We have two holiday parks to service (180 caravans + restaurants reception etc), 2 farmhouses and 6  holiday cottages on a local estate plus one castle and estate cottages to servce before next March. This is on top of our usual domestic work. I don't know how we are going to cope honestly.

I’d say that it’s the busiest xmas for years  for me my phone never stopped in October I’m booking work in for 2nd week in January, this seems like Willy waggling but it’s the truth and I don’t care.

Don’t think Xmas rush exists anymore really or if they do it’s more one roomers.
Been consistently busy all year….

It used to be get the carpets cleaned before the tree goes up 8)

In the good old days I would turn down the single rooms and try and fill the diary with higher paid jobs ( the suite & through lounge was always my best money earner)
