Whats up,

Im a bit of a negative Nancy, but i consider it a skill, not a hinderance. I like to visualise the worst case scenario, and prepare for that. I like to plan for every issue, hangup and disaster. Im always thinking, whats the worst case scenario and working like that is going to be the reality, often it never happens, and im left happy by things actually turning out ok, and the leopard doesn't eat my face. And when shit does hit the fan, I'm calm as Hindu cows.

The Romans called this thinking "Premeditatio Malorum", I am no philosopher and i find performative philosophy guys kinda gross so I am gonna cut this here and just update you as to the changes and issues that YOU may face as a customer of mine this year, so you can plan and act accordingly!

House

Im hopefully moving house, ideally this month, if not Feb. There will be service impacts based of this, will be probably an extra 5 days lead time. during the "move" period. Banners on the homepage will display this.

Home

R is pregnant with our second child, so far, Mum is happy and healthy, baby seems happy and healthy and our daughter is buzzing to have a little sister. Baby is due in May, I will be taking 3 months "pat leave" right in the middle of my "busy season". Money comes and goes, but I will never have this time again.

I will be heading in maybe once a week to manufacture orders during this time, but lead times will be extended during this period. There will obviously not be any rush orders.

I think thats it, thats all off the top of my head, happy new year and I hope your 2026 is going to be as good as mine! (Cue immediately started planning for everything going wrong and falling apart)

Thanks

Ben
