I urge everyone to Google IR35 to understand the rules around disguised employment.  

There is no way this is not a paye job, unless you use your own car, in which case the cost of insurance and petrol would make the 30 quid into 15 to 20 quid, which suggests 4 quid an hour is possible.  

^^^^^ using their van and fuel - thats not self employment - thats employed by them

i had that - a looooooong time ago i started a job in a paper mill that stated 8am start

fine

but on the first day they said right tomrrow can you come in at 6.30 to start to load tha truck

i will be getting paid for this?

erm.....erm..........

found out they only paid from 8am and the extra was expected and no mention of overtime or anything nor was it mentioned in the ad

i lasted only that day and they were shopped to DWP - daft thing was it was thru an agency thru the job centre ?

Going to make the next couple of months hard work while she settles in (and being a rescue, there will be behavioural issues that need to be addressed), but we're very much looking forward to it.

Today I was amused by song lyrics, Creedence clearwater, Bad Moon on the radio

 

Losing third gear before the song ended made me chuckle.

I predict spanners this weekend

Good ! So many impatient people on the roads that seem to think tractors are just there to slow them  down .

I avoided the ditches at the side of the road, despite the 5 bottlez of local plonk.

More than I did last year.

Oh yes.

Converted the CX's indicators to all-LED and changed the flasher unit to a LED-compatible one. All works grand.

Arts and crafts with my littlun. A 26" Captain America shield made of OSB ply! It ain't pretty, and I still have to do more coats and cut it out, but he's over the moon.

I was thinking that I haven't seen many blue eyed dogs.

tings that have amused me at the factory.

first off, the new "cleaning station" now behind perspex and with combination padlocks to stop the plebs, er, "using" the new brushes. Jaguar Land Rover is the factories biggest customer.
