Foster Caring whilst being a contractor for a job - is anyone doing this?
I've asked my accountant, who I've been with for over 8 years or something and they say as its "not contracting accounting" they want 75+VAT per hour to give me advice, despite offering the usual "bespoke service" "individual advice tailored to your individual situation etc" .... They started...- Scoobos

Contractor burnout and taking time off
WHS or: Yes, after 5 years I felt like this, but I'd lived in 6 different places/countries. I ALWAYS take at least 3 months between contracts now - what got to me , is taking holiday during a gig , and thinking this is costing me x per day, in the money lost from not working. You have to do it... -
Mental health day. What does it mean for you?!
What's "useful" in there vetran? What would be useful is pressure from the voting public to invest money and facilities into it, rather than cutting funding to the bone and sharing a blog post every now and then. -
Mental health day. What does it mean for you?!
As someone recently diagnosed as suffering from C-PTSD for 35 years or so - the subject actually triggers me a tiny bit. This whole notion that "if people talk" or that people need to come forward to help , annoys me. The reality for me, was realising I was high performing because I was driven... -
What kind of Tory are you?
I don't know why, but comments like this always make me see an ignorance for the fact that LUCK has a lot to do with life. Where you are born, who to and with what health conditions. hard work and attitude can go a long way - but not necessarily enough in a lot of situations. I see it as a deep... -
Unexpected advice from the Daily Mail
With that mantra , then MOST people will die in shame. Do you know how much end of life care costs the healthcare system? I'm no expert, but just the power of compound interest and sensible investment should make sure that EVERYONE can take out more than they put in, over a working lifetime... -
Health and social care tax
Really? The damage is done by the bloody Public Health Act 2012 , decentralising, losing economies of scale and generally just trying to get the private sector into every nook and cranny it can. Seriously , with "approved suppliers" toilet rolls CAN cost 60p each. -
WIN 11 is a load of old krap
Give me directory services, federation, group policy , centralised security controls etc and I'd consider it. That's what we need for office workers mainly. Don't get me wrong, I love linux, but it has its place and it's not the standard office desktop environment with centralised... -

Good news for the UK
Is it good news for the UK? Building machines that, if ever used in anger - will be destroyed and sunk - to later contaminate our ocean with radiation is not a great thing. We've been "lucky" so far , in the ones that have already sank, sank very very deeply so thankfully don't affect our food... -
Bloomin lefties
How has "lefty" become a slur? In the 40 and 50's (the "Glory years!" eh?) , it was Righty that was the slur. Nationalism, Racism, Greed and Social injustice were the wrongs in the world. Now its the rights.. pardon the pun. -
Anyone carry an epipen?
I'm a beekeeper and don't carry an epipen myself , but a number of us in my association do. But what you've described doesn't sound like an allergy , the skin hives may be a strange side effect of something else. The rules are: If the swelling / reaction is near the original site of the sting...
