Sorry to say what with my rotten COPD I would be no help to you Mick but if I can offer advice on how to do things just ask

[sandy]

Hope all is well with you and your chosen lifestyle, it should give you satisfaction, that is what life is all about, NOT collecting weath but being HAPPY

[Mickyork]

I chose this lifestyle because it is something I have always wanted to do & I'm gonna enjoy it. I would like to make a little money out of it, money that can be put back in to buy equipment that will make it less work.    I'm not doing it as a business, I'm doing it for me

Well done Mick but if you can earn a few bob it helps pay for things needed.Its like that silly bluddi MP a little while ago He could easy manage on the DSS payment and proved it by doing it for a week.What the silly bugger didn't do was live on it for 3 or 4 years when his shoes had worn out his clothes etc;etc; I can live for a week on a couple of quid enough to buy some milk and bread and whats in the pantry and veg in the boxes to say nothing about the Utility Services Bills stupid that he is

[Mickyork]

I have seen some of the programs where these people go '' undercover etc '' & live as everyday people do. They are idiots. It's wrong how they reckon everyone can survive on benefits. I know some can, but I also know a couple of families who have lost some of their belongings because the money they was expected to live on was not enough to pay the overheads they had. Because of it they had bailiffs round. Don't know the whole story but I do know they didn't deserve it.  I have moved to where I live now because some of the companies I worked for went under & I never got paid. Because of this I could not afford the rent I had to pay. I am glad I moved because I am in a fantastic place now, not just in where I live. I have no money & own very little, but what I have is my own & I am real happy. Business is slow but it won't be forever. the only thing I am missing in my life is a good woman lol

You just have to get on with it Wizard mate. I had a few bad times but I'm still smiling    If you give up in life, life gives up on you.  You just can't let things get you down

Bamford 6 I do assure you  you can

[Mickyork]

I look at things with open eyes. There is always someone worse off than you are & that's one of the things that motivates me to make the most of what I have. Hope things get better for you soon Bamford6.
