Re: quiet week
dont worry wilf… ive had a crap week too ( if that chears ya up any? ) lol.
I jumped out of bed this morning.. had a cooker hood to fit 10 mile away… made a cuppa tea had a ciggie… all woke up now ready to roll… shes just rang and cancelled.. i couldnt be bothered to ask why.. just said thanks for phoning to let me know.. ciao!Re: quiet week
Yes, I keep meeting people who say they want jobs done but that they can’t go ahead until they have the money. I suppose that’s better than getting me in then announcing that they are currently broke. 🙁

Ive had that 2 or 3 times in as many months… get me out.. diagnose the fault..give em a price.. only to be met by “well i have no money now but can u come back in 3 days time when i get paid”…. this is VERY cheeky, luckily they were very close jobs.
Re: quiet week
at least we have had good weather this week 😀 and with the budget just announced we should all be snowed under by saturday(wakes up from dreaming)thought i heard the phone ring,i think quite is an understatement,dead sounds more like it,never mind as we always say IT COULD BE WORSE 😕 😕 Ah well thats my little whinge done. 8) 8) 8)
Re: quiet week
glad its not just me ! customer just rang said go ahead with whirlpool grill element I looked at two weeks ago they’ve now got the money.
got several outstanding invoices with various local letting agents who are in turn waiting for payments (working for them for yeas so I know I’ll get paid eventually)
last phone call was “I’ll get back to you ” as soon as he found out I didnt do free calls.
next job……………….cut the grass!wilf
Re: quiet week
Ya know i have to laugh about this “free calls” scenario now as they getting more frequent, If someone rings me up now asking me to get in my vehicle…drive however miles it may be… spend up to a hour diagnosing a fault… then they say thanks but no thanks if its gonna be needing a expensive part… I am seriously thinking about saying ” yes no problem.. i will come..spend a hour at your house.. give u a free diagnosis at no cost.. but when im done… u follow me back to my house and do one hour of ironing for me for free” only problem is.. i will probably lose that customer for future calls because i can guarantee they will call me CHEEKY! 😉
Re: quiet week
Its has gone quiet Down This Way To.
The Thing IV Noticed is I usually Sell between 2 & 6 New Ones Every Month.
its even dead On The Inquiries People Are Just Buying new Ones On The Catalog seen it before In 1980 & Early 90 they got no cash so its Easy to pay £6 A month And Forget About It. rather than pay For a simple pump change Or A Set Of Carbons.
Also my Local Coop Are Selling New ind Washers For A Whopping £145.00
zan 120701w For A Whopping £200. argos £300.If it gets Any Worse I may open up A freemans Or Littlewoods Agancy At Least IL have The commission On a new sale I Bet you they Are very Bizzy 😉
Garn 01269 🙂 a totally indie survey
Re: quiet week
Been a bit quiet of late so there I was browsing the internet when before I knew it I had booked two cheap flights.
There isn’t so much as a blade of grass out of place in the garden so I’m off.
Might as well be sitting on a beach for a week with my diary and mobile and hopefully come back to some work.
