You have your own good tale to tell, I always look to your website for a bit of inspiration. 

I have to work a lot harder than most creating a good portfolio of Commercial work due to demographics, but somehow i seem to have the best of what is available locally, ie schools , doctors, nursing homes, day centres, and higher end residential

Neil,

Sorry if my thread sounded like I was having a go at guys earning good money,
was not meant to sound like that. For me to earn mega bucks would mean me
working 7 days a week which I did not choose to go into window cleaning for.

Yes there is good money to be made out there in the commercial world but have
not chosen to go there as there is a risk element which I cannot take with a family of 5 to support. My wife works for a company whose owners are rich
but work all hours under the sun, but they never seem to have a social life
as all their hours are spent on the business. They may love this life but I prefer
a balanced veiw in life where I can give devoted time to my family as well as
providing for them.

Not against anyone getting rich but well against someone telling me to work all
hours under the sun so I can never get tax credits. But people have short memories that this replaced the married man's tax allowance so there is
no wrong doing in claiming.

Once again apologise if it came out the wrong way, just had a bad day.
