off to an adventure park with the kids in a bit, only one job which is done now and made sure nothing else was booked for the rest of the day. self employment rocks.

i would say, if youve got the money, treat yourself to a new and better set up, something to relight your fire. think of it as a new venture.

Do any of you long established guys get a bit bored of this trade?
Today I had an old lady explaining the in's and out's of where and when she bought her carpet after I commented on it being good quality. When she was explaining this to me, I felt sooooo bored I had the overwhelming urge to lay on the bl**y thing and go to sleep!
The next job was two large communal blocks. After setting up all the gear at the first block I sat on the first step with my head in my hands. Again, that feeling of I can’t find the energy or enthusiasm for this lot.

Maybe it's time to move on when you feel like this. I might do a college course in September to give my life a bit of diversity.

get a grip man ! you should appreciate that you are working when loads have, are, and will be losing there jobs in the future.

sorry but to hear the stories of grown men's head's going down because of lack of work and not knowing weather they will be able to provide for there family you need to take a reality check.   

get some exercise , this will give you a boost physically and mentally !!

"i would say, if youve got the money, treat yourself to a new and better set up, something to relight your fire. think of it as a new venture."

  That`s exactly what I`v done.
Been spending FAR to much time on another venture and found it hard to get into the C/C
I could see it all falling apart, so a serious word with myself was required.
Other ventures been put on the backburner.
Made a call to Matt and got him to send up an Airflex Turbo. Delighted with it.
Been using it for three days now and starting to enjoy the work again, I feel really fired up and getting on with everything I know I have too do. Like Derek said I`m looking at it like a new venture and cut out my lazy bad habits.
I`ll report back on the Airflex later when it`s done more work. So far Looooookin Gooooooood.

Hi Guys

My website stuff and being Secretary of a City of London Lodge keeps me on my toes but most of the time I spend cleaning carpets and it surprises me I don't get too bored.

Cleaning leather does my head in and commercial where I have been before can also be excruciating but all in all not too bad a job!

Cheers

Doug

I find carpet cleaning theraputic, it's like when you have been running for 10 minutes and your in the zone LOL, I like talking to custys too but sometimes I want to tell them to bog off and leave me to focus.

I only wish there was a majic hose that didn't need moving around and can grow a couple of foot when you just can't reach.

Leather cleaning, now that I do dislike! I've stopped doing it all together, does me nut in!
