Sorry to learn you're having a quiet time. Booked right upto 15 Dec with a few booked for the New year also. Thought last year was busy but, after a quite week early Nov it's gone mad. Funny how it can vary so much.

Pretty quiet round here

3 large hard floor jobs to do and a limestone wet room to tile before christmas..just right ;D
-
Have you not got any flyers you can get out with an Xmas offer on? Booked up right until I go away on 16th now, six days a week and even Monday evening next week.

my advise is change as the market does. You have to stay in it to win it

I've got one booked in on the 23rd December at 7.30 I'm hoping to have finished on that day, I have spaces for the previous week but tbh I've got my big week next week I should end up the size of a sumo wrestler with all the cake ill be eating.

Oh the joys.
My tax assessment dropped through the door this morning.
Nice to know that the money is all there ready & waiting for him next month. He won't get it until the last possible day though.

Wouldn't worry about the tax man, the end of the world is due on Dec 21st so there won't be any tax to pay ;D
Tried that with my accountant but she wasn't having any of it :(

ive been going backwards for a few years now & have decided to come out fighting...perhaps i shall wait till the new year now!!!
recently lost my biggest commercial client to a national company as head office wants to lay office there accounting staff and i'm now forced back into the private home carpet cleaning arena where the competition is strong...
my polaris 1200 & windsor admiral will think ive abandoned them as they are lousy at house carpet cleaning...

I had the opposite a day or so ago.
I had a late night on Friday and thought "lovely, a day off tomorrow. I can have a lie in"
Ten o'clock Saturday morning there's a knock at my door. It's a customer... saying "are you doing my job today or what? You've never been this late before"
I had looked at the wrong week in the diary and completely missed a job of a suite and five carpets that was booked in for Saturday morning!
It's the first time I've had customers literally chasing me for work.

A few years back got a call from regular on xmas day to say she had knocked over a glass of red wine "could I come out now to remove it as she was expecting family for the evening" I replied "£150" She waited until after boxing day
She couldn't see the fact I wasn't just sitting waiting for people to have their carpets cleaned on xmas day

I am finding at the moment I am starting off the week with just one or 2 bookings, but gradually as the week progresses I have booked stuff every day.

Only Friday arvo free now, got one sat arvo, then a big space until Dec 22nd when I have 2 bed eot

If it's an empty EOT whats the problem with that? Might wake the neighbours up but hey, times money.
-
Nothing wrong with it, just I didn't know there WAS a 7.30AM!

I start at 7.30 everyday this time of year, I miss the traffic and get loads done.
