My trusty old"  cowboy" volvo has gone to the great scrap yard in the sky.

I have replaced it with a shiny white vw Transporter to compliment my Tranny.

I have just finished fitting it out today and guess what no leaks.

I still have not had the tranny sign written yet ,so thats 2 that need doing.

I will post some photos of the fleet soon  ;D.

I reckon i can give up physical work for good by the end of the year, although i am not doing so bad at the moment with working less than 20 hours a week.

I am looking to taking on a third employee in a couple of weeks.

 who needs canvassing or doorknocking services?. Not me

  All from buying a round 8 years ago and the rest is word of mouth.

Not as big as the big boys and probably never will be, i live in the wrong part of the country for that ,i often think if i lived in a major town i could of cleaned up ages ago but i wouldnt swap Cornwall for anything.

Well that was all round the houses wasnt it.

Excellent news - well done.

Sarah - I've already told Dave that woman's too good for him.

I met them both at Windex, she's a lovely person, even laughs at his jokes, and puts in more hours than him.

I forgot to ask if she had a sister  :'(

Davie

you are right on all counts  ;D

But she would not have it any other way.

She even makes my tea and runs my bath and fetches my slippers.

Lovely  8)

Am sure she would David.

The day your empire allows her to 'retire' I am sure she will show you how its really done  ;)

Not many of us real supportive, hands-on women left so make sure shes treated to slippers, baths every no and again eh.  ;)
