Any tips on where forum members get that additional +£50k from? Asking for a friend.

That’s awesome!

Have a good set of standard t&c's to give yourself some protection. Include invoice dates, notice period etc. DM me as I have a template I can send as well as template for mapping a sales / client pipeline if useful.

Think like a sales team and make a list of people you've worked with that you got on with/would work with again. See what they're up to and if you can have a coffee (may lead to referrals).

Figure out what day rate feels right for you. Then up it as people will pay. (advice I was given was what salary would be ideal, then divide by 42 to give week rate with 10 weeks off per year for sickness/holiday/bank holidays etc).

Write down why you are going freelance and any hard lines/non negotiables you want to set for yourself - work days/hours, ideal clients, if you want to be part of a project team or completely working on your own, any values that are important to you so you know what you're looking for in a piece of work/client.

Experiment with working at home, trial co-work spaces and coffee shops etc (working from home full time gets me a little stir crazy)

Network like someone else said - find your 'tribe' and peers as well as possible clients and collaborators. Other freelancers tend to be really supportive and helpful so just keep talking to people that have done similar.

Today's course is stupid.

Ooof! Looking good. Excited to see it when back from the painters.

Thanks all! Bases last seems sensible way round and I’ve got some dead grass tufts, gravel and old catnip to create some textures and experiment with.

Just built a zombie army - still new to building/painting so going to spray a primer and give some time to think through the painting using contrast paints method.

One question - the minis are now attached to the bases, do people paint minis first or bases?

I’d plan to do both tbh - controls can be a meal stop or just get a stamp/answer a question on the card.

If you’re well fuelled you can either decide to skip queues at a control and just get a stamp if you’re feeling good, or take a well earned break, sit down and refuel.

Eat enough to enjoy the day and remember it’s all about doing it in your own time/at your own pace. (These are what I normally forget and so bonk/DNF/hate myself and everyone else with 100k to go).

Damn this game is addictive.

Years ago I got a train out to reading then rode to Aylesbury, Bradford on Avon to cheddar then up to Bristol.

Reading to Marlborough via Avebury also nice and can include ridgeway/explore all the long barrows.

Any out there lurking in a parts bin? Would need posting.

I’ve been using a Saris solo bike rack on the back of my vw polo for years now. Does make me a little nervy but never had an issue with it and keeps the bike secure. I do take it steady on motorway/dual carriageways and corners but even if it slides a little the bike and rack still hold in place.

Cheap and does the job.

Top tip: use a toe strap or similar to strap the front wheel to the frame so it doesn’t spin/wobble and also you’ll need to wrap the pedal that faces the car with a soft cloth or similar to stop it scratching the paintwork.

Thought the theory was she’ll resign close to election to trigger a by election and cause maximum damage to sunak?

The ideal LFGSS response that I was looking for!

Am now getting into gargeband recording and creating bits and pieces. Part of me would like to build up a pedal board or invest in a multi-effects pedal for likely live stuff coming up in the next few months. Any thoughts/recommendations?

Boss multi fx seems most highly rated but part of me would prefer the simplicity of a pedal board with a few key options rather than a more complicated interface.

Need a bass amp upgrade soon too.

Ridiculous.

smith gone!

I just ordered a kona rove dl that fits those needs but over his budget.

Kona Roves discounted on winstanley bikes and kona rove uk online store atm.

Interesting. Just have an Orange Crush 25 and a Vox Pathfinder - both for home use so nothing fancy atm. Likely to change as going to start playing live in the coming months so will need to upgrade.

Ace, will check those out.

Treated myself to a Focusrite Scarlett from thomann and finally hooked it all up last night. Did try to use ableton lite as it comes with the Scarlett, but far too fiddly so used garage band for plug and play.

Really clean and simple being able to plug direct in from the output socket on the amp.

Thanks for the tips!

Ah great. Would need posting though 😬
