Thank you to all that took the time to give that Mudcat help to my need for info about self employed.
Have gone up the no van route, got an accountant, getting a new bank account tommorrow. Your advice was very welcome.
Just for the record, sang a song at a morris music session last week, will be going out more, feel more empowered now, hope to keep singing! If I hit the verbal brickwall that I hit some 20 years ago it will fuck me up forever this time, but here goes!
Regards to you all.

Once again thanks.
