Had a few jobs lined up this morning but as the weather was so good yesterday I forgot to check todays forecast!!!! :( :( :(
Cornwall looks good though so Alex will be raking it in. :)
-
Yep! I ran round Like a loon yesterday to get todays scheduled work done too. So I might re-position my R/O, fiddle about with my set-up and stuff today.
-
yup, same here, just glad Im pretty much up with everything, still lose out though, could do with another ton this week.
I keep meaning to go out and canvass for about £200.00, but that'd be a waste of time today too.
But, hey ho, it'll be alright, no matter ;D ;D
-
The forecasts have been saying all this week it's going to be heavy rain today...just for once they've got it right.
Quite fancy a day off, my shoulder has been giving me gip :'(

Have a day off!

When I did it part time from February I only got rained off once. When I went full time on June 13th It hasn't stopped. Generally it hasn't been too bad because I'm not fully booked. Be worse If I had stacks of work lined up that I couldn't do.

I know what you mean Matt.
My daughter had her last day earlier in the week.
It will feel a bit strange now.

I had nothing lined up for today anyway but I was considering bringing tomorrow's work forward. However, it's VERY dark out there, raining a fair bit, and we had some thunder and lightning a few minutes ago.
The good news is that my flat will be looking cleaner and tidier at the end of the day. :)
-
I am going out to clean em tomorrow instead. With a bit of luck there will be a few new customers about ;)
Saturday ain't normally my thing, but as I am still round building I hope it will bring in an extra customer or two. If it doesn't then it will still bring in some cash :D
-

ive got five customers who insist on a clean rain or shine
three storey houses worth doing but could do without getting drenched
yet again ::)
-
Get me some of them!

Why not? Weren't you expecting it? The taxman has been collecting some of the NI for years.
-
Yeah but this is my 1st self employed return...knew about the tax banding, didn't know about the 8% NI so it's thrown my accounts out a bit.
Oh well got until 31st jan to save the extra.

Caught a sun tan today working by Paignton Zoo, very nice!

a bit of a sad day for me

Yes I bet it's thrown things out. I take it you're aware that the 8% doesn't kick in until you reach a profit level of well over £6,000+ ? It also stops once you reach a profit level in the high £30,000s but I don't suppose that affects most of us.

We went limited last week, so I'm now back to being a plain old EMPLOYEE, got the title of MD though for what it's worth!!

mmm, I'll worry about the high £30k level when (if) I get there!

Second that, they have always something else to do. Then there is the taxi service ::),

Hi Matt
They say the first five years are the most important for your little ones so it sounds to me like you've made a great choice and your little girl has had a great start to her life. It's a shame not everyone is always able to be in that position for one reason or another - makes it even more special.

PS. It's been sunny all day in our part of Cornwall but Alex and I have been stuck indoors doing paperwork!
-

-

When the weather is bad like this you have to set a reduced target to aim for.
If I see the forcast and they say rain all week. I set my target at £100 for a day. I get up go out in my waterproofs earn my money and come home.
But its never as bad as that, you allways get dry spells so its just a case of hanging in their and dont let the weather mess with your head.

Funny you should say that but unless the rainfall exceeds moderate, I think I should up my targets. I went out yesterday and did the work in just over six hours. The time around previously, I did the identical work in just over seven (in fact I did slightly more yesterday as there were some conservatory sides to do). This was because I didn't want to get wet for any longer than I had to.

Sainsburys?

Around there with the peacocks peering at themselves in the reflections from the panes of glass, quite funny really to watch them putting on a display for themselves.
