I started up in April, was a bit gloomyer then. 6 months later i have a business that pays me more money for less hours and the best thing is i get to pick my working hours (though the boss does generally tell me to get I disagree out of bed and go get her some money lol)
As one of my customers said to me .... 'this recession isnt affecting me, my mortgage payements have dropped by £80 a month'
Oh and in 6 months ive cleaned my house 1 and a half times (front twice)
