  1. Friday - Day out to NEC, Birmingham for British Open Horse Championship (Gutted - Gadget Show Live in very next arena, I could have got tickets for that whilst everyone else when in with the horses). Saw Jason riding a great looking skateboard type thing, which looked like fun , although I was eating a Subway at the time, so I was probably having more fun...

    Managed to spend just over £500 on horsey things, so the question is would I have spent more in with Suzi and the guys ?

     

    Saturday - Wedding cake delivery done, back for the entertainment tonight, band on until 2230hrs, I do the last 90 minutes.

     

    Sunday - Blagged the TV so watching the football for a change.

     

    Monday - Paperwork

     

    Tuesday - Breakfast meeting at 0700hrs

  2. Wanna swop.

     

    If I only had 13 odd jobs per day, I'd be happy !

     

    Today for example, not because it is any busier/quieter than any other day, just because it is today !

     

    1. Walk the dog

    2. Complete 13 booking forms that have been returned to me, along with the cheques

    3. Complete banking

    4. Send out 3 booking forms/quotes

    5. Just off to do the banking now

    6. Buy flowers for cake on Saturday

    7. Buy music for upcoming gigs

    8. Go and visit daughter, as she is still in bed all the time

    9. Buy stationary in Staples

    10. Food shopping on the way home

    11. Open todays post

    12. Meeting with client

    13. etc etc etc

     

    Haven't even put down the usual things, normal make/receive about 20 - 40 calls on my mobile, 10 - 20 on office, 1 -2 on home phone, check email, respond to the ones that make my willy bigger !

     

    Than do all of the above for the four other businesses.

     

    Some days it takes 3 or 4 ours, some days 18 hours, but wouldn't have it any other way.

     

    Oh and job number 1001 - Go to bed.

     

     

  3. A flight case that need collecting, and then start it's journey to Devon, rather hoping someone could have collected it, then delivered to another DJ alittle closer to me, and so on until it reached me.

     

    Not the first time it has been done, which is why Kingy knew the score in the first post !!

  4. Correct, one rule for one....

     

    Say the agent, who agrees to pay you £200 per gig, for any gig, on any day, gives you 2 gigs a week on average, and fully books you in December. You get £24,000 pa from the agent.

     

    Now do you worry he has also made £24k, or are happy not to have to do a 9 to 5 job ?

  5. OK, so you are not happy at the agent make £200 on a £400 gig, the agent 'makes' 50% of the total fee.

     

    So you stay at home and decide to buy a pizza instead.

     

     

    The pizza costs you £15, are you then happy that the pizza you have just paid £15 for, only cost under £7.50 to make (50% of the total fee) ?
