April has been VERY slow.  Maybe the credit crunch will be more far reaching than I first thought.

The phone stopped ringing regularly about 2 weeks ago but I'm still managing to get full weeks in, I can't work that one out neither but I think it must be turning because I've had 3 calls today.

Sept is always a bad month for me, Had my first call on saturday though for about 8 weeks.

April has been good as have Jan Feb, if they are better than last year then things are still moving forward, in the 5 years I have been going now last year from march to July was the worst I have ever had.

Its May this week, summer is here, always the busiest time of the year for me, I find Xmas is rubbish but Jan and Feb good but I did do my 50% offer which worked very well. I was twice as busy as normal but I managed to be working and made a profit, I felt it was better to be working than sitting at home, I dont have the lucksury of being able to take Jan and Feb off. o i tried something extreme and it worked.

Hi Guys

There is no doubt the credit crunch is affecting things, I had a really bad week call wise two weeks ago but last week was good, so all hope is not lost yet.

Been out in Leigh last two Sats which are usually busy and it was noticeably quiet

Look at your advertising/marketing/sales, recessions sort out the men from the boys.

Heres to a good week for all.

Cheers

Doug
