I know that if i was doing 4 jobs a day i would not want to work on a saturday. ???

Up and down here at the moment , one week busy next week quiet. Only 2 jobs this week and have never had that since starting in 2004.

MY mate Del up the road from me is doing better than me at the moment then this time last year i was doing better than him, some of this is just luck.

I usually contact my old crowd for their Xmas party (my cleaning) and they have actually contacted me this year and reserved their places in early December and they've added to the group, 28 different customers all on practically the same road all booked in one after another (which is nice of them but old people are like that ;D) I call it Cleaner Close!  takes up 4 days and I get cups of tea and buns and cake as they think I'm malnurished.

Busy at the moment, had two quotes cancel this afternoon though. I think they were watching the Thatchers Spawn Budget Special on the tele. Cheers

I dont think that the Chancellor's - Mr we are all in this together -speech yesterday is going to do us much good in the coming months,lets just hopr the public decide not to buy new and have their carpets cleaned.

3 weeks ago i was quite busy and now ive gone quiet - really confusing for a newbie like me.

I usually get quite a few bookings for the last week of the month, but next week I only have two jobs at the moment. That is the worst since I started. I just hope the phone rings tomorrow and the beginning of next week or it will be pretty grim.

Had someone blow me out this morning as well, which I needed like a hole in the head.

Isn't it strange that when people cancell its always due to anything other than the real reason >:(
