Just finished it up, thanks for the posting about it, my research suggested it would be worth a punt but wouldn’t have heard it otherwise so thank you.

I am wishing to go back to work but cannot ever work full time again, 10-20 hours is the goal.

All my stuff is life long too, it was my therapist who encouraged me to do all this and cut back work, would of never done it else.

Started my new job on 27th April and it's fuckin great!

It's a relatively new pest control company which is growing rapidly, whereas my old company is struggling like fuck.

It's more money, fewer hours, less weekend work, less stress and I actually feel appreciated as I'm more qualified than 90% of the other technicians.

But the best bit is I can use the van for personal use. There's no speed limiter, no camera in the cab (so i can smoke while driving) and no fuckin driver management system that tells you to "go steady" everytime you try and accelerate faster than it tells you to.

I feel like I've been released from the shackles of oppression that my last company imposed...

If you're using the van for personal use does that not make it a BIK tax?

Yeh, you can opt in for personal use, where you get taxed more (about 70 quid a month) and get charged per mile, but my boss said to not bother with that unless i'm doing loads of long journeys. So i'm listening to my boss...

I don't know about that one mate, but im sure that if i had an accident, the police would test me anyway after they'd checked my record.
