I promise you I try very hard not to rattle peoples cages (although sometimes i just blurt things out). I try to stick to the issues.

In my own way I do try to help people, but in reality not once have i succeeded on here. I try to help people earn more money but mostly get into a row about telling people how to run their lives. Examples?
You. Bigger tank
Other Matt and Jeff1. Buy and use a van
Squeaky. Self belief
Mike Boxal. Develop better income streams.
Georgesystems. give a seperate cash figure
Alex. Partner the xls oversees

Many of these as arguments are unwinnable anyway.

Other Matt and Jeff1. Buy and use a van


i have a van now, its a berlingo multispace

i also have a 400 L tank, its still in my garden, ordered when i knew i had my hernia ( a few weeks before i went to orlando/disney ) its been sat in the garden for allmost 3 months, i will get it installed over the christmas break

not sure on the hose from the van though, i will get a hose / reel and the like, but i still think my cart will be faster fro my round, BUT im going to give it a fair go, 1 turnaround with the cart and then 1 with the reel

who knows, getting a hose reel could become a " turning point "

discount, you are fantastic.  ;D

Turning points were finding wc forums. My profitability increased by half or more within 6 months of doing this.
2nd was inheriting money and using it to buy van and wfp gear. Invested rest towards 1st house. So having something to work for and investing in kit that allows me to meet commitments, quite easily was a milestone.
The 3rd is a turning point in progress really. Writing risk assessments and being more safety conscious is what i'm doing with some of my work at the moment.
Threads like the guttervac, sl2 etc are making me look into this type of market. With the kit in place i will then concentrate investing on the marketing side. Website, quality staionary etc.

That part was okay. It's my attempts to put a little bit back that have failed.


i will only quote a little bit as you mention your going to delete it ;)

i believe you have tried to help others, your electric reel idea, i know it works well for you, it was the rather OTT you went about it that was funny, it was as if you had the whole board doing a drum role

fair play for trying though, i still wonder if some1 a little more humble had mentioned it, people who are known to DIY stuff, Jeff B or even myself, i wonder what the outcome would have been, would a few more have given it a go ? ? ? ?

I would say the big turning point for most people it when their income is enough each week to pay the bills. It may not sound like a big turning point but it sure feels good.

Turning Points:-

1. 2004 Joining and using this forum (thanks guys)
2. 2005 WFP (trolley)
3. 2006 Van mounted system

And not a turning point, but a gradual process - pricing correctly.
It's a game of three halves!

Leaving my IT job back in December 2005 with only 1 months money to live off of, and 0 customers... That made me canvass, canvass, canvass.

When I look back I think that maybe it was a silly thing to do - But would I be where I am now if I hadn't taken the risk? Probably not, so I'm glad I did take the risk :)
