Morning Dennis  yes thats the boy

[jasonl]

It is a regular poster on here selling it , I spoke to the fella that does the maintenance on it this week , it is a good machine .

[from edge2edge]

Morning Jason Yes it looks really good

[Steve. Taylor]

With the price of fuel going up it might be he has filled up both the TM & VAN hence the 2k price increase

[Dave_Lee]

Not only has the price gone up but so has the TM hours from 700 to 935.

If you read the bottom of the original listing, you'll see that the number of hours on the machine was corrected  :

[garyj]

LOL, some funny comments here, wish I had thought of the fuel one  .

I put the price up as I would have been gutted if it had of sold for 9.5, the hours have gone up because I took the first reading from the digital display and not the analogue clock, they are different because the digital display was put on after ( the mathematicians amongst you can work out it was put on after about 300 hours  ).

It really is a good buy and has been well looked after, not desperate to sell and am still taking work on and doing it. As a few of you know I do suffer from a bad back and was out of action for the month leading up to Xmas, and as much as I enjoy carpet cleaning it's not the right job choice for someone with a constant twingy back.

Had a few local enquiries and to those can even offer work, leaflets etc.

One of the truckmounts we viewed last year was up for 8.5, it was on Ebay last week at 13.5 

I thought someone would buy it just to get rid of me off here 
 

[derek west]

so are you quitting when its gone gary, and are you seeking a carreer in web design instead. (might have some work for you if you are )

Well done Dennis, or should I call you Miss Marple from now on    .


I've got a load of ideas D some of which will be related to the web and have 2 or 3 projects on the go at the moment. Yes will have to quit for good, literally had a whole month of not being able to move and in the past when my backs given out a quick trip to the chiro has sorted it, now I am going sometimes twice a week and it doesn't get any better. It's ok at the moment and I'm still working but its only a matter of time before it goes again, odd thing is it doesn't go when I'm carpet cleaning, it's when I'm doing something trivial like washing up or even a sneeze!!

[Steve Rothwell]

Which optimised web site is it Gary?

and is your user name on ebay a hint of what you are going to do in the future?

[Sarah Kirby]

You wash up? Isn't that why Im invited over? lol  

[garyj]

Part of it Hecter, believe it or not I trained as a hypnotherapist about 14 years ago and worked at Forest Mere, Champneys, a well known rugby team and most of the cast of a soap! I even had a range of tapes out and loved it, I packed it in because my then girlfriend didn't like me doing it, it was then I got into contract cleaning. Always had an interest in the weird and wonderful and do have a hypnotherapy site but its more of a hobby these days. Oh, also used to have an internet shop which did pretty well and stocked over a thousand products, might start that up again as well if I can find the time.

It's sort of web design that interests me, whoever buys the tm will get a bespoke website which I am confident I can get highly ranked on Google very quickly with no black hat tricks!  

[garyj]

You wash up? Isn't that why Im invited over? lol  

Not just that, you're not a bad cook either 

[Steve Rothwell]

Well good luck Gary, apart from Ray at top notch I am your nearest fellow CC and wish you well in the web design stuff.

[garyj]

Ahhh are you, that narrows it down a bit, have we spoken this week?

[Steve Rothwell]

No we haven't, but I used to use the dentist on your road.

[garyj]

Bugging me who you are now lol.

Do you work with your dad? If not you must be near Burbidges!'

andovercarpetcleaning.co.uk, andover-carpet-cleaning.co.uk and the .coms are available if you are interested, bringing in work and the leaflets still bring in phonecalls and obviously still have my customers contaact details.

[Steve Rothwell]

I'm your sort of age group, and work with my wife.

You have had my leaflet through your door last year. For the right price your 2 websites may be of intrest to me though.
