Hi Tommy! the reason she changed package was because we had twin baby girls so she changed it to give her the option of going in the evenings when I got home from work, which you couldnt do on the cheaper package.

Hi all thought Id give you the heads up so you dont get caught out like me. My partner decided to join Fitness first December 2009 and signed for a year as we where told that you could cancel it if our situation changed. Well after 2 months Bird had only used it once so we went to cancel it and they would nt let us and said that it was a 1 year contract and that was that so bird went a couple of times then in july changed package to allow her to go up in the evening which she never did. Earlier this month the year was up so she canceled the membersip but today we have had a phone call to say that because she changed her membership it was a new contract that would have to run for a year before she can cancel it which is the opposite to what she was told at the time. If you WERE A MEMBER you ll know what a bunch they are so post abit on here and let others that might be thinking of joining what they might be in for.

Worked for a couple doing bits and pieces in their garden for about 5 years on and off. I'd give them a price but when I got there it would take them 20 minutes to clear the drive, and each thing I did they would have a chat about between them and then change their minds and want a bit more taken off or whatever. This got my goat up so the last time I worked for them I did it all on an hourly rate. When I got there and saw that the drive was clear gates open and they'd made a list and had drawn diagrams I laughed my arse off. I worked there all day and never got a cup of tea as per normal when working for them (WHAT A DIFFERENCE A DAY RATE MAKES ) urm sounds abit like a song:001_rolleyes:

Stop drinking cheap port before I go out with the lads and get some new chat up lines, "You dont sweat much for a fat bird" or "have you got 2 minutes because I want to see if I can teach a old dog new tricks", just add to the head ache I wake up to in the morning

Mine was abit like that with the bigger bar so I drilled the oil hole out on the side of the bar and it seemed to help.

I was thinking you should get another gang on the GO GO when I saw your truck up for sale and then saw your add. I thought you'd get your arm ripped off at the price your asking, so it would make more sense to get it earning and give your self time to settle in with the new truck.my Iveco was a pain for the first couple of years with bits breaking. One tip for you if you want it is to make sure you've got the code for the key fob if you loose that it will cost you about £1000 and the truck will be off the road for about 2 weeks. Hope you didnt mind the PM best of luck in the new year Pat

(1) Hello and welcome (2) chill out and wind down B4 you blow a gasket. (3)I think what you should do is knock on the door of the property in question and ask who did the work? and are they happy with the service they received ?. (4) ring the company up and tell them that you ve just done a RFS course and your not yet employed, but you would like them to meet you on site as the tree in question does'nt meet your standards! and your sure that you could make a far better job as your a professional. (5) let me know how you get on. I admire your passion and wish you the very best of luck ( you never know they might give you a job )

Likewise mate! Its not mine I should add but belongs to a mate that comes in now and then to grab up the timber if its to good to just log.

Yeah it was Cedar. It had a good lean so I took the heel off and a small gob out and came in from the back, it went over a treat. Took 3 lorry loads to clear the butt 6 truck loads of chip and saw dust and 11 loads of logs, Wich worked out about 40 tons in total The photos dont do the size of this brute any justice.

I ve got my overheads down to the bear minimum, and Im going to just see what the next 12 months throws at me, everyone down here that I know is doing the same. Im not sure how the younge lads that are thinking of starting up this year are going to fair, but I as sure as hell wouldnt want to be fronting the money for them.

An old Austin 10 we had that was converted after the war for agricultural use, it had a reduction gearbox dumper tyres and a hand tip back. The other monster was an Aec Matador with a Harvey frost recovery crane.
