    Lol....bet he was a tad embarrassed. Bloody trampolines I hate them. I wont move them and charge extra for jobs that have them. Thankfully I have got rid of those I had.

    ppl that tell you you haven't cut the grass short enough, then proceed to tell you they don't want it cut next fortnight, because it wont have grown enough. Does my head in.

    I thought spring and xmas was when the pitas came out of the woodwork asking for same day service. I got a call on Sunday asking for lawn and garden work and asked if I could do it that day and seemed put out when I said no (I was working doing one of my schools). Told her Wednesday was the earliest because of Anzac Day. Apparently that wasn't good enough, I wonder how she went.

    You charged for a mow, not scalp.
    There will be a real cost to you if the neighbors see you scalp a lawn and believe that's the quality of your 'mow'

    Bought some eucylptus oil yesterday. No country of manufacture on it so I got curious and sent the company (australian company) an email. Where does your eucylptus oil come from? The answer.

    A sustainable farm in China.

    Faaaaaaarrrrk me. What has become of this country that we are importing Eucylptus oil to Australia. How is it sustainable to grow **** over there and ship it over here when it's already right under our noses.
