diggerman 0 Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 I have a couple of months worth of work. the phone isnt ringing as much now though, so crapping myself as to whats going to happen with my business. If work runs out I have an offer on the table which will see me through at least 6 months, but its working all over the UK. Most lads I know in the trade are in a similar position as myself or have no work at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
