POA is the only way bud, keep thinking of the money is my motto 
CPC ha ha, what a waste if time !
I get xmas day and boxing day off, some guys on new contracts that started after me even have to book those days off as holiday !
Oh the joys of transport.
On a brighter note I do spend half my day fast asleep on my bunk waiting to be tipped / loaded..... POA :thumb
Getting paid to sleep always makes the job rewarding

Can get get someone into help Steve,
It would seem logical.
I feel for the dairy guy, that industry would drive me nuts I reckon
My business,seems to have gone down a lot thus year, don't think people have spare cash for yachts ( their equipment ) now
I'd love a day a week plastering. ( i reckon my bathroom is ok ) . Don't think anyone would entertain taking on a trainee 50 y/o

I know a lot of dairy farmers - TBH farmers do like to moan a bit even when the going is good. Plenty live in very decent houses with nice cars, decent holidays, etc.

Very true, I dislike my job as I would like something where I went to work and returned clean! But I'm very good at what I do and have a knack for knowing how to do things quickly, its rare I'm not the highest paid person on the site. To move into another job would kill my pocket more than me.

I'm stuck. If I move up then the position isn't paid overtime. So although my basic would be higher id end up losing out financially. If I move to a similar company, and I've been offered the chance to many times, then I'd be back to 'starting wages'. And in reality all companies in my industry are exactly the same.

I knew I would get hassled loads in the last house, half the windows are missing and I only started it on Tuesday yet they have it arranged for all trades to start in the house on Monday.
In four days I have boarded the whole house (big 4 bedroomed) and plastered most of the ground floor but to finish by Sunday is totally unrealistic. I'm soo looking forward to next Friday when all this madness is over
