Queuing up to come over here ..... to get free money that your taxes are paying for.

 

You are obviously not working hard enough (if you have time to post on forums) or we are not taxing you nearly enough.

HM Government

 

Cameron's slowly changing the benefit system for the better. All in good time

On Thursday the doomsday clock was moved from five to three minutes to midnight.

 

Seems the scientists think we're on the brink of something which is certainly NOT good!

 

Haha, just checked it out thanks mate, only consolation is we've been there before I suppose. Hardly surprising with the abundance of short-term thinking/decision making :(

So when I started out 14 years ago, people didn't get "quotes" you just looked at the job, gave them a price and they said "great, when can you do it?" I have often said that if I had known then what I know now I would have made a fortune. Sadly I hadn't a clue and so I didn't.

 

Still, 8 years after the crash the figures seem to be heading in the right direction, employment up, inflation down, wages rising etc.. so I wonder how you are finding it? are the good times about to roll again?

 

I think the point is you were cheap so got most jobs by default! Being a little naive possibly got you a start at the bottom of the ladder as a start to where you are today! :thumbup1:

Isuspect there's a little truth in that Buzz, however back then people were just remortgaging as their house value went up and up, and spending the cash on home and garden improvements. Thats not happening now.

 

I'm still optimistic though, I have managed to quadruple the size of the business since the crash, so now that things are on the up a little I am hopeful for a bright future.

 

As others have said a lot of success is simply down to a positive attitude.... Take note you pessimists! LOL.
