damng ragin >:(
Called at first job this morning. Car in driveway, dog in hall but no reply. Called her mobile 3 times inside 30 mins and on the 4th left a message stating that we had called but no one there. Told her that as she hadn't cancelled I would expect her call to re-book otherwise I would call her this afternoon to re-book.
These people just p me off. hadn't even the common decency to cancel or (as yet) even return my call.
Surely we must have some legal rights or is the law solely on the customers' side.

I have a daughter aged 11, have already told her that I pity her first boyfriend, I shall conveniently be sharpening my rusty divers knife when he first walks in ;D
Had a council meeting this morning for their commercial dept but this is for the Pigeon mess and other such delights.
First job of the year tomorrow morning.

If the phone isn't ringing take a shower, drive around without your bluetooth, or stand next to your machine so you can't hear the phone, this is when I get nearly all my calls. :)
-
theres another one mike, but she's not well at the mo so can't do that ;)

-
12 Jobs booked now. slightly up on last year, value wise as well.
I've always found the best way to start the year is plan any
re-decorating jobs for January, i can then guarantee not having
the time to do them.
-
Why dont you try sitting down to a hot meal, the phone rings off the hook at this point.

5 jobs last Friday (first day back-had hoped to be on holiday till Monday 12th so as to catch up with paperwork/tidying/admin/planning/that sort of thing.)
Three jobs today (2 for a general cleaning company and one for a landlord who lives in London and who has used me before apparently!
5 jobs booked in today worth c£600 all existing customers. One of them in Liverpool; it's nice being paid to travel!
Finished early to get over to Liverpool for a committee meeting followed by very nice meal, back home for 11.15.
Tomorrow is back on the admin as I've managed to hold off any other customers till Friday. A two day week but still very profitable.
And it's still early January. Help!
