Best start to the year - ever!
« on: March 03, 2015, 08:20:02 pm »
I came back from holiday on the 18th December and spent two days at a store in Cambridgeshire, for the whole of January 20 stores were covered (2 days per works) and we were going late evening till about midnight or just past and then the next morning, enabling us to get to two jobs in one day. These went into February.

Onto the Sainsbury's store at Ferndown for a weeks worth of work and now a substantial project starting in Cambridge next week.

Big start to the year, when ordinarily it is very quiet.

Rob ;D

Just completing a B & Q at Eastleigh, a small Sainsbury's on Sunday and some work for the Farrow system in a couple of weeks.

Ed & Rob thanks

We have never been busy at this time of the year, websites bringing the enquiries in (the new website should be going live tomorrow - only took a year to get it sorted).

I wanted to get a load of leaflets out but they are going to have to wait!

I've had a very poor year and only booked one day next week, hiding from the milkman and dreading the end of year meeting with the accountant  ;)

I can believe it of Chris but not of you Carl.

Done a lot of ducking & diving myself last year.

Nearly back in front on that though!

Neil - sooner or later you are going to have to walk the walk ;D

Ed yes I really do like it, I got the sportive so has all the gadgets, but I spend my life in that van so why not.

Fuel economy is better than the old ones.
I got it speed lined in the back so its completely water proof.

I will invite him publically to come and meet me on Friday morning, the last time I was in Crosby he didn't turn up so I doubt very much he will make it this time but I would like to see him and shake his hand for bringing humour into my life.

Not that I want to over communicate but maybe post some nice photos, make us all jealous.

I've got to go to bed now because I have two antique, italian, lever press coffee machines turning up in the morning and I am more excited than I ought to be admitting to :D

I've got a Delonghi Magnifica which I have had in bits more times than I care to remember. I have a walk round tyre machine which looks similar to your relic coffee machines

I only drink Kopi luwak and machu picchu. The machines look "interesting" maybe you could use them to press out crank pins.

If you drink Kopi Luwak then I would suspect that it is not ethically sourced. Even Harrods fail at getting the bean ethically.

It will be sourced from trapped animals, force fed to try and keep up with the trade.

The amount of Kopi Luwak drunk is massively over what the growers can supply from wild Civet cats.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

Black is the only way ;)

Still flirting around it. I keep being drawn into more commercial and I can't seem to give it any time.

I wanted to use what is ordinarily our quiet time to sort this out. We haven't had the quiet time this year.

I keep being told the new website will be live this week - not looking like it now but when it does it has a residential page and I will be working from that as the starting point to develop this side.

I look at Google analytics and know my hit count per month and am confident that some of the views are domestic but the current website just shows a commercial operation.

All will be changed!!

Keep busy

Rob ;D
