.co.uk doesn't sound appropriate for a freelance web designer.

Just get a .net, or something.

The only thing is that although I am freelance just now, at some point Id like to register as a propper business, then a .co.uk would be best?
Maybe I could get both I guess and go under the .net for now.

Register both.
These days domain names aren't as important as they used to be.

Best of luck with your business.

Can you elaborate on what you mean please?

Im just going to go with something that is easy to spell, understand and is available. I like the word personalised but its rather long and the Americans spell it personalized lol

Keep it short. On the other hand, as you know, people rarely type website addresses anymore - they just search for everything - so length doesn't really matter. Choose whatever you think would look nicest on your shiny new business cards, and then focus on some SEO.

But you know all this anyway.
