Well I'm just about back on top of the emails now, there were only 400 to deal with...!  Tomorrow I can get on with chasing up some of the orders as well, we're starting to see some stock shortages creeping in but nothing too drastic.

In non-work news, I managed to get through the new Sky 'Gangs of London' series while I was off, not massively impressed sadly.  It didn't seem to know what it was trying to be, a Game of Thrones style web of plotlines, an all out stylised action affair, or a gritty London drama.  Nice set pieces but completely unrealistic in many places.

Much better morning, had good news regarding previous pay that was owed me, phew.

Now, what new career to dream of after this is all over?

Wargames Holiday centre manager - Not sure that will pay much tough as there have been a few and most don't seem to last that long.

Surely the experience gained being a teacher opens up options in crowd control, child psychology, creative writing and cat herding :)

thanks for the welcome......who knew there was such a good forum just for Pendraken loveliness in existence! I will of course post pictures up in due course. I have completed around 300 figures in the past month although I am yet to base them as I like to mix and match as much as possible different figure poses.
