Working for what though? You'll have first pick of all the shitty little jobs but earn sod all for doing them. It's all very well working cheap to be busy but it's not really sustainable when your costs keep increasing.

Who said working cheap?

I don't like the way my boss looks at me in the mirror when I consider that sort of extremism. He threatens to hurt me with that razor blade

So if inflation and fuel prices come down do the nurses give the pay rise back if that's what its to cover?

You did. If you're winning the work due to not increasing your prices in line with the increased costs then you where most likely the cheapest quote. 

 

You also claim that by keeping your prices down below the rate of inflation you are winning work and the suckers that are putting their prices up will be crying next year.

I never said I was cheap in the first place

No, but then when the next round of wage negotiations are held they will be entitled to a significantly smaller increase. You do understand how these things work dont you?

I thought you did, you can't afford a decent pension/holiday time was what you mentioned, and if your not putting up prices in order to try and keep working when your costs are going up several fold then it's doubtful you're creaming it in.

If you had read the post properly you wouldn't be making a fool of yourself, i never said i couldn't afford those things i said the self employed doesn't get those for nothing, try and keep up
