Is anyone buying machinery? Could be hard to sell currently?

Practice walking backwards is a good one, roll up a rug or mat forwards and backwards while bent over. As you get older warming up is very important to keep injuries away

It depends how hard you work! I think it’s hard work, it’s hard physically and mentally. Some jobs are easier than others, I’ve had staff only last a few days and they suddenly become “busy” It’s tough in all weathers and you need a very positive mentality that we are here, we have a job, don’t...

This is very true, back in the early days we used to work till 7pm Mondays and Wednesdays and half days Sunday. I was fencing so much you would put things off and have the attitude that you will do that tomorrow. It’s more productive to work harder and faster a shorter amount of time and make...

Standard minimum hours Fencing 7.30-5.00 Hedgecuttting 6.00-6.00 But they reality is to run the show I’m up at 5.30, make my dinner for the day, load stuff, mend stuff, do quotes, or I go to the job early. Then when I finish work I may sort jobs out for the next day, mend stuff, move stuff...

£200k? You’re very good with numbers? If you were very good with numbers you would know £200k for an ag sales man must be very very rare.

Ours did this and it blew a relay under the bonnet for possibly the alternator

This has been our toughest year fencing so far I feel, constant rain so the amount of work we get done reduces, getting stuck, been covered in mud and wet for 7 months gets you down, every job takes longer and is harder work, 10,000’s of metres to do over winter “when it’s drier” ready for...

It’s going well thanks, I’m in the gym 3 nights a week building muscle well. Still lacking some range but it couldn’t be going better, I’m well ahead of schedule but I’ve still a long way to go. I’m just generally weak and have some endurance to build back in my whole body

I’m training pup to sleep on the post knocker seat, she’s got the hang of it but when she wakes up she ends up here wanting a lift down
