    purchasing app

    I manually store everything. I'd continue to do this but I'd like to get my hands on a package that will do this electronically and provide running totals at the touch of a button. The advantage I think too of an app for a smart phone is that costs can be added real time I.e. When I fill up the...

    was it worth it?

    Iv struck out on my own after 18 years. Tbh, I'm wondering if the money I'm ploughing into this game is worth it. I'm getting limited interest in my business right now. True it only been a couple of months. But it's worrying. A lot of the interest I'm getting is from stupid little jobs for...
