So it’s terrible timing really. December 2011 – my last month of employment. A bright new future beckons in 2012…and I am going on holiday. Until January 11th. That’s right – I will officially be unemployed as of 31st December, and my first 11 days of self-employment and entrepreneurship will be spent on holiday. What can I say – that’s just how I roll.
Although I will not officially be unemployed until the end of this year, I have in fact just finished my last ever day of employment. It is 17:07 as I type this, andΒ I have clocked off for the last time. To coin my own phrase, I have finally left work behind.Β It is time to pack up my things and leave this workspace for good.
Now just because I am going on holiday, itΒ doesn’t mean that I will disappear. Although my posting schedule may not be as regular whilst I am away, I do have a few exciting things lined up for the next three weeks.
What I am really looking forward to sharing with you are my detailed plans for the first quarter of 2012. That will be published at the very beginning of January. I’ve also got a great guest post lined up for next week from Bon Crowder.
Now I know you’ll all be shutting down for Christmas and the New Year – after all, we’ve earnt it, right? But I’d still like you head over here when you can to see what I have for you. And if you haven’t done so already, be sure to follow me on Twitter and join me on Facebook!
If I don’t speak to you beforehand, have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, and I will see you on the other side!

Hey Peggy,
You’re not wrong – went on Splash Mountain twice today, and I have to remind myself to just enjoy the holiday and not think about business too much!
Thanks for your well-wishing π
Tom
