Just to chip in, obviously your circumstances are different to mine, but at your level of business, I'd have just the one phone, your friends won't mind you answering the phone AP's Web Design.
When I started, I started with just the one landline and one mobile and even though the business is a lot bigger, I still just ahve the one mobile that I use for work and personal calls.0 -

Hiya and thanksI did only have one phone but it was causing my anxiety levels to spike! I'm not very good at NOT working so was finding that working 24/7 and on social media, emails etc it was just not helping my mental state. Now I have the 'work' phone, I just turn it off and feel that I can hide and not have to work ALL the time. Just another mental health issue I have to work around
It's sim only though - got an old phone, so I don't have a contract. Just need one with a lot of data (obvs)0 -

Hi AngelPie78
I've only got through the first page of your thread and haven't read every post so someone may have given you the link to our Money Makeover already.
In case not here you go:
http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/family/money-help
That links through to lots of other help for you eg the Budget planner, boost your income guide etc.
You may find there are bills you can cut back on that would help save you money rather than you having to look for more income.
Take care
