Taking the plunge?

[LeeBee]

Well story goes something like this, Taken into office at work a month ago to the day and made redundant (thanks then!) so I am now sat here on "Gardening leave" with no gardening to do!.So do I take the plunge and go full time on the TVR's as an independent or get a 9-5 boring job?

What are your views?

Cheers

P.S large chunks of money gratefully accepted

Well I spend most of my spare time working on TVR's (and other marques, Mini's, Corvette's etc) anyway so am quite used to it (have been doing this for about 2 1/2 years now).One thing I don't enjoy doing however is gardening!

Good point, one thing I have always tried to do though is be honest, I don't charge 8 hours to do a job if I know I can do it comfortably in 4 (unlike some nameless outfits).I usually diagnose a problem and call the owner and let them decide if they are happy to proceed with the work and in most cases give a fixed price for the work instead of running the hourly rate clock.Basically I don't like to be bull*hitted and don't do the same to others

Firstly thanks for all the kind comments and secondly for the advice given.Still not sure what to do but I will keep you all informed (and you'll all be invited to the grand opening if I go ahead! albeit a beer and bag of crisps in my workshop ).I just couldn't imagine telling my grandchildren stories of missed opportunities (what next LeeBee in pipe and slippers shocker!) not that I have any grandchildren!

P.S anyone needing work, email me direct

Oh dear, sorry to hear your problems (email me for a chat, I wont go into details here!).Anyway a quick update, I now have a "9 to 5" but a pretty good one so I cannot complain (I am still laughing at my previous employer actually!).I will however be setting up part time on a much larger scale and will be setting up a decent website (well I'll do my best!) with services I can offer.I am also planning a new workshop .Thanks to everyone for their comments

Cheers
