On thursday afternoon it looked like it was going to brighten up so i went out and did three houses before it started to hammer it down. So as i was driving home i remembered that before xmas a customer asked me if i could get rid os his old settee. I told for £30 no problem. So as i was putting it on the roof bars of my mondeo i slippped and it cracked my windscreen. £30 for the job - £94 for the new windscreen - fantastic

Ouch.

I hate spending hours/days/weeks/months on a design, etc only to get it ripped off by someone and then have to pay for a Solicitor to get it sorted out  >:( .  We run on very competitive profit margins so it makes a difference to how much the customer ends up paying for the end product.

hi
customers who follow you round
customers who open the door while your wfp ing it
who stop you mid flow to pay you
who see you arrive but the keep you waiting while they unlock the front door and then the porch door only to tell you to wait while they find their purse.
the not today merchants.
the pole hose caught on everthing
the idiots who forget to leave the gates un paddlocked
who offer you tea as your packing up the van
those who have conservatorys tha fill the whole of their gardens giving me 2cm to work around it.
those that tell you your too quick
those who tell you 'you must be rakeing it in'
and those who tell you IT LOOKS LIKE RAIN

 i love all my customers dearly but they have all been tw4ts today.
on the other hand my mrs says its just me (bitch)
tomorrow WILL be better
tony

oh and another one,
those who say i thought you come at the end of the month when i have worked 4 weekly for 10 YEARS

Earning over £1000 each week on paper and yet never seeming to ever have £1000 in my hand to put in the bank.  Where does that mysterious £200 go each week that you never seem to see??? Please tell me I'm not the only one!!! ;D ;D

Shingle is definately there to reduce heat. If you've ever trod on flat roofs in the blazing sun without shingle and feet start to stick to the felt - you'd wish they had the stuff.

Looks very messy too with footprints everywhere!
