    I thought he rented her out, but perhaps that's his mum.

    Hadn't considered that one - might have to start a thread asking if I can claim his dog food while he's at work.

    Bradette is also an IT contractor working in automotive sector. She makes sure the vehicles detect obstacles using radar system and applies brakes on it's own, if the driver does not do so in time (dozing off etc). Part of new Euro NCAP rules. And no, she is not scheming on crashing you lot into someone's wall.

    Our dog doesn't work though. Lazy tulipe.

    How many work, or how many take a salary from my LtdCo as they are two very different questions!

    My wife has three jobs - one full time, the other two part time. Full time one is being a mum to both children, part time one is being a wife to me (part time because I am at work for 40 hours a week) and she is also a 2 day a week primary school teacher. She also volunteers at a toddler group and runs one of the Sunday Schools at our church.

    We bought the house with a key worker loan so she is stuck in teaching until we have the money spare to buy them out. Somehow the immense wealth that contractors have does not seem to have materialised yet for us, although we are stonkingly better off than we were when I first made the leap about 18 months ago!!!!!
