Does anyone get this?

Because you are self employed that you can just take time off at the drop off a hat?

If anyone wants anything doing or taking anywhere its always me they phone.

Just had one know not even a close relative asking the wife if I can take them to Manchester airport as their lift has let them down, when the wife told them I was busy her exact reply was "oh right it's not like he has to go to work I thought he would be able to take us, otherwise it's going to cost us £30 in a taxi" :mad:

People just don't reliase it's harder working for yourself than a normal job.

Yep, Know that feeling.

My Fiance's sister and her partner think we're loaded and that we can afford "Everything" just like that. Fact is... I work from 5am to about 7/8pm mon-fri and don't take that much time off. And my wages are actually lower than theirs. Yes, sometimes I can take the odd afternoon off, but over all I get less holiday and certainly less holidays in nice places than most people who go out to work.

I like working from home and like being my own boss, but it's not a license to print money by any means.

tell the fuckers to have one pint a day less during their 2 week holiday, that'll pay for the taxi.

just wait till you got a car with generous boot space, you'll surprised how many friends you suddely have with fridges and shit to transport.

Yep, same with my girlfriend, she wants me to pic her up from the fucking hairdressers later!

your GF is out of the house? what happened, chain too long?

[Rosie]

Yep I get that attitude all the time, especially from my Mother who says I don't do anything all day and I should have dinner ready every night for my husband when he gets home from the office. She also thinks I'm a kept woman and should help my husband out by getting a nice part time job in a bank or something :ninja:
