    You know what really makes me grumpy. Flax. If there is one bit of dried flax in a yard it will somehow get caught in the whipper snipper as will hay band.

    They should make whipper snip cord out of flax, it's tough stuff.

    The best way to tidy up flax is some petrol and a match.

Oh well, got the grass done today, the rest can wait till next week.

    I wouldn't stress too much mate. He is not going to be a client of yours much longer anyway.

    No stress. Around here if my client says theyre putting the house on the market I know I'll still be mowing it in 12 mths. One house has been for sale for three years.

    Yes agree. If parking is a premium when I do the quote I often dont worry about it. Turns into too much of a hassle and stuffs up your day. If you do take them on add a lot extra and tell them why
