Just did my work sheets for the month. Nearly 2 and half grand outstanding. I always slow up on the collecting through the winter months but this was a shock. Recently changed to the pole so going to plod along in February trying to nail the technique and routine  and make an effort to collect this money in. Hopefully by the end of Feb I should have a few more quid than normal and I wouldn't have been spending my days rushing around. Better than most February's

why do you "slow up on the collecting"  in the winter months?

i dont do much these days but still go out every monday for  an hour or so all year round.

because it's dark and cold

 i run a tight ship and keep an eye on debts whether its weekly collection on a monday evening or text reminders/sending emails etc after 14 days without payment.

its all too easy to end up  with  a large debt if you dont nip it in the bud every week.im owed £550 at present which i can live with.in fact it very rarely goes below £500 these days at anyone time.
