    this is actually mixed motions and probably makes me more sad than happy but i got a letter today from a long term client her husband has retired so he will be doing the lawns now which is sad because it was a good lawn situated on the way from one lot of lawns to another now the happy part was she owed me $90 for the last 2 mows so she included a cheque for these but rounded it up to $200 hopefully the husband will get sick doing the lawn .
    Anything Ian says may or may not be garbage, it may also be his own opinion or it may not be his opinion at all, it may just be something he felt like stating anyone following his advice does so at their own risk and may be doing something Ian would actually advise against.
    And if you don't like what Ian has to say use the ignore function if you don't know how ask i will gladly tell you

    I have being doing a place for the last 5 years or so. Where every 6 months or so the husband rings me and says I have heaps of time so I dont want you to mow anymore. 3 or 4 weeks later the wife rings and says can you fit us in as a regular again. I think this has happened 6 times now. So hang in there it could come back.

    lol, i had one like that, i put his price up by $5 (45 to 50) - been doing it for 12 months slightly underpriced (for me) and said i had to put it up

    he carried on and on, but i stuck to my guns, he said hed hace to cancel the regular appointment id automatically set up for the next time, and do it himself for a while to save money then get me in once in a while.

    he TEXTED the week before the cancelled appointment and asked me to mow on that day, and since i havent had a complaint i just keep booking him in for 4 weeks, and havent heard back again about the saving money bit, his wife just comes to the door, smiles and gives me the $50

    .

    Brilliant treatment and care from the poor overworked souls at the Toowoomba Base Hospital while I was in today.

    They had some great lyrics
    'my wife run off to the woman's shelter, she din't understand me, or why i had to belt her, my daughter carries candles for the festival of light, the fridge is full of beer so i'm alright'
    or
    'my little brothers boppin' to the summertime blues, flying too high on aeroplane glue'
    or
    just about every word in 'diamantina drover' and 'Gladstone pier'

    Nah didn't like them
