Theorhetically. Your self employed, business is ticking along nicely and your earning enough to pay the bills and get a nice holiday every year but, most importantly, you absolutely LOVE your job.

If someone offers you a job which is a massive payrise, bordering on silly money, but its pish poor shifts and will be boring as foook (but not hard graft) would you take it?

Asking for a friend.....?

Define "silly money"?I have done silly things for silly money in the past,but its got to be so silly its f***ing hilarious.

Retired now but was self employed most of my working life, but for about 8 years I work in a factory doing shifts on the production line and hated it. Then got on the maintenance team in the same factory, better but I hated the shifts. IMO shift work Fecks you up. Was never happier than when I was self employed. 

Cheers Arry

I work 12 hour shifts three weekends a month as well I like the job and the money is the best I’ve ever earned but shift work does get on my tits sometimes, I was 55 the other day I’m knocking it on the head when I’m 60 I can’t wait. 

My advice to your mate is he will get bored don’t do it.

I'm in work now typing this I bloody live here.
