Originally posted by Old Hack View PostIt's how I am thinking now. Madness really, as you could match the earnings easily, but, well, it just seems to easy to pop out for 40 hours a week and coin it that little bit more. My best man has always said I'll contract until they find me collapsed at my desk. Depressing really, I thought I'd be out of it all by 55. Not to be me thinks...

Originally posted by MarillionFan View PostSo what actually happens is, you set up a plan B yourself, work in it for a while, come to the conclusion that you should employ someone to do what you're doing so you can go and coin it in elsewhere, hire someone, go off and contract, the person you hire never does it as well as you do, you then have to keep coming back in to give instructions, make changes etc, which effects your contract & your time, you get knackered, drop the contract, replace the staff, bring the business back on track, come to the conclustion that you should employ someone to do what your doing so you can go and coin it in elsewhere .............

I was rather hoping my wife would come back to run it, but she appears to rather like being at home and not contracting. I am of course deeply envious.Comment

Originally posted by MarillionFan View PostHaving closed down the shops and moving, the missus decided she didn't want to work in the office anymore having had our first child and wished that she had worked in one of the shops we had. So a year after closing them I opened a new one on a 3 year lease so she could run it. 3 months later someone had knocked her up and I landed up working the bloody weekends myself until I hired an experienced manager who was a damn site more expensive. The missus never went back to work.

I'd not take a Plan B on with the two houses let out, they'd have to go and we'd have to exclude the family home form the business. I am not a gambler by nature and it worried me then being almost held in balance by the economy and nothing else.Comment
