    Hi everyone, again thank you so much for your words of encouragement.

    I had a two part strategy for the meeting. The 2nd phase would be If they refused to let me go I would go with the attacking plan and had the ammo to back me up: breach of contract, break down in trust, dishonesty etc.

    I am happy to say it didn't come to that. I went in , told them I was recording the meeting for the safety of everyone so that nothing could be added too or taken away. They were happy with that. I then went on to explain that I needed job security and that currently I was not getting that, that I couldn't live on half a salary and that though I knew they were going through financial difficulty they never said they wouldn't pay me, just that it would be a week late - maxium.

    They released me from my contract immediately as they didn't have a leg to stand on (they had breached the contract from the very first month and had continued to do so) Plus becuase they hadn't paid their phone bill I couldn't continue to make calls. I made sure that I showed them all the proposals I had sent, gave them all them all the emails and potential clients to be contacted. I also backed up everything I had done and sent onto my personal usb (just in case)

    I have a few days off before I start my new job. I am really excited about it and already hve some great ideas to start selling. For the first time in a long time I go forward with hope - something I haven't had for about 18 months.

    I'm feeling strong. That is always good.

    Again - thank you to everyone that has listened, that has given me support and encourgement - it has really helped me through those dark dark days and I am so grateful. I hope that one day I can get to see some of you face to face and we can share a drink/meal/stories and laughter.

    Love you all
