Start with the smallest one, fell and count the rings, work up in size until you fell one with 42 rings and then grind that one out quickly.

At least you didnt get the trots, no-one likes to get saddled with that.

Deal with it that way you would any enquiry. If you want the work tell them the price, if you don't want to do it tell them that. If you don't want enquiries on a Sunday evening turn your phone off.
