Got a few more this week and then I reckon that's it till the New Year. Pmon last years sales but still too warm for my liking

 

My thoughts exactly it is too warm, and where we are it looks to get warmer with heavy rain a gusty wind! The weather I hate most!

 

We've still been consistently delivering everyday without being too over rub, got orders on Xmas eve and every day from the 27th running up to new years day.

All I want is a load of frosty and preferably snowy weather!!

Picking up nicely after all Christmas spent building the new kiln. Finally up and running doing 16 cube in 4 days currently (to below 20% down from 30%ish)

Delivered 6 1/2 cube in 2 loads since 6pm tonight. Another 6 to go out tomorrow. 6 booked in for the end of next week already too. Not even advertising properly yet either!

Both really.

 

What do you charge your customers and what is it a trade. Thanks

 

 

 

£90 in 1m3 bags to customers but I couldn't tell you firm trade price for a wagon load but I'd imagine it'd be in the region of £75 a cube if it was in a tipper wagon. The time spent bagging and loading a curtain sider wouldn't be worth it at trade.
