Today calls for a double celebration because we found her first tooth, which was bit down quite hard on daddy's curious finger, ow.
I'm off again today looking after baby. It would be nice to start a baby food blog too because some of her food is simply delicious, and very healthy too, like banana and apricot '4 cereal muesli'.
I need to plan the next few weeks work again today as I've got a lot on, especially hedges and clearances. This should see me through to January which is good. There are a just a few regulars in January and February but something always turns up in them months.
List of jobs for winter include:
- Livestock fencing
- Big overgrown beech hedge topping and sides trimming and all waste removing 200m long 20m high and 8m wide (there's a months wages in this one)
- Overgrown leylandii hedge topping and waste removing approx 30m long 15m high and 4m wide
- All waste from hedges to be processed into decorative wood chips and firewood for resale
- Silver birch to be topped
- Two gorse clearances, one on a steep bank
- A regular, once a year leylandii hedge trim
- Some topsoiling to finish off
- Then there's the usual gutter clearing and odd jobs like felting a shed roof and fixing a fence
Checks are unusually late coming in this month. I'll have to do a bit of ringing around, which I don't like doing, because it takes time out of work when you could be out there earning. It's a good idea to put the prices up on customers who are persistantly late payers, or even get rid of them all together, because bad customers will bring your business down.
There's plenty of decent people out there to take their place.
