Was the wifey not pulling her weight. Lol.
Just for the record I DONT take my wife to work.....the thought of it is giving me sweats and making me twitch!!on a serious note , I used to get my younger brother to help me on jobs but he was so slow and disinterested it actually made the job take longer
never mix family & business
Answer move you big bum. Lolon a serious note , I used to get my younger brother to help me on jobs but he was so slow and disinterested it actually made the job take longer
Funnily enough after I posted earlier a customer emailed for a job I quoted for in late Feb, then covid struck and only now hear back to say I got the job doing all electrics to convert into HMO. Downside can't do it until end of NovemberWell, almost everyone seems to be crazy busy. Perhaps a covid backlog.
You sure your wife and kids aren't happySame here was really quiet after we went into lockdown in March/April bad times financially and then picked up testing contract and builders/ plumbers/ kitchen fitters work and ever since been working 6 days a week long hours most days with a lot of emergency calls. Wife and kids not happy which is not good but they appreciate the good times and Appreciate my hard work so we are fortunate to live without money stress which was the case earlier this year. Gotta take the rough with the smooth
? true they might be double bluffing me here and then I’m fobbing them off with cash to keep them sweet when I’m reality they may be milking it. ?You sure your wife and kids aren't happy
Thanks for pointing this out @westward10 ??? true they might be double bluffing me here and then I’m fobbing them off with cash to keep them sweet when I’m reality they may be milking it. ?
I thought her shoe and clothes collection had gone up all I get is “I bought these ages ago you probably didn’t notice because your so busy” ???? true they might be double bluffing me here and then I’m fobbing them off with cash to keep them sweet when I’m reality they may be milking it. ?

I think it's because no one is going on holiday so they decide to do up the house instead. Everyone's gardens are looking pretty so they're turning to their houses now.
The only gardens and houses looking tardy are the tradesmans ?

@happyhippydad it seems like since the COVID started I can’t get caught up. Don’t get me wrong I’m not complaining but I’m getting old and it’s wearing me out. As you I have at least have 2 months booked up and the calls are still coming in. It looks like I’m going to have to hire a helperI went quiet over the initial covid period but since then I have been steadily getting busier and busier and now have 2 months of work booked in which is the most I have ever had. Bear in mind I am a one man band, purely domestic, 2 months is a long time. In fact it's too long as if a regular customer rings up they have to wait 2 months.
Just wondering if it's just me or if others are more busy than usual at the moment, same as usual or less?
Oh dear! I've always thought it meant unkempt. Foolish me, I wonder how many times I've used it over the years and had strange glances that I didn't comprehend .Tardy means late. Sorry
