Yep! Got £230 of new regular 8 weekly since we started back on 5th, two jobs to quote tomorrow and a biggie to get sorted as well.

Never known it like that this time of year.

Not a thing - but I haven't started looking yet.
I need to get some new ones though because a small list of messers is starting to build up.
Take on 50 and drop 10 would be about right in the next few weeks.

Eight since the 5th January.  One from a leaflet style I last dropped three years ago: "I kept it because I knew my chap would give up eventually.  They all do.."

Yup. I've done very little since the new year due to poo weather, but I am still getting new calls (2 new ones to do tomorrow) and a quote for a 7 bedroomed house from a facebook friend (yes I do know her and cleaned her windows on her previous property).

I am nearly 2 weeks behind, so next week will be giving it the gun to catch up.
