Come and have a glass of champagne with me, I think I have secured my first client and it's a real good'un

Hurrah!

Doing my first piece of work for them pro bono as a goodwill gesture, I think this should lead to a lot more work (as long as I don't mess up the pro bono stuff) and will give me an excellent reference, from probably the national leader in this area of work, that I can take to other potential clients.

Hurrah!

Clink, good on you, it's a lovely feeling isn't it

It is a lovely feeling, makes me think "perhaps I really can succeed at this".

Clink!

Congratulations! I'll join you in celebrating - we just beat PWC in a contract bid. Coming after beating Deloittes last month I am feeling rather pleased with myself.

It's a good feeling - hope it leads to lots of well paid work!

That's excellent Helena! It's so refreshing when clients realise they can often get a better service at a better price if they don't engage the Big 4.
