Post by: alanwilson on March 17, 2008, 11:19:22 pm
started this morning at 7.15am on some shop fronts, then onto houses till 5.40pm (20mins for tea) then onto inside clean for a new nursing home (first tenants moving in tomorrow), finished and back home for 10.55pm

just thought I'd share that with you.

Must need your head examined. Work to live, not live to work.

With the amount he has just earnt I would have thought a cuple of weeks in RIO being waited on hand and foot by nubile young serving wenches would be in order and well deserved I would say....

Not just me then who does it. Still tired though.

Did 2 x 14h days last week & 1 16h. Worked solid through for last 3 weeks, had 1/2 day sunday then back in 5am monday.

It,s what it takes to build business up. Looking to expand so could be even busier.

I just like to get a good monday in then I dont worry about the rest of the week. Sure I work it hard but if it rains then it rains I'm not gonna worry about it and I dont work Friday if I can help it.

No that's just killing yourself for nothing, if you think about it money wise, forget it, there are 100% more important things in life.

well well, I got finished today at half 6, started at 8.10 but must have taken about 60mins or so in breaks so not too bad. 

The inside cleans last night were priced reasonably well but it was enjoyable, mp3 player on (80's classics) and all easy to do windows. 

think I'll take friday off though - mite even take the wife out for dinner too!
