Non taken. Just can't understand why Clarabelle's other half doesn't pay her for the work she does and why they don't expand the business together instead of working against each other.....sorry but that sounds like a recipe for disaster in one way or another

My partner’s not that bad.   I hadn’t asked for any payment as I was gaining experience and as we don’t live together he couldn’t afford to pay me.  I thought the best way forward was to set out on my own but didn’t have much luck with the canvassing and put that down to being female.  From what you all said I realise now that bungalows are not the best starting point and without a wfp I was limiting myself.  Having said that, after the supportive comments I received from you last week I did some more canvassing and got my first call – a bungalow!!

My partner is also now helping me put together a wfp system as cheap as possible so that I can canvass for houses as well and not limit myself and over time will upgrade as I get more work.  In the meantime he is helping me canvass – what more could I ask for.

PS:  Sorry about the cheeky comment about any spare equipment.  A girl’s got to try it on sometime.
