Grippatank is booming and I didn't know why but now its number 1 on the insurance scale so makes perfect sense.

Booming ?

Yes, just as I was told, nearly £100k now in reserves. Wait till March 2025 because 24/25 has been their best year because of work and less employees. 👍
I am getting a new van soon and need to go back down with 2 vans so Oliver can swap my system over and I can get paperwork for Insurance Policy.
Very glad I worked with him because its all coming good for both of us. As I tell everyone, whatever we give out in life, the exact same will come back round again. I helped my niece when she bought a house that needed done up and I did it for as little as possible as she had a baby aswell.
A bizarre thing happened recently, someone died suddenly and she has become very rich so when I do work I will get paid well. Yesterday made 200 from windows and 400 from my bookmaker sideline, so £600  for half a day's work and then the woman that verbally attacked me, apologised.
Sometimes in life everything begins to make sense and I'm taking full advantage of it. Roll on Grippatank because the better Oliver becomes the better I become. 😉

Are you that prick on the FB forum making out you’re a horse betting punter and you’ve got the low down on a three legged blind horse running in the 3:40 at Cheltenham?

Will be done by 23rd. My best commercial day will get done on 28th or 29th December then I’ll start back on 3rd Jan. I’m ready for a break now tbh, havnt had a full week off since August.

Wait…Dazmond’s coming with a record year for tips🙄

I've had numerous jobs and careers although you would never have thought so. This may seem bizarre but wfp has been the best because it ticks all the boxes. Never had so much ready cash and free time to do other stuff. The only thing is, one needs a van system and hot water in the winter months.

I get where your coming from but as a one man band your ok if you stay healthy  and are able to work,if you become unwell no work no pay !  If your a white collar worker and work for a corporate company and earn a good salary the benefits far out way being a one man band as in annual paid holidays,sick pay,double pension contributions,private health care etc,yes as a one band we do earn good money but no real benefits apart from the freedom,but most people that work for a good Corparate company will work remotely and have the freedom along with all the above benefits and also be able to progress in a company,when your a one man band there is only so much you can earn with one pair of hands.
My son works for a corporate company works from home two days a week,also works from his phone when he’s in the gym and barbers goes to see a mate and works from there on his laptop,goes abroad and works there on his lap top whilst sitting in the sun,also has a company credit card and he’s 20 years old so it’s a no brainier he’s deffo not coming on the brush with his old man,I know what side of the fence I would sooner be sitting and is deffo not my side,but I don’t have a brain that works in that environment so at 63 I’m just going to stay pushing the brush in the cold,wind ,rain and boiling sun ,yes I can retire in a few years time with a decent pension,but please don’t try and tell me we’re better off if you have have read  and taken on board what I have outlined  above.
My son works for Collins aerospace as an account salesman take a look at there web site and then try to convince me I’m better off pushing a brush,no offence intended just my opinion
