I'm hearing you bluey i got caught out lastweek quoting a job,
I didn't walk over it as i were in a hurry and it looked like an easy job from the road lol. Same thing matted kikuya over knee height..done me balls on it but do have it as a regular now so it will be kept ****en short and will try recoup my dud quote
got the grumps when yahoo decided to change to format and flexibility of their calendar the other day - now I don't have all the options I want and have to fiddle around to get it to print out in a font size that I can read - looking for other calendar software now - maybe using Microsoft Outlook? Lots of work tom transfer everything across but have the spare time to do so with the slow down of work at present, but "not happy, Jan!"

Christine - have you had a look at Lightning? It's the calendar add-on for Thunderbird. It gives a few options on printing, scheduling & so on. I've been using it for a while, now, with no real problems.

Got an email from a client yesterday. She is a $45 lawn on 3 weekly atm. She has front, side and rear lawn with lots of edging. Has a fairly large area out behind this that she wants slashed every 3rd visit. I charge her $45 for the lawn and it takes us about 30 mins to do it give or take. When I do the back section it takes around 50 mins depending on the growth so I charge her $75 for that slash and drop plus the lawn. She has been with me about 18 months.
Anyway she emails me and says that another contractor had given her a quote to do her lawns for $33 and the back for an extra $10. Wanted to know if I would match it. I said no and explained to her how I priced her lawn and all about lawn grubs. Gave her the option to stay with me or jump ship to SS Lawn Grub. Nothing back yet. I am seething that this worm has done this and I am wondering if it is the VIP I see who has a couple of jobs in the area. I have asked my client who it is. If I find out it is bloody war. Two can play that game.
Cheers

When she calls you again wanting you to come back cause this wanker does a $33 dollar job tell her you only get one chance with the best. I quoted a hedge that was a strata job, for $100 then I thought I was a bit cheap, I didn't get the job and asked the manager why, he told me a guy quoted $50 you just can't compete with these clowns. Anyway I went past this job after it had been done and what a joke I think it was done with a whipper snipper and not even cleaned up properly. I don't think I could of done such a bad job even if tried lawn grubs is dead right I hope they don't know about this forum no one should help em fk em
I wouldn't worry about it Bluey it's her loss and i"m guessing she will try get you back there in another month lol. Are you sure she's not just bull****ting you about the quote? to see if she can get you down... i reckon you may have called her bluff if she hasnt replied
lol
These b@$t@rd$ should be hung !!! No trial, No jury just hung from the neck until they are dead. All these tossers do is stuff it up for guys like us who are serious and are here for the long haul. Most of them only last 6 - 12 months then end up stacking shelves in Coles or Woolies because they didn't make any money out of it.
FAGS !!!!! (they don't censor that word yet)

what f-----g pissed me off over the top today not work related but schools and the bullying that takes place , and the ignorance of the schools to try and hide it ....
I have recently started using googles gmail calendar. I am suprised at how powerful a tool for sheduling it can be. Just enough features, very easy to use. I wish I had tried it before I wasted my money on that gopher rubbish which just sits in some hidden folder somewhere on my hard drive doing nothing.
