It’s nearly the end of the Holiday season now, and I’ve not blogged about the Holidays at all, so I’ll blog about them winding down now.

Tax return = one happy camper

I mentioned the fact that I was to receive my tax return imminently… well yesterday I got it back! I don’t bother with any of those money brokers or anything, because I know well enough what to claim tax wise and what not to. I mean, when I start to earn a larger income, then [...]

On to the net

In my last post I mentioned that I was considering a small business where I sold my handmade wares. I outlined what would be needed if I were to do this in my community in my last post, but I had also considered doing it online. Maybe selling stuff on Etsy, maybe my own site, [...]
