Historic Racing Today.

I have a question.
How does one stay on top of, 'Historic Racing Today' and still get some work done?
Or am I the only one with this problem?

Some get up earlier, some go to bed later, some have long lunch hours, some are just lucky as can have their browser open all day, some don't work anyway..........

And before you ask, I've just come in to order some parts!

I struggle and I'm a kept man!

I say kept, she buggers off to work and leaves me on my own with no grown ups all day, even Arthurs at school now, I've come very close to some major accidents.

Same here. I try and have a 5 minute break every hour but it's sometimes amazing how long 5 minutes can last!

I get most of my customers through internet forums, so as a break from all the Alfa forums, I have to check to see if there are any new posts in the CSCC lounge......and I get easily distracted.....particularly of an evening when I'm on the pooter in one corner of the lounge, milady is on her laptop in the opposite corner, and we're both half-watching the TV in the corner between us....we can't use the sofa as the cat claims that!

Do you just break Alfas or do you do other makes?

"Always on" broadband is vital to an internet trading business, but the downside is that tenths is "always on" too!

Lancsbreaker, your domestic bliss sounds just like ours...right down to the cats knicking the best seats......

Logged on now to collect sales (none ) and check bank account (none ) before going out to work for the day Would much rather play with the Porker.

@ Tim - I specialise in Alfas, although I have a fair amount of non-Alfa stuff left - particularly new pattern-part mirrors and lights - from the days when I used to run a general breakers yard and we'd keep a stock of the fast-moving stuff....which is now rapidly going out of date, of course!

@ Max - my Sales and Bank Account look like yours - got to spend the afternoon changing top wishbone on a 156 V6 so I can get it MOT'd as I do have a customer for it - at least its a little warmer today than the last two frozen days!
