well done mate, i read you have become a dad on another thread, but you dererve one all to yourself. i hope your wife is well and little' skye' is doing well. An amazing time, enjoy it mate:001_smile:

ha ha, i am 6 foot and 12 stone, i cant breath in the smalls:blush:

stretch airs all the way, no question. i have had my pair(typec)for 3years, will last another couple no bother, the zip goes quick but that is all. i ordered a new pair from jonesie just because they are a good price and i will hide away. these new ones are even better made than the ones i have already. if you are a small, then you can have these ones as i am sending them back for mediums

tracked mulcher:001_rolleyes:pics man pics:001_smile:

i hear you there dave, i work very local and dont even think about volume of timber or chip, i remember when i used to take stuff away with a big trailer on a jeep. if when you made a boo boo in guessing the volume it was a nightmare.

tough times matt, you have made the first step, sharing problems. when the chips are down it is easy to focus on the bad things. what i do is write stuff down, put it into black and white. make a list of all the stuff you have and put a value to it. then write another list of what you are owed. it is always buttons compared to what you have. take a day off and do some house keeping, not tidy out a cupboard but make a list of all the things that need doind, put them in order of most important. make a plan of how you are going to fix them, if its owed money, chase them up, if its fixing chippers then call for parts, see if you can get 30 days payment with them, that sorts out your cash flow. if you are going to struggle call up you the folk you owe money, be it mortgage or finance, they would much rather take a reduction in payment than have the hassle of debt collecting. as far as the girlfriend is concerned you are on your own there mate, but if you are like me in any way, when work life is sweet so is home life. talk about it with her. my reason for seeking help was because i spoke to the ones i loved too like dirt and painted on a smile for the folk i didnt care about. its never too late for help, hypno worked for me, and has helped many folk i know. but dont be scared to ask, i would spend hours looking through google for help and advice on how to sort out my crazy brain and thoughts, 60 quid to a profesional sorted it out in 90mins.

so much easier lifting aswell, good pic

68k i just checked:001_smile:

what is the vat thresh hold? it used to be 45k i think, is it possible to survive running a van, chipper and employ one person making under 45k. what is your day rate?it must be under 200quid if you are working 5 days

i have a friend whos wee boy has bad eyesight, he is only 3 and has always trashed glasses, they now buy him supercool bendy ones and the optician fits the lenses, i think they are designed for swimmers

the tree is alive and that is the main thing and not causing any harm, wether or not people think it looks ok, isnt important. imo

they probably thought it was a cherry tree dave

wow,wow,wow. i want one:001_cool:

that must have been some hiab, they look big trees. awesomo mike

i am not sure, it just said ropeguide 07 on the pack, and it is at work sorry

i have just recieved my ropeguide from jonesie, looks great, cant wait to try it next week, my life is so much easier changing onto vt and hitch climber, now its going to be even better

they are worse bob:scared1:that looks sore dean, good job for sharing.

waking up in the morning and see the sun shining, seeing my family all snoozing so i dont feel bad sneaking out early too walk the dogs, my mog, my tractor. a big pile of cash, a full bank balance, gorgious women, (especially my wife). a cooked breakfast, pancakes, seeing i have over 200 unread posts on here.just a few of the things that make me happy:001_cool:

not at all dave, very interesting. looks great, can you explain further please:001_smile:

what are they dave?

holly molly, what can you say, i wonder why it all of a sudden cuts to the tree on its side? maybe because they all had to run like hell very quickly.

good stuff, hope the job goes well. dont forget the pics for us:001_smile:

they do make a difference:001_smile:

pm garth mcgarth, he has a mog, chipper and does loads of jobs like that i think geoff, i think he is around you neck of the woods. he hasnt been to well lately so not been posting much. but worth a call

lol, short ass:001_tongue:
