LOL love it. Can't help it if she stuffs up !!!
LOL love it. Can't help it if she stuffs up !!!
That is Funny , But I do feel for the poor bloke when he turns up and mows on Tuesday
+1 to that............
But if you aint ''STIHL'' you aint real....
haha that's awesome cadase!
The footy starts tonight! Woo hoo! Can't wait to kick back on the lounge with a beer watching 110kg blokes belt each other.
I did a farmlet homestead lawns of about 1ha this morning. Just doing 2 cuts while the owners are away for medical treatment.
Absolutely beautiful place. Extensive garden beds all mulched up and barely a weed in sight. Edges were all poisoned. Large ponds with lilies over them. All the lawns were real lawn grass which is a rarity for me.
Such a pleasure to work in a place like that. I'd almost do it for free.
They have a farmer's market morning there tomorrow so I left a handful of my cards in the shed.
A bit grumpy I forgot my camera.
Back to reality, off to do 3 acres of overgrown lovegrass this arvo.
THANKS CADASE I JUST LOST A CUSTOMER!!!!!!!!!!!
nah just kidding
Independent and i know it
thats funny from a different point of view
she wasnt happy with the LEVEL of service, and you (i know its not yours any more lol) but you say $5 more to do the better job she wants and she wont pay for the extra service she wants.
yep, shes a pita AND a scab. (lawnie lingo) lol
i been picking up new customers like crazy, if i dont go to 3 weeks soon i mighthave to let some more go.
hmmm WHICH ones, thats the question lol
but still, a funny story cadase !!!
cheers
picked up 2 new ones today (one where the old contractor hasnt been for 5 weeks, and wont return their calls - have to see what thats about when i get there tuesday)
and maybe another where theres 2 together, both with big hedges too, one with a tiny lawn, the other medium sized.
if i dont go to 3 weeks soon, i'll have to give a few more the shove. (trade up like stripes says)
they reckon were gonna have a wet autumn, be nice, considering how late summer started for me this year.
be nice to keep all the ones i got over winter, picking up a FEW more, then give the worst the flick as next summer rolls on
been a hard slog this last week, looking forward to the weekend "off" - but now i been told i gotta mow our own acreage (dang, its ONLY 2 foot high, whats she complaining about?)
You should get a beer money bob to do your lawns and relax... lol
And while your at it... You should consider using the beer money bob to do all your pita's that you will trade in anyways... at least this way you will be getting passive income and keeping bob busy so he is unable to quote ever again to potential high paying clients
Simmo.
i LIKE it simmo !!!!
tell bob "this one you charge $25 for the hours work" then thats 2 new clients he cant take on while hes doing that !!
might be easier to sell bob the customers for 2 cuts. i get $50, he gets a pita to keep him busy.
thats worth thinking about when im sober and all, lol
on a sadder note, i confirmed today that one of the local WEEKLY papers i advertise in HAS been having troubles with their distribution - my suburb hasnt been getting them for 7 or 8 MONTHS and the suburb i like best to work in hasnt got them in some streets for 3 or 4 WEEKS now that i know of..
its the one i pay $60 a week to be in -$3000 a year is a lot of dough to me
thinking about cancelling it altogether now, and just staying in the monthly one (that only goes to my "best area")
IT only costs $40 per monthly paper, and maybe im getting most of my work out of it anyway
and prolly if i wasnt half arsed and ASKED every time where they got my name i might have worked this out sooner - damn me.
have to get signs done for my trailer now, and just do leaflets to neighbours and the one monthly - to concentrate the run into my best suburb (again thanks stripes for the tips)
cheers guys
have a good weekend
If the old guy hasnt returned calls could be a PITA. I have one at the moment where I have stopped returning calls because they couldnt be bothered returning my calls when they owed me money, now they expect me to just jump when they want me. Sorry but it doesnt work that way.
at the same time, this is the story i hear most when takig new clirents that have HAD a contractor
he wont return my calls
he says hes gone out of business
he has moved to another area
etc
still, worth a look, i quoted high figs on the phone to clean it up then cheaper after that IF they do booked-in-regular.
first time they stiff me is the last.
no money no mow !!
but cheers
Listening to my daughters (11 and 9) belt out a concert, they have dragged out Timmy's microphone and amp and have just performed the following playlist
Run to Paradise
Summer of 60
My Sharona
Wish you Were Here
Walkin' by Myself
Jessie's Girl
LOL...it warms the heart of my cockles that since their Daddy joined a cover band this place has become a Bieber Free Zone now that they have seen actual music performed.
~ Joanne ~
get with the picture, Bieber is a washed out yesterdays hero
It's all One Direction now.... well at least this week.
my daughter was in tears the other morning, trying to get tickets to one of their concerts. Ticketek crashed after 3 minutes
