How do chaps cope with self employment? Sometimes I feel like jacking it all in, the hours you spend looking at potential jobs then having to work a price out on top of a days graft, all the work comes at once and all want you there yesterday, van packs in, work load get puts back putting more pressure on you, laid in bed wide awake because cogs are spinning. I sometimes wonder is it worth it.
When the good times are rolling it’s great it’s had its ups and downs but would I swap for a 9-5 s**t money the answers NO free time and a life without rules suites me sir!

You could say that haha, think I've taken on more then I can handle but hate turning work down, I don't trust any one who I don't know in my area to help me, every one i do trust are too busy,


I'm the same. Don't trust many and e en at that, a few still would steal the eyes from the back of your head if you weren't looking. I ended up doing a full extension on my own ffs because of the limited amount of people I trust where do busy.

The self employed is wrecking my head recently. Dealing with alit of c**ts this last while plus so busy with work and calls.

You want to sack your labourer, looks like he's fell of the planks and spilled a couple of barrows on the floor!
