worse month for a long time. Van off the road for a week and a half..

Well done Daz for breaking your record, they are there to be broken!


British Will, same here van off the road needs new clutch and injectors, ouch!
Work wise should still do more than last Jan though.
Do you know a guy called Sascha by any chance??


I bought  round off a lad called Sacha,  he lived in Manchester at the time,  around 2000.
Same bloke?

Kev, you're welcome to have a play with my Extreme 47' if you like.
I'm in Woodhall Spa on Friday-think that's as close as I work to you...

It's just the internet. Try not to worry.

That's nice to have that option Daz, yes I know what you mean about getting fed up with working all the time especially 6 days a week. I said I'm not doing weekends anymore but I've taken on 3 office cleaning jobs on that me and the wife do on Sundays so only get a lay in in Saturday. Don't mind doing the Sunday were only out about 3 hours. 👳👳👳

Dannymack what kind of rate is realistic on office cleaning as I've been asked to quote for 2 where I clean the windows, it would be done early during the week before people get in but I'm not sure if the rate is similar to window cleaning? For example if an hour and a half was required one day a week starting around 7, how much would be a realistic quote? The only cost to me is a few basic cleaning bits, I know people say go with your rate etc but I'd just like to see how other people go about it.

Cheers, Tom
