Eee - I'm chuffed to bits. *hugs right back* - thanks! Now I have to go and work out how to register as self-employed *boggle* Never mind - once it's done, I can also push ahead with trying to get some web design work.
Oh - and thanks loads for the virtual greeting card. Very sweet of you *grins*
Re. Registering as self employed...I down loaded and filled out the forms online here. I also registered to be let of my national insurance contributions as it's unlikely I'll earn enough in the tax year to warrant paying it. Also, if you think you're income is likely to be quite low until things kick off, register for help with NHS costs. I know my circumstances are a little different, what with the kids, but I got my certificate though this week...fee eye tests, dental treatment, prescriptions etc, a great help :)
Ooo - thanks hun! I hate forms, so I tend to faff about not getting around to it for ages. This is supplementary to my main job, so I won't get NHS help, but how do you register to be let off the NI contributions?
How shit am I...how long ago was this post??? Sorry hun!
I registered when I filled out my tax and self employment registration form as I remember. There's a little section where they ask you if you think you'll earn below a certain amount, That being the case, you can apply for exemption :)
Well... yes. They've ripped out the swimming pool, erected a garden shed, replaced the carpeting, painted the living room and kitchen taupe, and the upstairs hallway was supposed to be painted the same dusky-pink as the wallpaper on the stairs, but it wound up Pepto-Bismol pink instead.
Dad says they were going to paint my room black and turn it into a bondage dungeon, but didn't get around to it.
He is letting me use his laptop..he is cooking a veggie stirfry now...hopefully that will make me feel better. I can't wait until Springtime.. I haven't done much online research today... just got up from a nap....hehe..and I am supposed to be making vegan icing. I was going to post some of these on vegan candy lj. maybe tomorrow....just catching up on email and posts. :) Let me know if there is a recipe you'd like...I have a bunch of vegan zines here.
The little maggot in your heart is also dancing in glee as well. Ah those cute inner maggots! *pinches maggoty cheek* So when are you going to be writing my boring ass life story into something way too overly developed with melodromatic flare and centered into a lively Celtic theme? Congratulations on getting the job, Ms. Mule!
