Just though I will ask if you guys are having a good start to the wonderful New Year. We not had a bad start I must say.

I'm hoping this year will be exceptionally good, that’s why today I dedicated my day to enrolling on all the available courses for new year etc to improve my skills especially " cold calling" course I hope may be very useful.

Started back yesterday, off today and 5 jobs booked in for the rest of the week.... I hope it's a sign of things to come

[Neil Williams]

Enquiries have been coming in which is a step in the right direction compared to pre xmas.
Could have done without the snow though.

[Doctor Carpet (Ret'd)]

A wonderful start thank you.

Not held a wand in my hand since before Christmas. It's lovely getting up late in the mornings as well.

Lots of bookings coming in. The only downside.....


....at some point I'll have to actually start cleaning them.

Not good at all here . Van needs £600 of work done to it to pass MOT.,vacs went one week after the other before xmas  £400. Got one job booked for saturday. Mind you snow hasn't helped either . No-one wants their carpets cleaned in this weather . 

[colin thomas]

excuse the pun but i'm snowed under with work, trouble is i can't get out there to do it, i'm truck-mounted and can't get up icy hills,

That's 2 jobs postponed today.... Fortunately the customer's are very understanding!!!

[SteveAllan]

Not good here in Northants, not one phone call this week, hopefully its the bloody weather and people have other things on their minds.

That's exactly what it'll be Steve.... I need to order oven cleaning products but I'm not going to bother until I know it can be delivered.... So from a consumer's point of view, I'm not expecting things to be normal and that's probably how your/our prospects are thinking

If you think about it though, providing you can get about on foot, if you go round delivering leaflets today people might appreciate some post and most of them will be in...... Ever the optimist

[SteveAllan]

Thats true Colin good idea, just gonna get some porridge down me then go and post some cards. Already printed off 30 reminder letters to get in the post as well from my database so hopefully will get some bookings from that.

[Steve Barnett (Carpet Care Plus)]

Got plenty of very lucrative work on ................... but I cant get out of my bloody lane to go and do it - very frustrating !!

[richy27]

[Joe H]

My window cleaner has just come around!

[robert meldrum]

Amazed to hear so many are inundated with work..................especially with the weather your getting in the South.

Joe

Did he fall off his ladder !

[SteveAllan]

He must be mad lol, water must be freezing on the windys

Hoefully he'll have a WFP and some anti freeze

[robert meldrum]

Saw an advert last year about hot water window cleaning. Might be the answer!

[Joe H]

Actually they are still trad.
Not much water put on the windows but they have come up clean.
Had someone at the bottom holding the ladder.
Wont catch me up a ladder - not even on a summers day. 

[Daria Taylor]

i think our window cleaner forgot about us all together, his not been for about 8 weeks, but saying this next door window cleaner been on christmas eve and weather was'n much different to what it is now, felt really sorry for him as he didnt look too happy.

I'd be worried about thermal shock..... I'll stick to working indoors I think
