    Plus if its a real estate agent, time and stamp to invoice (unless you email), than most real estates take for ever to pay, cost of any fees to your bank.

    i emailed the quote
    as for payment i send invoices to this estate agent pretty much every week anyway so just another one in the envelope,actual payment after i post the invoice is usually be anything between 1 day and 4 weeks depending when they get the invoice in regards to rental payment coming in. i don't run my business in a way that I'm relying on payments by a certain day and factor their payment times into my pricing
    Anything Ian says may or may not be garbage, it may also be his own opinion or it may not be his opinion at all, it may just be something he felt like stating anyone following his advice does so at their own risk and may be doing something Ian would actually advise against.
    And if you don't like what Ian has to say use the ignore function if you don't know how ask i will gladly tell you

    my son tells me that when you approach a girl and she looks at you and says i have a boyfriend the correct response is to look at her and say i have a maths exam when she looks at you like you're stupid and says what? you reply i thought we were doing a list of things you can cheat on

    Had a customer txt me with an urgent request today. Terrified of birds and there is a pair nesting in my roller door. Can you come and remove them?

    Got there about 5.30 tonight and looking down the inner drum there is evidence of birds (they have built a nest there before) but looks like they changed their minds this time thankfully. The inner drum spins as the door goes up and down so I could think of better places to build a nest.

    Some of these could apply to us - the rest are just funny.

    Doing a body corp yesterday, when one of the residents who I have occasionaly done the lawn for comes out and asks me to do it again. Last time I did it took me over 2 months to get paid, after they promised to deposit in my bank account on several occasions
    Him - can you do my lawn
    Me - Me sure, but its gone up by $10.00
    Him - Thats ok
    Me - And I want to be paid first
    Him - Dont have cash can you give me your bank account details
    Me - I just laugh and walk off, dont think he saw the funny side

    I was down in Canberra last week visiting friends, we took the kids to questacon for the day, when we returned to our car the rear passenger window had been smashed.

    I thought we had been robbed but couldn't believe my luck to find my ipad was still wedged in between the front seat and console and my camera was still in the glove box.I thought it must of been an accident then my wife pointed out the laptop bag was missing from the back seat.

    Inside the laptop bag was an assortment of children's coloring in books and pencils
