its a funny game this window cleaning, when its going right its great, when it goes wrong you find yourself thinking about being employed again.

 
Indeed. they're all problems with solutions though :) just bad they happened at the same time, as things seem to do. Keep at it as the majority on here are success stories :)

 
Well I feel really bad now making a comment on the other post about vision but we all have frank days that's for sure...You still blew your chance keeping that customer as obviously frank was doing the talking not you. /emoticons/biggrin.png

 
I had a Frank moment many years ago while on holiday in Cornwall. Me, the Mrs and dog decided to take the tent for 2 weeks. I had a Rover 220GTI and wedged it all in the boot with the dog sat on top of it all /emoticons/biggrin.png. Anyway on the last night it blew a gale and I mean a gale. In the morning the tent was that mangled that the roof of it was touching me nose as I slept. I was quite happy to keep on snoozing but the Mrs insisted I got up. I wedged all the gear in the boot and we drove off on the long track home. I hadn't even got out of Cornwall when I noticed a rattling noise from the engine. Hmm, fk it just keep driving I said to myself. As we approached Bridgewater on the M5 I heard 2 bangs [delusional]. I had a blow out on a tyre and the exhaust valves had blown at the very same time! We were a mile from the junction. I managed to change the wheel, after emptying all of the camping gear and making sure the dog weren't going to leg it across 3 lanes. I decided to limp off the motorway. As we got off there was a lay-by and parked up was an AA van. Yippee saved! Hi mate can I join up please as I have got a big problem with my motor. Err, you can't just join when you break down mate, but I can give you a tow to the nearest Rover garage. Nice one, cheers mate. I bung him a drink and they are just about to close for the weekend :thumbsdown:. Leave your car here and we will look at it on Monday. Oh frig, I live about 150 miles from here, I've got a dog and the car is full of camping gear. So, we get a few bits and bobs out the car and the AA man gives us a lift to the train station. I'm wandering if they charge for dogs on trains, oh frig they do. We buy just 2 single tickets and get on the next train. Oh ******** here comes the conductor, hide the bloody dog. Sweat rolling down me cheeks as I shove a coat over the dog just before jobs worth checks out tickets. Luckily he didn't suss pooch /emoticons/biggrin.png. We call the mother in law when we arrive at our station and she picks us up and takes us home. My neighbour who was a car dealer saw us without a car on the drive and asked if he could park one of his on my drive as he hadn't got space for all of his motors. **** right off tw@t. Garage ring up and want £600 to fix the car :eek:. No thanks. So I send a transporter down to bring it back. Then I book it in a garage near us who came and collected it and fixed it for £300. The car was never the same after that.

The end.

Night night cnc.

 
well, text a custie for tomorrow and for the first time ever they wont in tomorrow so thats two less to do as next doors access id through their house. lol

On the bright side that leaves just 5 jobs for tomorrow, its my last 2 days of holiday from my part time job so im going to actually have a day off friday then starting monday shall need to start canvassing otherwise i will starve to death lol

 
Get out there mate

Only 5 jobs tomorrow means a whole afternoon to canvass

Get some more custys on your books

 
:DI'm sure you'd accept the job as smurfs driver for 20% of his profits
Being Smurfs driver is the only 'employed' job I would ever take. Being able to retire a multi millionaire by July sounds good to me /emoticons/wink.png

 
There will come a day when a newbie unknowingly registers on the forum as 'Frank'...........please God let that day be really soon!
