I've been going 4mnths n built my round from nothing pushing 200 customers it's hard work and at this moment in time I wouldn't want to start again unless I was in Australia or summit but not UK

What's wrong with qpr is that they have a manager called Ian hollaway, who's head I'd like to rip off and p*ss down his neck. I detest the him for the way he treated Millwall. Grade A bell end.


@Damo, the thought of starting over again would horrify me.Im happy where I live and work, but I'm 50 now and happy with my set up /emoticons/smile.png

Calm down :thumbsup:

Christ no thanks finding it hard enough this time around to put me off for life.
If in had to do It would find the best area in the country. Get a 50k loan and pay canvassers to build it up and rope someone to help do the first cleans.

Once first cleans were done I would sack him and carry on alone and live happily ever after.

so sly lol

I totally agree with that! It took me far too long to cotton on! I honestly don't think I could do anything else to earn my living now.

I clean a house there and the woman told me that house sold in 2001 for 105k... it's worth around 3 mill now lol... obvs doesn't look the same now, it's pimped up like an MTV crib but every second house is like that there now!!

I'd have stayed in the Army, would be retiring on full pension in a few years if I did.... Done 12 years though.

But would definitely have became a windy as soon as I got out rather than bounce around for one job to another.
