    this is exactley what i am doing, i am self employed at weekends, and employed through the week. i would love to be self employed and im really trying to make ago of it. thought of a bank loan, but ive taken the route of work hard, save hard and buy what i need not what i want. I have had a steady flow of weekend work, which is helping me pay off bills, etc quicker and once my tax etc is paid and when they are all gone with a clean slate behind me, i will then save for be it a saw, climbing rope, truck, harness etc, and im finding it more fun this way as the gear i already have bought and saved for gives you a sense of pride and the desire to achieve the goals you want and i own my gear, not the bank man. And i certainly know it will not happen over night!

    well the police have finally came round and took the rifle i found walking the mut this morning... they weren't impressed as it could have been in the hands of kids quite easily, but when i reported it, just incase lost or stolen etc i felt like a criminal! had to say where i was, why i was there, anyone with me, where i found it, where i was going, home address, phone numbers, etc etc!!!!

    evening all.. As im sure with all of us, we do a good job for the private customer, no matter how big or small. They are amazed, impressed etc etc... just out of interest what is the biggest or best ''tip'' you have got off a customer. To me and my work mate { alex_m+} we got £25 EACH and lots of tea with work again in the future today. we have got the odd £5 here and there and the odd £10, but that was a new unexpected tip today... such nice people we worked for which and that amount of money as in any tip, was totally unexpected!

    must admitt i once nearly made a simple mistake, been in arb since 2000, wasnt thinking, was just on autopilot as it where, the stihl combi can had the fuel nozzel broken and a new oil nozzel was on as a temp solution for the day and the oil nearly went the fuel tank and fuel in the oil tank on the saw... was just a simple nearly stupid mistake....
