Title: BIG THANKS to David M and Sarah S
Post by: P @ F on March 27, 2006, 10:29:12 am
As i say guys , big thanks to you for the method statements , risk assesments and canvass letters , they definately work well !
You may have read in previous posts that i had work in the pipeline waiting to be given the go ahead , well its all just come good , and i have to say they were all most impressed with the literature provided .
All in i got a 7K and a 1K contract , may not sound a massive ammount , but when you think it came from 4 posts on here , and 1 cold call and 3 letters , totalling about 30 minutes work , thats good i think !
It should take around 20 days over the year to do it all , that i can live with.

 Thanks again for all your help , oh and before i go does anybody have a nice invoice to send me so i can charge them !   ;D

Hey Adam , thats the very same one , hes not gonna be a happy bunny is he !
Still 7K is better in my pocket than his  ;D
And besides , i know who im looking out for , thats gotta help on the self defence front !
I feel a bit naughty but i did not undercut as far as i am aware , the boss man said his standards had slipped over the year he was doing it , and he had still not submitted his insurance or risk assesments .
In my eyes he was a gonner anyway , i was just in the right place at the right time for once .

Try right clicking on the program (you were sent)

In the grey box with options that come up - highlight "open with"

New grey box comes up.

Look for Microsoft excel.

If you can't see it go to the bottom and click "choose program"
 
Run down that list until you see excel.

If you can't see it you ain't got it.

good luck

If you're trying to open an exel file with M/S works you cant  they are essentially the same format but have different file associations
an exel file ends *.xls whereas works files have a different one something like*.wks
