Can I be employed by my own company???

It may seem like a daft question on first glance but I've searched around and can't find the exact answer I need.
Basically in recent years I've been forced to skip around between self-employment and temping and along with financial difficulties it has played merry hell with my employment history and credit scoring etc.
What I got to wondering last night was whether I could legally form a sort of shell company to "employ" myself rather than be "self employed" - and sub-contract my services to my self employment and temping agencies through my company rather than be on their books directly - thus being both "employed" and have a continuous employment record.
I don't want to perform any sort of fraud or be dodgy, I just wondered if this could be a legal way around my problems?

You can form a limited company and give yourself a wage through that.
BUT
I don't really understand what exactly your problem is, and not sure it would help.0 -
You cannot set up a company to employ you if you are doing temp work through agencies. It would be caught by IR35 - all employment agency contracts are with the individual person.£705,000 raised by client groups in the past 18 mths :beer:0
