bad start to the year

[jose]

Anybody else having one?

 

1st job turned into a right pig. Poplar stump which i did about 5 yrs ago to come down. It was easy twice the size i rememberd!

 

13 hr day in the bad weather with a touchy customer!

Only saving grace a neighbour took a truck load of logs saving us coming back the next day and actually costing us money!

 

2 days later i come home to find someone screw drivered the drivers lock to try and nick my little diahatsu fourtrack. only failed as the battery was flat as i havnt used it for quite a while.

 

Typical as i am just getting it ready to sell and now got to get a new lock fitted and it damaged the lovely paint work.

 

All this in my first week back!

 

and i had a good feeling about this year too.

Thats bad, was the 4 track parked in front of your house on the high street?

I feel for you mate as I've just written of my L200 and it's going to cost me to upgrade to a new one. At least you've got your health we can work and buy any thing else chin up and dont let it get you down

I'll be the third if you like, then we can put it to bed and get on with the year! Some bums stole my chipper on Tuesday, which was pretty rubbish. As already mentioned, at least we've got our health and nobody got hurt!

I'm well known to those who know me as a bit of a grumpy git, but I don't think I'm being grumpy or unfair now.

 

Stop moaning, man up!

 

I haven't seen the stump but I guess it did not double in size, really. So you went to do a job based on a 5 year stored memory? Sounds a bit daft to me, wake up, shake off the holiday hangover!

 

The only person to blame for expecting a stump half the size it was was you surely?

 

 

 

As far as your fourtrack, now that is pretty unfriendly but...

Some scrote decided to knick it and failed!

It's gonna cost you what? £15 quid for a replacement? That's not great but come on man, put things in perspective!

sorry to hear that mate

Handy hint,

"Avoid bad starts to the year by taking the first week off on holiday"

(Also works for bad weeks, taking Monday off)
