Thats not a bad price mate 40 pence is that with vat etc

[derek west]

40 pence + vat + delivery.

[Ian Gourlay]

But how many do you need to buy.

[derek west]

100 ian, not gonna break the bank, so guessing about £50 all in.

derek

[derek west]

right
got the info.
there 18 p for the bottle and 24 p for the sprayers, theres 3 types of sprayers to choose from.

if you give them my name you should get them both for 40 p as i was quoted this price in an email then when i rang up they were 2 p dearer, so they let me off with the 2 p. prices are plus vat so bear this in mind. the carriage is £7.50 and you can buy as many or as little as you want. i'm getting 100 to start with, i'm also picking them up rather than carriage as there only up the road from me.

a few of you guys expressed an interest so if you email me again i will send there name, web address, email and phone number tomorrow when ive picked them up. they do a massive range of bottles, sprays, pumps, lotion dispencers, you name it. so if this is what your thinking of doing then these are the guys to deal with. my email for anyone interested is derek@affordablecleaners.co.uk
sorry for anyone who has allready emailed me but i'm getting used to this new computer (vista) (windows email) and deleted loads of emails by accident, doh!

anyway they'll send you a sample pack and then its up to you, but only serious enquiries please.

[derek west]

Hi derek

Look smart they do
How did you do the labels

[derek west]

bought sticky labels from stationers and designed and printed them myself. night need some sticky back plastic to go over the top to keep them waterproof though. all in all the bottles with labels in cluding ink and everything comes to about 56p all in. so just got to mix some M/S and put it in when i need it, hey presto, a present for my regulars with my phone number on it so they'll never forget me. still send out reminders though but in an emergency they know who to call.

Doesnt look bad derek and least its worth a go you caint loose much.

I sometimes leave some for my clients a diluted bonnet buff in a plant spray and they use it.

Was going to say some plastic coated front to stop it running.

good luck with it

[Gary Webber]

Great Idea guys but...........

depending upon what you put in as spotting agent, check msds sheets, as if there are any issues with chemical content the label needs to display them i.e. harmful. I would be worried about comeback should someone do something silly with it!

[Fraser Thom]

They look brilliant Derek but one question I wanted to ask you was, and I'm sure this will be on a lot of the guys minds, and that is, why haven't you got Sky HD?

Fraser

[derek west]

 
cos i bought my 42inch plasma tv just before HD became known and it doesn't have hd capabilities, and my misses won't let me buy a new tv, even though theres a 50inch lcd in curries for £799 which ive got my eye on.
keep hoping the kids will throw the wii remote through the screen while there playing wii baseball so we have to get a new one, then i'll upgrade too sky HD. hows that for an excuse.
