    Default christmas and working!

    got a call today from a childrens day nursery went and quoted for 6 splashbacks and 2 floors with ufh nice little earner but the problem is they are open from 7 in the morning to 6 at night so not easy to work around that as i cant be on the premises when they are open and im busy until 23 rd dec so it looks like im working the two weeks im supossed to be off and the wife is not to pleased about it at all. I cant win but im not complaining probably book a holiday with the money i get for doing it and hopefully that should keep her happy.

    any one else got to work over crimbo it
    will make me feel better if im not alone!

    i hope to not work this xmas,but last xmas i got a call from a customer who was in a bad situation, she had the heating on and the fire on. both systems heated the house and on xmas morning the old gun barrel pipe work burst. OMG wat a mess.
    i do not know that much about plumbing only the basics,
    so i managed to stop the water anyway,
    but she gave 200 euro and christmas dinner hehehe

    so this xmas, i want to have dinner with the other half.
