Four cancellations in the one week. No, this is not normal. You will get a cancelation from time to time for various reasons or excuses, but four in the one week is unusual. Maybe just a co- incidence at the end of the day, it is frustrating but if they at least re book it will compensate for your down time.

4 in a week must be far above the average.
Have you got someone canvassing the area promising low prices provided it done this week.

Either very bad luck this week or something wrong. Don't worry for now but if it becomes a pattern then find out why.

Neil and I are in the same town.... We don't tread on each others toes unless we can undercut each other by at least 80% ;D

I'm sat in a coffee shop now as my first job rang n cancelled, just as I was turning into her street!! 

I will normally get a couple of cancelations ( actually not cancels but re-books to anther day) every week.

Last Wednesday had 3 jobs booked.
The second one  cancelled the night before so
went home for lunch between jobs.
Got to the third one and no one there "oh I forgot
you were coming and am in Manchester but just
hang on I'll be there in an hour and a bit" he said
on the phone.
