    Perth Australia?

    Yes, where the cost of living is far higher than here ;)

    More likely to be Perth, Scotland on a UK forum is it not? Especially when the OP quotes their earnings in £.


    Unless, of course you know/recognise the OP.

    Had you taken a few seconds to scan the OP's posts, you would see he has been working in Australia. Some of us check our facts before posting!

    Why on earth would I look at someone's posting history before answering a specific question?

    Surely if OP was in Australia they should mention it and not rely on others checking up on them?

    Because a quick browse means we can offer the OP advice tailored to his situation. Not 'checking up on them' - being helpful.

    Do you have anything helpful to add to the thread?

    I have already tried to be helpful, by clarifying where the OP is living/ working. Unless you have something useful to add, please stop derailing the thread.

    Why assume Scotland rather than Oz when OP has only made 30 posts to read?

    As I said this is (generally) a UK forum and the OP said £ not $.

    Only the OP can tell how their business is doing. Are they making enough to live on? How much more work can they realistically do? How much more work is there likely to be? What does the OP want from the business - to retire a rich person or just to "get along" for now? And so on.

    Anyway I'm out. I was just curious as to why someone immediately thought Australia and that has been answered.

    If someone posts that they are from Birmingham, I always assume they are in England, not Alabama. My bad :o


    OP - I hope you are keeping accurate books.
