    Sorry in advance to any kiwi ' on here. But having being in new zealand for only 4 days I must say they must be the worst drivers I have come across. 2 instances of drivers on my side of the road, where if I hadn't slammed on the brakes we would have run into each other.cant count the number of cars or even pedestrians that have just pulled out or stepped into the road.

    Wow, I like Kiwi's, the're kinda cute and fluffy, often end up as road kill not being aware of traffic, like our Kangaroos I suppose.However I didn't know they actually drive cars?

    Something that makes me grumpy is when:

    You forget fuel (At home)
    You forget some imperative tools (at home)
    Then forget your mowing in progress sign at the job which is 35 minutes away.

    This day happened last Tuesday GRRRr

    I left my road cones at a job (I think) 3wks ago and am due back there today. I wonder if they will be still there. Bit annoying.

    Quoted a place today,probably worth 3 mill. Lawns and hedges haven't been touched for about 4-5 months I'm guessing and they thought 210 bucks was to much.
    Hahahahaha I should be used to this **** by now.

    Quoted a Toorak hedge for 2k, hadn't been done for 18 months, He then told me 1800 was the previous price. I wasn't going to drop my price. Just price shopping.

    He rang me back on that 2k hedge and booked the job, nothing to be grumpy about now. One of the most difficult I have done, for that sort of money though.

    Haha! Last place I left them is not always where they seem to end up being found. Eventually found them buried at the back of a kitchen bench which is definitely not where 'I' left them :-)

    Just enough time to spare to go to the dump but no jobs done.
