Cheer up mate, next week could be worse

Not much chance of that mate

Glad to hear, if you know how much I have been through you may understand, and yet, people have had it worse than I, and that makes me want to stand up and carry on, regardless of how hard it is, you have to be commited to carry on.

I know what you mean mate, I have been through so much in the last 15 years and just feel that when things are just starting to go right, something comes along and slaps you back down

Noz mate, it always does, whatever you do. The thing is you need your character and friends and to step back every now and again. Look at it this way, if tommorow, you was given a week to live, what would you do? Now, if you was given 40 years to live what would you do?

To me there is no difference, unfortunatly sometimes accidents happen, I can live to my full lifetime potential, or die tommorow, so whilst I am alive I will do what I want when finances allow, and I will sleep when I die.( Bon Jovi)

It's funny how you seem to hear more about fines for illegally using a logo you are not entitled to use, and very little about fines for doing shoddy or dangerous work.

It is a simple fact that it is easier to prove incorrect advertising and logo use, due to the public nature of such advertising. Whereas non compliant work, especially domestic, normally requires permission and access to a persons home for gathering of evidence. Most homeowners are reluctant to stitch up a family friend or relative who often has done the poor work. Unless it is a larger project involving building control, probably no one else would have any authority to do insist on improvements to poor work.
