Yes Colin - likewise for eleven years.

Perhaps Spruce might pass on our condolences and grateful thanks.

I have edited the title of the sticky thread. Please feel free to use either thread.

I just keep going, only doing 7:30am-11am these days. Will take off a few days close to Xmas anyway.

Your average day is only 3.5 hours long?

Yep, that’s the average now, latest midday. This week haven’t been later than 11am.

Leave the house at 7:15am. Or earlier on commercial.

My round is now so well refined, even my domestic work requires less than 4 hours to hit a good wage. I  could earn more, but I’m very happy where I’m at, my work like balance is perfect now.

Would also add, I work fast, I’m very efficient and I don’t mess about. I get it done and get home.

I’m eternally grateful to Paul best £50 I ever spent purchasing George, used every day for the  last 17 years
Thankyou paul RIP

Lost an hour this afternoon because I drove round the back of lockups to clean the back of a house. We used to be able to continue driving down and round onto the tarmac until the boy racers were using it as a race track. The moment I stopped the van and seen the big concrete bollard I knew I was in trouble especially with the rear wheel drive my van has. A few guys came out and helped me by placing fencing boards under the wheels and pushing me out. In the end I lost an hour and think I will design plywood boards that fit together to see if it works by spreading the vans weight. Watch this space!

Plywood boards have already been invented. They're 6'x4' generally.

Usually 8x4 😉
