Nov was quite good and December not so good, but already I'm getting plenty of enquiries for the New year and booked 2 in today for February. It's a bloody odd lark this carpet cleaning business.... ;D

I've been surprisingly busy particularly as many of my regulars think I've retired or left the planet. The first thing most ask ( usually apologetically ) is " are you still cleaning carpets / suites.

I know we shouldn't complain but I just want it all to stop, I'm f*ed :(

November steadily very busy, only a few gaps here and there.  December even busier and the 10 days up to Xmas working between 8 and 11 hour days, which is a lot of work with a TM!

And STILL the last-minute Larrys are calling up for stuff to be done before Xmas.  Did one tonight added on to my already hectic day.... got home at 8.30 :(

10 hour day probably tomorrow, 11-12 hours Thurs.... wish it was like this all year round!!

That's why I like January-it's quieter and you can catch your breath and do some planning after the madness of simply surviving the 10-12 hour days on the road...............before getting home to do the paperwork :o

I've worked 18 of 20 days this month, some going straight into evening commercials after a full day.
And turning away shed loads of work.

Although its good money, I wouldn't say it's my dream lifestyle. But you gotta take it when it comes

November - record month
December - would be a record month if I worked for the whole month
January - Never had so many bookings in advance, but tough, having a week abroad :)
