[Daveyboy]

Mechanical agitation does it for me.......Envirodry

[Paul Kettless]

Mechanical agitation for me also, envirodri e30 and I also love my cfr handtool

I'm with Daveyboy, envirodri. Great piece of kit. Not as fit as I was but getting much better results.

The answer should really be ...............yourself. Make sure you are as healthy and fit as possible and take heed of lifting and handling techniques, etc

[simonwonder]

i agree with carpetguy
myself every time
if you invest well in yourself you can achieve anything just look at richard branson

[Kinver_Clean]

Time for myself.
I have rarely worked more than 5 days a week, those days may have been long but I have always made sure that I have time with the family, it is only there once if you miss it its gone, especially with young children.
I know you have to earn a living but keep it in perspective. I have put prices up very considerably and now take home as much in 3 days as 5. ( I also have my pension which is buying a newer car)

Hopefully it will be my wife when she comes and works for the business from 14th Jan.

It's been a big decision for her to give up her job as an accountant to come and work for the business in a office management role.

However I think (hope) it will be a wise investment, if nothing else it means that our quality of life should improve.
