I’ve been in local brolly the last year while abroad, all money in and out of my personal account. Having been limited and able to draw off when needing more cash, certainly makes you realise how much money you spunk away.
Reigned it all in now and even got a budget! No more sky I don’t use, no more logmein just in case, no FreeAgent, no hosted server I got bus ltd on a whim...Comment

I managed 20 years almost, before getting so pissed off with it all that I packed it in in 2015. Was lucky to have got the 'golden years' of 94 to 99 with a lucky mega earning period in the early 2000's.
Ltd co formed Oct 1995 and completed voluntary strike off last Monday.When freedom comes along, don't PISH in the water supply.....Comment

'Twas 20 years ago last July that Zeity made a brief foray into the contracting market, followed by a 3 week return to employment in a tuliphole in the SO2 fallout zone from the coking ovens in the Llanwern steelworks in Newport, which prompted another attempt at contracting which lasted for 7 years.
Congrats on surviving so long.
13 years more than I managed.Last edited by zeitghost; 22 September 2017, 18:35.Comment
