www.vistaprint.com

They give you a design template and the tools to write script, a bit like a word document, and you can upload upload pictures
to it. The choice of templates is good and it's dead easy to use and you can keep going back to it to add things or remove things
easily.
It must be easy I did it and it looks very professional.
Best is you get a month free trial so you can cancel within first month.
After that it's
3 page  £2.99 a month     5 page  £5.99    and professional with unlimited pages, 3 e mail addresses etc  £8.99
Give it a go, I'm on the 5 page one at the mo and am going to upgrade.
You can't go wrong with a free trial plus you can cancel at any time.

They do different FREE offers every few days - There is a section on there that says FREE items which changes regularly - I got 1 small car door magnet free and paid £3 postage, liked it so much ordered another one for the other side also FREE with £3 postage. Before ordering check the size as the small one was perfect for my car the way the doors are shaped.

We're based just outside of Ipswich we do Carpets, Upholstery, Spring Cleans, End of Tenancy, Windows & trying to get some regular cleaning contract. We did our first hard floor clean a week or so ago which was included in a big spring clean. We did do regular domestic cleaning but thankfully got out of that.
Never dealt with stone restoration

We do domestic carpet & window cleaning but not the 2 hr visit per fornight for general cleaning. Found it VERY high maintenance, found by the time we paid staff, insurance, my time spent on arranging it all, invoicing & the high maintenance customers found it really wasn't worth it.  Also the constant turnover of staff, a customer gets used to someone then they leave, plus all the usual problems with staff. Before we stopped it I even tried using a job agency they had no more success than me in finding reliable people, they didn't turn up or didn't even speak english!
Is this a service you provide? I currently have cleaners I use on an as & when required basis which is perfect for them as they have other part-time jobs too.
