I’m a relatively new vegan (New Years 2007), and have pretty much done the research regarding both food and clothing.

What I’m not too familiar with are the best vegan friendly options for hair and skin care. In everyone’s opinion, which products are the best to buy? Thanks in advance for suggestions!

I am going to begin cleaning the office where i work. I need to know what will be the best way to go about this because i do plan on reporting this to the irs. i will be getting paid ,200 a month. I will be buying all the supplies on my own, coming in on my own hours and paying someone else in the event i can not make it. Should i have the company pay me as an employee and have them automactically take out the taxes or get a 1099 and do the taxes myself? thanks in advance for any advice.

Does anyone have any idea’s (genuine) on how to run a business from home. Something that as a mum i can work around children. I was thinking along the lines of Becoming and Ebay store owner (but how can you buy wholesale without having business premises) or Printing party favors or customising wooden letters and names for childrens bedrooms (different colours, shapes, etc) but do you have to buy equipment to cut the wooden letters yourself or are the bought wholesale? The retail price for them is so low some a few pounds a letter, how can a profit be made?
Any idea’s would be thankfully recieved. Any other mums who have started up home businesses got any tips? Thanks in advance for your responces.
Thanks for that but i am not a party person. Any other suggestions welcome.
Thanks international Scotman, as a Scotswoman myself I welcome your input. I live in the south of england now though, if that helps any?

I am starting the patch today and was wondering if anyone out there has successfully quit smoking without gaining weight and/or actually was able to diet and lose weight during the process.

I have tried to quit smoking a bunch of times and I really need to go for it again. My blood pressure is up and I just can’t breathe right anymore. Typically, however, I gain weight when I try to quit and I cannot afford to gain any more. I need to get rid of this winter packing and the winter packing of many years before in order to be healthy again.

I would appreciate any tips that people who have been in the same situation can give to me. Also, I would like to know if the typical weight gain associated with smoking cessation is due entirely to eating habits or if there is a physiological basis for weight gain despite a healthy diet and exercise. Any information that anyone can give will be helpful.

Thanks in advance.

I am currently trying to loose weight.

Me:
weight – 10 stone 11 lbs (151lbs or 68kg)
height – 5 foot 4 inches
bmi – 25.79 – overweight (93rd centile)

I want to be:
weight – 9 stone (126lbs or 57kg)
height – 5 foot 4 inches

Im starting a new diet as i have tried so many & none of them seem to show positive results. I have decided to start the slim fast diet. This diet means i have to drink two milkshakes which are made up of slim fast powder mixed with skimmed milk & a main meal. I can also have snacks but i rarely get hungry during the day. This is a calorie controlled diet. I also exercise for about 1hour a week ad i have a busy schedule.

My diet plan:
1 milkshake for breakfast.
1 slim fast cup of soup for dinner OR 1 milkshake.
A main meal for example jacket potato or salad with rice & chicken etc…

Is anyone else on this diet? Can anyone else give me some tips or advice?
How long will it take for me to loose weight on this diet? Does it actually work?

Thanks in advance x

Thanks in advance for your answers, and if you know of any other safe and effective weight loss products please let me know

UK only please – Ok so I have a second home, mortgage paid in full. I want to rent and have a tenant that I trust who will be paying rent through Benefit. My questions are:
1. Do I have to inform Inland Revenue of my second income?
2. Is it better to use the property as a business income?
3. Can I offset expenses with repairs, bills, travel ect for both types of rental?
4. Would I have to pay tax on the income in both situations?
5. Is there a limit to annual revenue earned through rental income before I am taxed ect.

Is there any online help / guidance regarding this?

thanks in advance
