    Default Now isnt that just the way

    Next friday i will be travelling down t'south to cross the channel and drive (on the wrong side of the road) through beautiful France to start the family holiday (me, 2 sulky teenagers who only speak to ask for money and the wife).

    Due to this holiday and everything that it entails i had planned to finish working this weekend and take the rest of the week off to do the necessary checking and packing etc etc.

    Today i have had 5 phone calls 2 from plumbers i work with, 2 independent customers and one recommending me from my supplier. They all want the jobs doing next week.

    so i have 2 problems (which i had these all the time lol)

    1. who's tiling project do i do? Dont want to let down either plumber or supplier.

    2. do i stick with my original plan of playing golf......sorry getting things ready for hols.

    your answers would be most appreciated.

    Well my sensible head is telling me I would get the tiling done even if it meant getting a bit of help in. Then the holiday beers taste so much better.....not that I can remember what a holiday beer tastes like !

    Votes are in and counted (also supposedly dodgy weather next week.....fair weather golfer) decided to take the first job that i agreed a price on.....and no its not the most expensive as that is one i would not finish in time and booked solid for a month after i get back so would not want to disappoint them.

    cheers for the comments all

    P.S Mike we are off to la vendee region of france
