If you can afford to buy a £1000+ piece of kit after 6 months as a legitimate business,doing something you enjoy, in a way that does not impinge drastically on your family life and you are still part-time, then you are successful by any measure I can think of. I was only being tongue in cheek about my presentation of the statement about success. mike
