no no....that's not what i'll be doing self employed....although reading back i can see how it looks like that. i'm going self employed as a plasterer...with a little carpentry on the side (stud partitions, hanging doors, skirting, kitchen fitting, flooring etc etc). not that i'll be any less bugger...

Thanks everyone....I wholeheartedly agree with whats been said. Am now the owner of several books on the subjects of growing your own fruits and vegetables. I have to say I'm looking forward to getting my hands dirty. Up until recently the most important stuff I had to think about was going self emp...

Hi all.... while recently browsing DODGY TAX AVOIDERS I came across the book: The Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight by Thom Hartmann. This book summed up everything I've always felt or suspected that was wrong with the way we live. Since reading that I've done some poking around on the web which inevit...
