I have just had a job today cleaning a beer spillage in a Golf club changing room - it was a barrel that had been spilled - if they had called 2 days sooner before the beer had dried it would have been much easier and I could have extracted it without a machine.  :P

That aside it has been quite.

Martin, can I ask what is your marketing based on? Repeat customers, cold calling, leaflets, via web site, publications.

Got the work just can't get out,

Shaun, same questions as above

Snowed in again today :'( :'( :'( Up at 7.30 with the spade but to no avail. Had to cancel work yet again. I have now booked all domestic work from Monday.
Had another 3 flood jobs today and have managed to secure them for tomorrow and Fri with the builders going in to do the prep work ready for m to dry them out.

Next week will be a better week. Fingers crossed ;D
