Right my turn
1 talk to HMRC they will help
2 if you are doing work paid or unpaid you need to tell the dole office
3 the rules for unemployment are you have to be available for work not off tiling someone's kitchen
4 I do my own accounts with software purchased from HMRC
5 I have worked my arse off for 28 years to get where I am it is not easy I work on sites etc aleast 45 hrs a week then spend the same amount off time doing paper work
6 I do not take lightly to short course poeple who think they can tile it takes time to learn
lastly before anyone asks I do not do cash jobs every job is declared

Mr T did you look at college or an apprenticeship?

I was a little shocked at your attitude in this thread to be honest, little suprised you didnt get more backs up either. Not looking to kick things off again, but my advice to you is still the same as it was 5 or 6 months ago.
C Rep' makes some valid points too. Going at things half loaded and a few pages missing is part the reason the building trades are in such a mess in the first place. I can wire a plug but it don't make me an electrician.

Wish you all the bedt whatever you opt to do, one things for sure I've never met s young'un as enthusiastic as you, credit.

I agree with all thos issues mate.. I have already sorted a meeting with an advisor to Discuss self employment. My jobsearch is fully legit and check each sign on and you cant hide from it as its all done over the net now. And yeh I know its going to be hard going for at least my first 5 years but I want it and feel ready. Cheers mate

Thank you Ali... I have been very busy the last couple of months and have done loads of tiling... Ive had to do all sorts and this site has helped me atcheive a good finnished propperly done job. I feel confident I can start taking the small work that is all mate and feel I deserve just a little not too much for all the work ive put in to date. College is completely out of the question as I couldnt live if I sign off. And apprentiship there is nothing at all going. Thanks matey

Interested that you say that lee .
do you really only have to show the statements and not supporting invoices.
i was told this by my new business manager at Barclays but he got sacked within two months of appointment .
My dad is an old school accountant retired for 25 years and he always insists that I have support invoices which can never be wrong but maybe times have really changed and you can get away with just statements.
i would be very interested to hear your comments

I keep every invoice that gets pays for materials/services on my credit card. Firstly, I can cross reference when doing my accounts. Secondly, it just says on the credit card bill where I used the card and to what value. The invoice shows what was actually purchased.

So this loads of tiling was free and you told the dole you were not available on those dates you worked. :)
