Phone numbersPosted by ALEXDH (ALEXDH), 21 November 2003
I know this may sound like i cant make a single decision for myself but.
What are your opinions on just having a mobile number.
Do you fellas use your good ladys to answer the home phone and take bookings , mines a career girl so is not at home much or do you use an answer phone forwarding to your mobile.
i thourght about putting booking hours on my adverts, probably a bad idea though.
how much is an 0800 number anyone know?Posted by Cloverleaf (Cloverleaf), 21 November 2003
First use a local number and have call diversion from bt.
I also use an 0800 free fone no in my thompsons add includind my local no, my freephone no costs about a fiver a month. This works best for me.

Just phone resource, stuff BT !!!!Posted by Ian_G. (Ian_G.), 22 November 2003
If you look in Exchange and Mart I think you will find a deal with no monthly fee and calls about 5p a minute.
Dont forget that if you divert them aswell you will pay the diversion fee on top.
And a lot of calls will be people selling advertising space in Doctors, Hospitals and Supermarkets.
On average 5 a week
Plus Chemical and equipment suppliers who will keep you talking .

My Kit
Thanks to those who advised and helped me out.
I now have a Robin for my spotting, smahing little thing sucks well for its size ,ooh reminds me of my first girlfreind. 
A NINJA whoopee just been playing with it. Large powerfull and hot, quite loud, reminds me of my second girlfriend actually. 
A power brush. Looks the business and goes well, leave comments to those those who know me and my Current lady.
A upholstery tool.
Still looking for a magic wand but will probably go for a nice new twin jet wand.
I have spotted an inline heater undecided whether I will get it yet , its a chemspec one second hand 120 quid. I know were to get it monday if anyone else is after one give me a shout and ill buy it and forward it on.
Also going for a sebo made bids on a couple of kirbys with no luck.
All the best

Posted by ALEXDH (ALEXDH), 22 November 2003
I surprised you forgot her name I could hardly get a word in, she supervises me when i go out with more than a tenner, especially when i was paying out £50 for the Ninja she wanted to check I was getting value for money.
It's Sharon by the way.
Cheers for everything

And she DID try to barter me down, but I'm used to that with the Colonial cousins I have to deal with .
Is she out spoiling a good walk today Posted by ALEXDH (ALEXDH), 23 November 2003
