I'm lucky now in the respect that I have a passive income of around 35k before contracting only really need an extra 15K a year to breakeven. So the fact I've now moved my retail to online means that's going to be around 30k profit for next year and I've still got contracting income is a bonusWhat happens in General, stays in General.You know what they say about assumptions!Comment

55 days, which is 13 days less than my age. Enough to keep the old cv ticking over .
First contract in 20 years where I could catch a local bus to work.
Made a change from always working away from home Mondays to Fridays.

Good to see that the "Oldest Profession" is still serving you well.Originally posted by Old Greg View PostThat's enough for me. Merry Christmas to you all.
Have a good Festive Season and I hope your EOD goes into remission before March 29th. The forum needs your steady trickle of codswallop to supplement the nonsensical gibberish of the whortys and darmys. Without that input we are simply a juggernaut devoid of its' furry dice!
