Remember what I charged fro the bedroom and stairs the other day - and that was up from the telephone estimate as soon as I saw the work content.   Shaun is more then likely above me - by far.

I'm guessing "Bankrupt auctions...."

Taking the pi** out of eachother's spelling was frowned upon a couple of months ago if my memory serves me right.

Sorry to be the sensible one for a change, I'd hate to see you get in any grief!!!!

Everyone has strengths and weaknesses.

I have a mate who is pretty much illiterate, yet you wouldn't know it to talk to him. He can take one of those big house removal lorries and reverse it through tight bends with cars either side without batting and eye.

Show him something once like pull apart an engine or a gearbox and he will put it backk perfect and wonder why everyone else has trouble.

So thankfully we all have different things to offer and that makes the world go round.

Not really feeling the squeeze as much as anticipated. Carpets and Upholstery grossed £3300 ish last month, that’s with one guy out. Ariel’s, sats and CCTV did us a gross of £48333 last month which is well up on previous years. This coupled to the fact that the switch over is coming soon and a spate or commercial robberies, prompting them to better surveillance technology.

Booked a clean in at a house on Monday house number 37.
Phone call today from same street, told her next Friday same as other one, she says what number when I tell her she says oh I'm 39.
Love work like that, it's quite a long street as well.

It usually goes mad on the suite cleaning about may, i ahve booked 2 today definately the weather.
I saw it on the TV that this summer is going to be the hotest in over 30 years, something to do with how the earth is placed towards the sun. Hope so!
