Beat the target by £15 last night. So that was good. Went over a manhole cover which collapsed. Puncture. Luckily it was a rear tyre which had did 30000 mile nearly and was getting changed next week anyway. That was £40 on the account this morning.
I am meant to be working today and tonight as well. I fell out with the OH big time last/this morning so might not bother. I am absolutely shattered today but will go out in a bit anyway. I can see this far enough.
On the plus point I will be out tomorrow and hopefully fishing on Monday. I just wish this week would end.£2 coin/ £460 -
Not been on for a few days. Saturday was very quiet £40 down on Friday night. Sunday was ok did what I had to do and went to the pub. I had £20 on Man U as well at even money. This sounds bad that I am gambling but it is account money with my mate who is a booky. He paid me £60 last night and I still have £40 lieing. Ended up having a very good night out last night and came home extremely merry at 10.
I had planned to go fishing at 8 this morning. Didn't head up till 10 as I was rattling. I only caught one broony at a pound and lost another two but I had a very relaxing enjoyable day. I am sitting here with a face like Sargeant Beetroot because it was so sunny today and what with being out in a boat the uv index doesn't need to be high to burn you. Set up for the week now shame that the sun and cold wind kept the catch down.
I am having a few beers now and waiting on dg appearing. Back to work the morra. The target his week is to get the gran together for the fancy hut. I paid everything bill wise last week and I am £600ish short for the hut but I will just put everything I make this week to that. Not ideal but these things happen.
Unfortunately my brand spanking new laptop has died and is currently doing a system reboot. God only knows what happened to that. I was quite drunk last night but I wasn't wipe a computer drunk:beer:£2 coin/ £460 -
HI BTM..hope you're computer is easy to fix!!!!...we were down also a little over the weekend.Good luck with getting the money for the hut.I'm staying off until monday as it's quiet on days with the kids being off...is it like that there?0

It's fixed took a wee while right enough. It's absolutely dead here. Yesterday was alrightish. Tomorrow will be busy as it always is when I am hungover
Saturday night was shocking. Couldn't believe how poor it was.£2 coin/ £460 -
Glad you fixed it..that's a relief!!!...DH is down on his take this weekend...fri was a little down...saturday was about £30 down and last night he gave up at midnight as he'd had enough and it was quiet early doors tonight as well...daren't phone and ask him!!!..
I don't know what sort of take is good where you are average here on nights 6pm-3.30ish.....fri £180,sat £200+ ,sun £160.....mon...thurs.....he works till 1ish and takes about £100+ each night....
days at the moment are bad...this recession will bite us I guess but luckily on our firm we get a lot of young people going out(they live with their mum and dads etc) so that keeps us going...I think it's already hitting the days...all worrying times I guess.0 -
On a Friday I start at 12 and work till 2ish. I have about and hour and a half off. I am looking for £210 to £220. Same on a Saturday if I work at night. Sunday is only beer money £30 to £50. Monday off. Tuesday and Wednesday £100 are the target and Thursday I will be hoping for a £150-£160. Normally make about £800 a week but that is without doing a Saturday night. I only made that last week by doing Saturday. Poor, poor week.
Normally she has phoned me by now to give me my first hire, as I am still waiting I can imagine how the day will be. I will settle for £80 just now.
We are the opposite to you. It's mainly people who are retired, don't drive, on benefits we get during the day. That is our main customers I would say. At the weekend we do alright but are not as busy as we were. Defitely less of the once a month brigade about.
Anyway I had better get moving as I won't make anything sitting here.£2 coin/ £460 -
Hi BTM ...you are the same as us during the day retired,benefits,non drivers etc..but at night a lot of our customers are the younger end...it's about the same as here then for takings...
Hope you have a good one then ..be safe x0 -
Good day the day for a pleasant change. Obviously I had to have the obligatry puncture. Two in four days. Amazingly it is repairable.
I also got the rest of my winnings from my bookmaker friend. He gave me £50 instead of the £40 I was expecting. I was in some nick on Sunday night right enough.
Beat the target as well. I only need another £460 for the fancy hut. I wish I was paying it to the cards but that can't be helped. Maybe next month:)£2 coin/ £460 -
Cheers mate,
Just reminded me I need to buy a new spare tyre, they will fail it for being a spacesaver:mad:
Glad you had a good day0
