    Yes it's overwhelming, but what else can we do?
    Get jobs in offices and wake up for the morning commute?

    I think that with the changeover to Universal Credits that the amount people earn self employed will be scrutinised more closely. My main bulk of self employed work is in a completely different field and does bring in a much better than NMW rate but I'm not sure what my hourly mystery shopping rate is.

    It's actually less closely. A self employed person on UC can just declare the amount of the threshold every month and it will not be looked at any more closely than now. If they declared they earnt under the threshold the claim will still not be looked at any more closely but the claimant would be subject to conditionality which is basically asking the claimant to look for more work like someone who is unemployed or look at ways to increase profit above the monthly threshold.

    :p Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S) :p Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money. :p
