  3. Just before I started college I did a month at aa insurance selling insurance,I used to smoke b4 work. Would give everybody discount.. So the moral is its dangerous in an office so a defo no no with labour intense work,whatever trade.
  4. buying outright , no loans , just savings..... will catch up with accountant next month .. i thoguth if i owned it personaly , then if my work load ever went tis up in say few years or more the yard didnt belong to business so makes things easier if i ever 'gave up' self employed yet still had the yard for personal use. i know il pay tax on it if i rent it off business, as its another income to declare on self assesment.. these ***** at the top do it but on mega scale cheers , few notes taken in - got loads to do this year at the place.
  5. im in process of buying a yard i just moved into , got a few months to sort it out ready to take over it. im buying it for myself privatly outside my business. Now stupid question is , can i charge my business rent to use my private owned yard ? hope it makes sense,
  6. I do love antidrugs rants.. At work no,at play maybe. But to say alcoholics can sober up and be ok is total poppy cock . And all users are same? So that inc alcohol then? Its a drug. Now im not into getting smashed at work nor others too,but to tar a certain section of sociaty with the same brush is wrong. There are good drugs and bad drugs ,the good are alongside alcohol but all in moderation.
  7. I ,Paul's my lucky neighbour as he could have moved in nextdoor to a right tool but im ok haha Scotlands probs a bit far. 1hrs drive to job max

Just looking to get myself out there a little more with other tree workers or landscapers up in the northeast of england, i already have my own workload ticking me over but on top of that i also sub out to a handfull of other guys who are just climbers and have no heavy kit. im looking to get some extra work to help towards my future curcumstances beyound my control so its head down , work hard and see what the rest of the year brings. i currently run a transit dc tipper with 10ft chip box on rear (van is sign written in my name thou) good 2006 timberwolf 125 with new engine, always sharp and full of juice myself as a groundworker with all tools needed to complete a job. 2 years expierence working for myself. i can get rid of timber as part of the perks as i have a yard , wood chip is the subcontrators responsibility unless i can help out which at time i can. hold 30/31/38/39/ua1 - fully insured polite . on time . love getting stuck in , learning other tricks of the trade , listening (important) and tidying up (bit ocd) my minimal daily rate is £200 round the doors but i do travel up past anlwick , along yee olde a69 way past hexham and down towards darlo so little extra to cover diesel is needed if traveling futher afield if you need a worker and kit , let me know , i can only try and test the water. i would also realy would like to help out on large dismantles as a groundworker , to see how things 'roll' so to speak , so if anybody needs an extra pair of hands let me know , rate adjusted obvoiusly if you just need myself
