Yes Wayne from my massive amount of experience ;D my first month i averaged £400 per week, thought this is easy put out 1000 leaflets ching ,ching 6 jobs that was July 2009 then Christmas wow £500 in one day :o
This year though has been very scary one week £40 next week £60 phone did not ring for 5 days, but getting work from previous customers already and charging a fair wack so keep plodding along, keep marketing,marketing building your business i refuse to fail as i love this work ;D  and these guys on here are always willing to help 8)

I remember a few years ago I used to swear and curse when the phone rang. Now I thank the almighty when it does!  ;D ;D

Shaun,

Proceeded by a short walk to the butchers to buy a pork pie for dinner. That broke into my time. ;D

Had more calls on Monday than Ive had the last 3 weeks, same again today, so fingers crossed, now booked up for a week. I knew it always went quiet before a general election, but this time it didn't, it simply hadn't picked up in March as it usually does.
