Hi
I'm on benefits at mo due to ill health. Am considering setting self up as a virtual assistant, but what I really wanna do is write. However as the income will be somewhat erratic with both to start with, I wanted some advice on how to do this without breaking the law or being skint. Can anyone advise? thanks
