Cheers guys - he might be that hard up that he takes the cash for the add! Thanks for the link - we will see how far we need to go.

A few months ago I could see I was going to run into a cash flow problem - it happens because we often have to order so far ahead - I am placing an order now for jan - jun - 2013 - but the first thing you do to talk to you creditors and come up with a plan. For me, spreading 2 months debt over 4 months paid weekly. For the last 8 month I have been aggressively trying to cut down on money owed to suppliers and have now managed to halve them - I am hoping to eventually be able to pay all suppliers with cash within days - still probably a year away though!
