I think the credit crunch is really starting to kick in down here. Calls have really slowed in the last couple of weeks. A bit of a worry, still working every day but nothing beefy its all a lounge or hall stairs landing. Starting to worry abit, how about you guys?

Cheers

This week has been very good and so long as I don't get any dropouts next week will be the busiest week to date.

About 2 weeks ago I had sod all and was convinced it was the credit crunch kicking in.

Cleaned a show home this morning. The show house was being handed over to new owners tomorrow.

Sales girl initially offered me tea etc, by the time we had finished there was a meeting on in the office so couldnt have a drink.

General chit chat followed, she said meeting was between builders and owner of the Estate Agent (big firm in the south) the opinion of the Agent was that this down turn is going to continue for 2 to 3 years.

Another Agent I do EOT for hasnt sold a thing this month so far!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe carpet cleaning will be something people decide to have a go at themselves to try and save pennies, if you type carpet cleaning into ebay there is pages and pages of vax and bissell equipment / solutions.
Think they will soon realise its not that easy and the results are pants
