Busiest in 4 years.. Recession over.. official

My vivaro is nearly 10 years old with 160k and I've not serviced it for 6 years! Honest! Looking at treating myself to the new transit early next year
why would you want to change to the new transit?????
like for like the ford is so more expensive
if you want to up your image i would think spend extra money on a web site or similar.
]i have a transit 2006 that was voted european van of year but it is like a morrocan sardine can!!
the build quality of the nissan/vauxhall.renault is far greter than a transit.

own a transit and a nissan/renault/vauxhall and you will know the difference
 
it is busier out there and I am seriously considering doing some house bashing site work at the moment as a subbie again as I am liking the idea of weekly payments and less stress and paper work
I am weighing up whether it would close the door on the few good customers who I have and putting my eggs in one basket as a subbie
 
Aww someone spoke to soon I think, now the goverment have taken a u-turn on this first time buyers mortage scheme, I see the big house main contractors share prices went spiralling down yesterday. We could all be back to square one in a month.

I've not been on for a while guys because I have been so busy, in fact flat out since March 2011!, BUT the phone has stopped ringing and I've lost two big jobs down to price which I wasn't charging over the odds for to start with because I price fairly and I needed to get these to get me through xmas, I'm concerned now because since I started I have never been this quiet near to xmas and I certainly haven't been doing anything wrong. I don't know if anyone else in *********, Beds, Bucks is the same or whether they need to shift some work to someone who really cares about their work and customers, and doesn't cut corners. I have got some work promised for next year, but that could be any time up until June.
 
ken this happens to most of us at one point in time or another.
i got hit beggining this year for first time ever and only thing that got me through was loads of cleaning/reseal stone floors for old customers at discounted rate but kept my five employees in work.
this coming jan the reverse and dont know how i will cope from feb till june
best of luck
