Hi Martin

October, 10 years ago  I did £693.00  :-[ for the month

my records don't go back any further but I know that when i very first started I did, some weeks, a mighty £75.00. that would have been Lounge/diner plus HSL special offer at £25.00 total 3 jobs a week.

And do you know only last month I saw an ad in the paper for the same at £45.00 so I must have been well over charging back then ;D

Well I started 2 years ago, the reason I started on my own was, previouse business partner was ripping me off (no suprise there). I find it tougher now, as everyone wants me , for one thing or another and when you do both  commercial and domestic work it can all get a bit too much. My first eve job was commercial, only entered domestic to drum up more trade, but now I want to concentrate on the commercial side as things are getting busy.
But the hardest part is role changing from business woman to mum....
