Have you had a bad experience with a service provider lately? Do you have a horror story to share? I've had a few over the years ... and every time I need to have something done ... aaaargh ... I groan at the thought of having to pick a name from a directory list or picking up a flyer at a robot or hardware store.

So what do you do? You may phone a friend or do a Google search ... but often the smaller providers don't have websites [yet]. Otherwise you're pretty much on your own.

That's why we started Bread and Butter. To have a place where you can find providers that have been rated by other people. We've just started and are actively finding providers and clients to sign up. So please help us by recommending you know and rating the one's you use on the Bread and Butter network.

I have found some great providers over the years - a great reno guy, a fantastic appliance repairman and a wonderful accountant for example. I'm sure that you have similar treasures in your address book. Sign up for free on Bread and Butter and invite them to the network [you'll find a TELL A FRIEND tab once you log in].

If we all share then you'll have a load of great new providers to choose from next time you need to get something done.
