I should fire myself........
I have been working for myself since 1996. At first it was difficult - I'd never done any accounting but it was a challenge and I had a year's training.

The job is now a doddle.

This week. What have I done ?

Monday. got up at 9am. made a few phone calls. Reconciled a couple of sales sheets, inputted them into Sage so I could do Bank Recon.

Ironed a shirt for the HB. Cleaner normally does that.

Spent most of the rest of the day out shopping at John Lewis buying the cleaner an ironing board and new iron.

Went to the pub for the 5 o'clock club. Cooked salad. Ha ?

Tuesday.

HB has to go away on business. Ah, peace and quiet. Did no work whatsoever. Went out in the evening and got pissed with my mate Lesley.

Wednesday.

Got up at 10am at Lesley's. got home and made a few phone calls. Looked at the internet to check the balance of my busines account. Paid someone.

Today.

Spoke to HB, who asked me to make 2 phonecalls on his behalf. did that, then checked the bank account again. All good. Music lesson at 2:30pm for a couple of hours, tried the Mozart Clarinet concerto for a while. Then jazz on the sax.

In the meantime I've done numerous emails to people all over the world, listen to www.sky.fm and bought about 20 CD's this week because of the blasted site.

Being a musician isn't the best hobby when you are on your own and need a fix.

Mind you I'm on call 24 hours a day.

All quiet on the trawler front :-) It's not always this easy......and the risks are horrible.
