What did you do on Tue, Wed, Thurs and today then .

Yep plenty on here , strangely the phone is quiet but the diary isnt .

Like you kop , I am trying to scale work down, but it doesnt seem to be happening.

 

[king of pipes]

Ha ha nice one town , cant seem to get on top of jobs at the minute booked up till september i know i should not complain but all work and no play starting to get a bit much now , off on a week holiday thursday to recharge the batteries so work can wait what you having cheers kop

 

[townfanjon]

This time last year I was absolutely mowed out , far far too buzy , I ended up poorly at the end of August , the whole of September and a lot of October, like most blokes I thought I was indestructible.

I had a wake up call , I was determined it wouldnt happen again .
So as you know the problem is the work / life balance. Bloody impossible, you dont like saying no , but know you should. Book your week up and then all the emergency work comes in and the week goes t@ts up lol , then that impacts the next week and the week after that . Great !!!

Pass me the Jack Daniels lol

serviced a boiler

[Harvest Fields]

To be honest I was quiet today after the incident with the shower tray yesterday. But as a whole there are absolutely loads of us that want to scale down but in reality it is really hard to do.

 

[Old Account]

I think as long as I'm young and willing to work , ill and won't slow down. It will come in the age anyway or even with health problems.

Been busy for the last weeks " 7 days a week and don't moan.

 

[moonlight]

Quiet day yesterday 2 boiler services, a new cold water inlet valve, two tap repairs and a ball valve in the roof space.
Mines a glass of Sauvignon Blanc. Thanks

[Harvest Fields]

I do like a good bit of Pork... There's a joke in there somewhere

 

[Meady]

It's been a very busy week for me this week, I first fixed 1 house, 6 flats and done the water mains from the riser cupboards to the 6 flats.

 

[SimonG]

What can I say, chicken it was

 

[SimonG]

Beef in a fortnight. Nice topside joint cooked slow wrapped in foil with some red wine over it.

York this weekend. Few beers, bit shopping, few beers, bit food, few beers and a few beers in between. You get the drift

Been a nice week to be honest. As you all know I'm closing up the business. Started at 9am today and finished at 2pm. Sorted out things for the skip and things to sell Ignored all the calls this evening and relaxed 100% content I've made the right choice.

I'm getting my life back and am very happy!
