    Working by yourself

    How many of you work on your own as opposed to with a helper/apprentice or partner or whatever, do you enjoy being on your lonesome or do you find it a pain in the arse. Me personally I have zero motivation or interest if I'm on a job by myself, things inevitably go wrong and you always need...

    DIY Forum for DIY Electricians? - Doing It Yourself? Electrical Advice This Way

    Should I create a DIY forum to direct people away from this forum who are doing DIY jobs? I could then make our three main forums (tilers, plumbers and electricians) all for professionals and trainees only. I think that's how most networks are doing it. So perhaps we do the same? Your thoughts?

    Paying yourself through a Ltd as a subby

    When starting out subbying, a few people suggested to me that I should start out as ltd. As I would already be paying agencies/umbrellas £20 a week to receive my wages (£1040~ a year) it would work out cheaper to go Ltd and pay an accountant. Subsequently I had a meeting with an accountant and...

    Treat yourself

    It's sad but I'm quite excited that I've just treated myself to a Bosch multicutter. It's on special today at screwfix with £20 off. Still £80 but hope it's worth it. Anyone got one already and is it any good.
