Cheers for the replies like i said im sticking at it some people question you have you another job do you make a living they sort of feel sorry for you . now in my second year and i believe i can make a good living,beats working for someone else.

That's the attitude here in Ireland as well. I've been asked if I claim dole, (well I am trad so no surprise there  ), and if I am making a living (the recession is brutal here and people who are entitled to benefits here wait many months to get anything and have to beg, steal or borrow to survive).

Seven months in from starting from scratch I am nearing my first year's targets.
