Well I've been thinking about it for long enough! I've been working for a company in logistics of agri machinery and getting involved in shows etc for 22 months and working in a big company just isn't for me I want to be my own boss again and recent weekend work has reinforced that so I'm going to go for it again :)

I'm looking forward to catching up with everyone its been a while. Just been and bought a new truck Nissan Terrano commercial...

    Welcome back Nic...

    Last thing I remember, I was
    Running for the door
    I had to find the passage back
    To the place I was before
    "Relax, " said the night man,

    Welcome back!

    The only benefit I can see to Employment these days is mortgaging - the new mortgage rules coming into force are very hard for the self employed - but othewise The abiltiy to be in total control of your work is beyond value.

    I bought a house got a mortgage while employed and sold most my big kit now going back to it going to re focus things I've learnt from mistakes in the past. I'm really looking forward to it I've recently been doing work at weekends and realised I like my old day job better than the new one. I don't like office politics and I'm going to go for it I work long hours now so I may as well work long hours for myself and benefit from it and reap the rewards. I'm under no illusion its easy I landscaped before for 7 years.

    I've not took a days holiday this year because I never can get time off or a day off when needed mostly last minute that's one benefit of being self employed I can arrange what I like :)

    Happy days I need to get my website back up and running and flyering and networking. I'll be back on here a bit more when I have time

    It's good to see LJN doing well it looks a great site still when I get time i'll have a good look around
