I Work monday to friday 9:30 while 5:30 in an insurance office, then on weekends i'm out recovering vehicles. sunday thats just gone, i went to manchester to pick up a car and straight after that went to pick up another motor from birmingham.

and sometimes i pick up cars after work too. so i guess were all in the same boat  :grin:

Even though I've got a number of staff under my belt - as the company continues to grow, my workload just proportionately increases. Its relentless.

I had visions of me doing nothing a few years into this; if anything, I now do more!

Retirement by 30; that's my goal. So I hope this is worth it.

Why I don't want to have a big business. Would be nice to have a partnership but the last one I had failed. Failed because other partner didn't like me earning money outside business times. Shame but was a good thing.

Would like to get busy and take on a lad or two.

How very true & if you do find someone good they upsticks and leave you in the sh1te...

I used to employ 5 people... Never again.. It's such a hassle with PAYE, wages, NI & if they are crap it's such a hassle to get shut of them..

Hmm. I've got my eye on a lad doing shifts as an apprentice.  Maybe use him as a subcontractor when I need a hand etc.
