Yes has been tooooooo long. Almost a year in fact.
The truth is i haven't touched the buggy since i last updated and its still sat in storage as a bare chassis and boxes of parts. This was never going to be a quick project (until its built) and its taken a side step at the moment.
At the beginning of October i handed my notice in at work and said goodbye to the place i had worked at for the last 7 years. Things had changed and i wasn't happy but more importantly it was getting in the way of me getting on with things. Thought long and hard about leaving and just decided that life is just too short. Since then i have pretty much been out of work apart from the odd day here and there. As some of you know i have been building my own house and i just didn't have the time to finish it. Now im pretty much dedicated to finishing it off to a point where we can move in. I have been working Freelance a little, mainly a day here and there just to keep a little money coming in but we are not struggling for cash. Me and Sarah had £4500 in our savings when i left work and we still have over £4000 sat there. Its amazing how little money you actually need to survive. However because of this some things have suffered, mainly the buggy. Not only do i not have the time to work on it, i currently don't have any spare cash to spend, right when it requires a shot blast and some welding work. The buggy will not be sold though as it can sit there until i find the time and money to crack back on with it.
I may be out of work but im sooooo focused on building our house that im actually busier than when i was working. Amazing feeling getting up in the morning and going to work on something that i just love.
