Default Biting the bullet

Last Friday I handed in my notice at the day job (I'm a pretty well-paid transport consultant) in order to concentrate on running LensesForHire.co.uk full time.

Pretty scary. Good job I wore the brown trousers.

Nice...and good luck with that.

Just a side note...the first time I open the site, it's real slow, until it's cached. Might want to look into that, but otherwise, it's forward progress!

Go get em!

Next time I travel to that side of the Pond, maybe I'll leave the big, heavy guns at home and hire locally from you. Don't hold your breath, though... it's been about 10 years since the last time... and counting.

Congrats Stuart. I was just told by Chris how Lensforhire was run by yourself. Planning to use your services soon.

Wish you all the best.
