What's a bogie?

What you need to remember if your working for yourself, is that you are not getting paid for bank holidays or other holidays and you have to provide your own PPE.

im used to the self employed side of holidays and sick.

i just want to be realistic on speed and job acheivments per day

some of the lads reckon they do 2 bed first fix in 1/2 a day which is £200 notes potentiolly do 12 a week on 6 days

****** do you reckon or what???????????

More important what do you reckon?

I prefere the customers who pay for quality and not quantity.

Tanners if you start worrying about the number of jobs/day you do then you will make mistakes & end up being more stressed than you were working for yourself. Just do your best & wing it as we all have at some new job.They will soon let you know if they don't think you are doing enough. I think your mates are just bragging about the time it takes to do a first fix
