No-one likes this sort of bragging!

which is why his earnings have suffered, thus he only managed to earn 300 quid

sorry but i dont understand why people brag how much you get,wow you got £300 for a day,to be honest no 1 cares if i made 500 for 1 day i wouldnt say
Title: Re: I Did It
Post by: matt on September 01, 2009, 10:35:35 pm
the answer is to ignore the post

i came and read this post when it only had 1 reply, i thought " here we go again "

if the poster doesnt get the response they seek, which is just attention in any form which is normally :

1. Oh well done, your a true pro and something that others should aim to be like
2. oh big deal  ::) your next post will be how you boned 3 models and then drove home in the Porsche
3. why oh why do you need to post about your earnings

so guys and gals, lets just try and ignore the bragging posts

Title: Re: I Did It
Post by: Platinum NW on September 01, 2009, 11:44:33 pm
Thanks for the post lmao! ;D
Did it all properly on my average houses - prices £2 a front for terraced and £5 for semis etc....
Nothing to do with my rounds for sale just happy ive hit £300 not done that in a long time lol !

My construction business is in start up but is starting to operate - Ive got to make time to do my work which is why its important to do as much work in a day as possible. Just started to rain when i finished which was lucky - Just juggling time now between both businesses but if i can manage i may keep the wc rounds as long as it doesnt effect my other business which should be easier to run when my business partner finshes his job and fully commits to the company

Something's not right here. Construction biz, WC biz, 300 a day, even though you have low prices. Lots of claims being made by yourself. Let's see if you are all that, with all of 20 or so years of age.

300 quid is very good with prices of between 2 and 5 quid. We have aerosol cans (250 ml) over here, called BS repellent.

Doesn't everyone earn £300 a day ??? ???

At those prices that's 60 semis in a day; that could have been worded better perhaps ;D
Title: Re: I Did It
Post by: chris@c.m.s on September 02, 2009, 01:47:59 pm
On a 7 hour day that allows 8.5 mins per semi, I must be getting slow  ::) it takes me that getting the hose out reeling, it back in, and writing the envelope or collecting :-[

didnt we have some1 on here once say it took him and his mate under 2 mins for a 3 bed semi ( on ladders ) this post it heading down that road aswell

I've been suckered again...I tried to give this Platinum guy the benefit of the doubt and yet again I have been 'done' like a kipper.

It's not the first time and will not be the last...

Ah well...

 ;D Pingu, he's very probably a windowcleaner but if you follow all his posts they make very amusing reading. He runs a construction company then asks how to get commercial work, he's also in the property market, wants to start work as a carpet cleaner, doesn't have a clue about wfp systems and asks for a cheap trolley, never heard of gg3 or gg4 has sold one round for £30,000 has more to sell, spends all his time at 'meetings' (which co-inside with his time on here). Employs staff in his construction industry yet doesn't have a clue about employing or what to pay, and to top it all he's only twenty.
Wet behind the ears or rather green I feel. Good fun though  ;D

Oh, and earned between £800 and £1000 per four day week but just got bored so packed it in!  ;D

I've not been following the posts too carefully I've been out getting a life for myself..I spend far too much time on this site...

But yes looking back...this chap has packed alot into a very small time frame with great success it appears ...perhaps we'll see this guy on the front of the News of the News this coming Sunday with an expose of window cleaning and the building trade.

Cheers
Dave.
