to them, we need more of them, we need to support them as much as possible.

It's incredibly brave opening up and having ones own business.
Corybn has never understood this or had to strike out on his own being of course molly coddled failure...

(rant mood tonight)

Comradesally · 10/12/2019 22:49

Indeed. I love my job but maybe we should all give up work as the safest way to navigate this nightmare on small income.

Epic, after all time is the most precious thing any of us have... We can't buy it Smile

XingMing · 10/12/2019 22:49

Toddling off to sleep, now. Goodwill to all who have posted in good faith.

HateIsNotGood · 10/12/2019 23:08

Yolo can't speak for anyone else but my understanding is that BJ has agreed a Deal (1st stage) which looks a good start to me. It's the Deal we have, quite probably it doesn't suit everybody, but it's a start; which after 3+ years is the best we have 'accomplished' so far.

Obvs, loads of other negs, deals, sub deals, subterfuge and too much social media will continue on, but for now, it will do. If you wanted and could have changed things - you would have done it by now; maybe you like insecurity and uncertaintity - different strokes for different folks.

That's just me. Completely decided. Do your own thing too.

“Indeed. I love my job but maybe we should all give up work as the safest way to navigate this nightmare on small income.”

Jump before being pushed you mean? Not a bad strategy... we should all just do this and reap the benefits (literally)

Lay back and think of corbz comrades, he’s paying! Woop! Aint no party like a socialist party!

Just popping in again to sweep up the discarded nut shells from the far end of the bar.

Bless you, Squid, once you got stuck into your ideological debate about a Labour government being a wonderful Christmas present for Our NHS, you forgot all your cares and woes for a little while. I could almost see the colour return to your cheeks and the spring in your step, chuck.

Always happy to support our NHS heroes in their darkest hour. We like to do our bit for the gaiety of the nation, don't we, fellow Armers?

And quite apropos of nothing, does anyone else expect an influx of passing trade tomorrow in a last ditch attempt to persuade us to embrace Comrade Corbyn? I could be wrong, of course.

Resistance? Count me in. I not only have skills in intelligence gathering and analysis Wink but if any wet work needs doing, I still have contacts in the criminal underworld.

And if GCHQ is reading this, I'm only joking. Grin

Yes, laughingly!!! what a daft place to come to attempt to persuade people. 🤦🏻‍♀️ I think it’s pretty clear where we are at, it isn’t going to change. Why on earth waste precious canvassing time in here? 🤷🏻‍♀️😂😂😂 Truth be told, I’m ok with it. If they are wasting time shouting at us in here, they are not elsewhere drilling other susceptible hearts and minds towards Commie Corbz and his merry band of twatnuggets.

EpicShitDippedBatBiscuit · 10/12/2019 23:25

Personally, I don’t feel the need to personally ‘persuade’ anyone to my opinion, 🤷🏻‍♀️ But, different strokes and all that!

✊🌹😐

EpicShitDippedBatBiscuit · 10/12/2019 23:26

No idea why I said personally twice... personally... 😂

Comradesally · 10/12/2019 23:31

Ain't no party like a socialist party 😂😂

And the only way to survive as anyone with marginal income would be to paint oneself in their colours... Become that group they want to support.

Richer families with plenty of savings etc have the luxery of moving and protecting assets, and sitting it out.

We are now just above breadline for the first time in over a decade we can breathe... Under corbyn... I see us loosing jobs and plummeting into grimness again.. Just as we are crawling out of the abyis (sp)

Controlled and nailed down under a suffocating state.

SingingLily · 10/12/2019 23:32

and his merry band of twatnuggets. 😂🤣😂🤣

They're not even as accomplished as that, Epic! I must admit, I did offer genuine sympathy at first but soon realised that was the desired response.

I've met too many professional chancers in my life not to spot them at all.

The big poll tonight is actually a slight improvement on the last big one. There are still too many variables but I've just been reading Janet Daley (she was one of the very few political commentators to call the 2015 and 2017 elections and the referendum right). She says "it is impossible to overestimate the degree of contempt and loathing the working class have for Corbyn" and thinks this is a Maggie 2.0 moment in terms of working class breakthrough, especially in the North and Midlands.

We'll soon know.

Hope you had a better day today than yesterday.

'' wet work '' Confused what's wet work!!

Not.... '' painting houses ''?? GrinGrin

Oh well there's always an upside to be find, if corbyn does win or get coalition then I will be spurred on to get into highest physical fitness state.. To get through.. '' it ''

SingingLily · 10/12/2019 23:36

If I told you, Sally, I'd have to kill you.Wink

Still joking, GCHQ Grin

EpicShitDippedBatBiscuit · 10/12/2019 23:37

Eeek. What fun ComradeSally, what fun.

And we were told, but! Brexit? The economy! Business will leave!, companies will fold! etc..
By many of the same people, not all... (that’s for you bellini 😉) who are now happy to throw it under the bus to the current labour cabinet and their ludicrous manifesto of dreamz.

Is anyone else a tad confused? Confused
What gives?

EpicShitDippedBatBiscuit · 10/12/2019 23:40

“Hope you had a better day today than yesterday.”

Much the same tbh, but things can still change, where there is time there is hope, much like this election I guess? 😬😂

SingingLily · 10/12/2019 23:41

Two words, Epic.

Extinction. Burst.

Remember what Jon the Plonker said in his bantz with his bezzie? It's "dire...abysmal...Brexit and Corbyn".

Each of the parties have observed the postal votes being counted. I really think the results are not pretty.

Epic.. I'm hoping it's all a ruse.... And infact its a mega tory slide!

It's tactical not to let tory voters rest on laurels. That's what I'm hoping. 🤞🤞.

Me too!

If you are reading Tory Lurkers, your country needs you. 😉 Get out and vote on thursday, come hell or high water, safe seat or not, we cannot risk comrade cuntychops.

🗳 ✍️ ✅ 🧢

Anyone else just stay home please. (Unless you are tactically ousting labour, then that’s fine) Lol 😂

HateIsNotGood · 10/12/2019 23:59

Sorry about the nuts - I'm a messy bugger. Am too intrigued by 'wetwork' - can only think of subterranean mines. But then I'm aghast at anything subterranean, as long as I'm in a boat, I'm staying there.

We haven't told GCHQ, we sold it to Trump, who sold bits of it to Russia, who then sold some of it back to Trump, and then GCHQ bought itself back. I may have made that up.
