I got a tip today, don't leave your pump to fill up your backpack in the back of the van,park the van and wander off to do 1 1/2 hrs trad work in town centre. Did have about 300l when I left it,and pump was pumping fresh air when I returned. At least I got home early today though!  ;D

years ago i used to work for the a government scheme fitting locks for the elderly.(help the aged)

1 xmas i fitted some locks in this flat and there was an old man who had an old deck chair in his lounge with no furniture or home comforts.i was chatting to him in his kitchen and he was snuggled around his gas cooker with a burner ring going on the top which was keeping him and his hands warm.

when i finished he said thank you and went to give me a £10 tip.
i gave it to him back and wished him a merry xmas.

he obviously didn't have a lot of money and a lot will probably say he might have had thousands stashed away,but if you see the conditions he was living in it would have tugged on your heart strings to.

i thought what a lovely old man.

bit off the topic but it jumped in my head and i thought id share it.
regards

Man, you have got to be rolling in it!  :)

Mmm well year one was all about building a round up... And i was only 18 so had my fair share of nights out as you do.
Year 2 i bought a new van and saved to pay that back.
Year 3 i now have ny head screwed right on, have improved my van system, new pole and uniform! From 2014-2015 im setting myself a 100 new customers target. This might not sound alot to most on here but i have never canvassed and once i get the hang i might beat that target :D

As for rolling in it... The more money i earn the faster it goes;)
