Hey,

wondering anyone local to the BD16 postcode selling any logs? My local supplier has retired/f**ked it off with the current restrictions on business.

I’d be after seasoned/ semi seasoned soft wood. I can either pick up or get delivered. Ideally be able to supply me a full transit load every month. Any one serious message me at 07908 084007.

Thanks,

tom

I've used the gerber suspension cheap and cheerful, think it got for around £40. It's nothing special but it gets job done.

I think the rules or restrictions have been made less onerous and you are allowed to do the minimum to keep the business going.. But if you are not doing invoiceable work who is going to know.. There are also quite a few business groups lobbying government to sort some help for directors who pay themselves via dividends.. So fingers crossed. 

Yeh your right, I’m allowed to do things to keep the business running or as we are calling it now ‘hibantion’. Stuff like process wages, reply to emails, talk to clients, etc. I’m not an expert in it, just what’s been fed from office.

I do hope they do something about the divadince but I don’t think they will sadly.

We were contacted on 1st April, as promised, by the local council in respect of the grant to rateable business. It took only a few minutes to fill in the on line application and the money should be on  its way to our account.
£10k does seem a lot of dosh, but it is a one off grant (gift, as it does not need repaying). It will go along way towards paying the business overheads of rent, insurance, utilities etc for 3 or 4 months. 
But we are a Ltd Company and there is no provision for company directors in the current aid package, unlike the 80% income that that the self employed have.
If I was running as a "sole trader" rather than a Ltd Company I would have the £10k to keep the business afloat AND a wage based on the average of 3 years profits.
As it stands we will be living off our savings.
One bonus though, living frugally for two weeks has let me lose 1/2 stone!!
 

I used to tow with a Vauxhall Insignia, cheap tax and handles well. I'm not to sure what they go for these days but wouldn't imgine it is much.

Birch will do that at this time of year. I’d be sticking my head beneath it and drinking it if I were you, very refreshing.

Cheers Steve, will this heal on its own? :)

Had a limb cut of a tree that was damaged and is now leaking. Will this heal up on it's own or should i be worried? ? It could be sap but it is very water and drips alot off tree, attempting to uplaod video but can't seem to get it to work.

Any replies appraciated, thank you in advance.
