What appened to the portables you had thought you had loads of staff making you a fortune
still got four of the exles as one got dropped down the stairs buy hubby :

the rest are all up on the hours 10,000 each apart from one with just 200 on the clock
from the new year ive down sized due to the t.m. doing very well

it does the work of two exels so now ive just got the t.m. and one exle out everyday (apart from this month where ive got three portys out due to the t.m. being off the road )
ive so much on with other things im not pushing the cleaning at the min and just booking work from regs, we have had for years , ive got a cow shed to turn in too a house so im busy with the local planning dept. and stuff thers not engouh time in the day
ill have my eye back on the ball at the end of the month when the t.m.s back thats if the paint shop gets it finger out i may need a trip too avonmouth to sort them out soon
