Define 'booked up'

Some guys do 7/8+ jobs a day and work 6 days a week.

A lot of carpet cleaners are finished by 2pm and sniff at weekend work and say they are booked up till the end of the month.

Im happy if doing 3 jobs per day, 4 days per week, start at 10am and home for 4pm, Mon - Thurs.
Try to have Fri, Sat and Sun off.
Last few weeks been starting at 8 and working Fridays too so that to me is busy.
Would not like to work weekends at all unless it is a big commercial job that is fantastic money.
Its about getting the work / Family time balance right.
We all have different Financial commitments so need to earn / work more than others its a personal thing imo

Sorry should of been more specific!!
What i was interested in seeing was how far in the future Generally cc are booked,
for this basis i suppose m-f office hrs excluding wkends - general times when domestics are happy for you to clean - not many want you to start 6 in the morning! (just wait for someone to answer that back!)... otherwise no limit we can all 'double' shift from time to time - Its just a snap shot


bennymon - sorry to hear about ya work sure it will pick up soon  ;D
thks for your honesty.

I would guess booked up is when customers say..... 'never mind I'll find someone else'

if you are losing customers because you can't fit them in then you are 'booked up' on this basis I'm never booked up because I always can fit them in  ( if I want the job.... otherwise I tell them I'm 'booked up')

Time to upgrade to a Pheonix.  ;D

There's no way I could physically do that, even on speed.

In over 11 years i have never been booked more than a week in advance. Apart for one week last year that i was booked solid two weeks, but that was a freak occurance.

We're at about 80% capacity for this week which is great as we can still take on last minute jobs and we have 4 jobs in for next week.

I made 7 bookings today which is unusually big for one for us but I'm having a gamble on a marketing change, so here's hoping it pays off in the long run!
