Well, I have just had a gas bill, 😯 😯 electricity bill, 😯 , paid my dues to HMRC etc. 😥

There will also be many households getting the credit card statements for the Christmas splurge on top of all of the above.

Yeap ! up until last Tuesday we had been very busy then it all dried up,
this week has started a bit busier but I agree with others that its down probably to the end of month bills dropping on the mat after christmas and hey ! they can;t be walking around in smelly clothes for long ! ( Can They ) 😉

blame the And Cheap appliances hec Washing Machine Curry’s £149.99 Inc Delivery.
Seen It last Week Theses Days The Customer Is Calculating A Simple Fix Costing Around £60″
But They Say To Themselves its Three Years Old And What If It Goes Again In A While There Will Be Another £50 or £60 to Pay So They Are Going For The Cheap New Stuff Thinking There Having A Bargain.

Plus They Are Having The Feel Good Factor When Buying Something New .
The Trouble Is It Only Lasts Until They Have Unwrapped it 😮

❓ my appliance Distributors Don’t Supply These Cheap Machines Does Anyone Know Where I Can Buy Them Trade Hec Beco Or Anything I bet There More Profit In It Than a repair And You Don’t Get Dirty 😉

❓ Or When Is The Government Going To Stop Them Coming In Because The Tip Is Full Of Them.

And Hold On There’s Going To be An Election In May Business Could be Booming On The Repairs Reconditioning.
People May not Have The Money For These Insurance Policys To.
You Will Be 😆 all the Way To The Bank 🙂

The Torys Are Boom and Bust Although Anyone Self Imployed Does Ok I Did In The 1980 one

So Hold On There Things Are About To Change 😉

There Always A Market For Refurbs
Just Look For Large Construction Jobs People Rent Houses And The Landlord has To Supply A Washer Dryer And Cooker.

Take For Instance The Lg gas Pipeline It May be in Your Area All That Mud And All That Washing.

Landlords Are To Tight To Supply A New One So They Will go For A Refurb All Day With A guarantee.
Last Time I Checked It Was In The Southamton Area

There A few Bob To be made There 😉

Heh Clive, at least you have a good excuse, I’ll probably just have the usual one of… I forgot! Hope you get well soon though.

Back on the topic, I had a woman on today wanting an ISE10 who said, it has to wait till after the 18th as that’s when the credit card bill will be cleared from Christmas.

I doubt she’s the only one and, as usual, if they can live without it or it being busted they will.

Re: wheres the work gone?

up and down like a yo yo here, 🙁 🙂 one minute sitting waiting for a call the next minute phone does not stop ringing(although most of these are for free estimates 😕 )thought with the incentive of this scrappage scheme work would have picked up. 🙂

Re: wheres the work gone?

still no up turn in sight never known it so quiet for days on end like this. what I cant work out is why the abrupt stop? plodding along sort of average then………….well ….brakes on!

wilf 😕
