your more than welcome to pop round with the misses clinton. it only costs a £crate to get in. and then the beers free if your quick enough. ;D
we'll have to sort something out one night, get a few of us out. word of warning though, my misses talks for england and she's captain. put it another way, every donkey within a 10 mile radius has no hind legs.
can't do tonight though, i'm washing my hair.

half pint glass and top up as you go?
i want to relax not do a 100 metres relay all night. ;D ;D ;D
it is good stuff though, i'll be flat out by 8 o'clock.

Hi

Personally i believe Shaun recieved 86 call in one day, but then i am a bit gullable.

I would imagine he went a bit mad with the marketing & probably in the run up to christmas.

Believe it or not it's true I can remember cleaning a set of stairs and I took a call on every stair on the way down, obviously diverted to my mobile, at the beginning of the day a single carpet was £35 then at teh end of the day it was £60 ::)

There are a fair number of  " jackanorys " on here, but Shaun ain't one, he doesn't need to make it up, having "walked the walk " for a longer time than his photo suggests.

It can be a pain when the phone rings almost constantly, but most businesses would love to be in that position.  Very few are !

We are talking some time ago when I was younger and handsomer, today I have had more calls than I got for the most of last week (27) I do programme my marketing well albeit 86 was desperation it was done with a combination of 40k leaflets, database and YP and 2 adverts in local paper at the Xmas period, the present Mrs,Ashmore was pregnant at the time and like a good caring soon to be father I thought that I had to earn for 3 lots of shoes as normally I had to earn for 2, hers and hers.

Result cleaned the minging 2 bedder today ! said £114 if i couldn`t get lounge clean ,or £140 if i got it nice.Turned out really good apart from a small section where the sofa had been  ;D..Very happy customer and i drummed it into her why i was over twice the price of her other quote,said buy cheap buy twice ! she has said she is going to tell all her friends what a good job i did too ;D
She also called the boss of the letting agy i work for,who had said it`s a replacement job ! He was also impressed,more browny points to me ! There is something really satisfying about getting a really minging carpet clean,well on my way to having a grands worth of work booked this week now ! Bring it on
Also had an amusing sales call from first search re getting first page on google and a load of other search engines one off £295 + then £49 p/c/m let him give me the pitch for the second time in 2 weeks.Was an amusing lunch break,i have no intention of putting any more money into internet as yet,and seo is something i will be doing myself ,for free  ;D

Oh and i have never seen a carpet bleed so much dye ! red ish carpet water was coming out a murky pink colour,nasty cheap carpet !

Used pre spray gold,a weak soloution though,have overdone the pre spray recently and had foam issues,using liquid defoamer now top stuff !
Oh and on the really bad bits ultra pac renovate worked a treat ! sometimes i find p/s/g can bleed colour real bad ,either that or the whole carpet should come out that colour  ;D
