Picked up 8 jobs today, thats the most in a day for a long time. This is the start I hope of a busy December.
Pay day is coming so it should be picking up now as people are wanting to plan for Xmas. Never asgood as July August but let see what happens this xmas.

Had an old customer book a job this morning at 6.45am, I'd just come off the treadmill and was knackered, she thought I was having a heart attack, but today was busy on the phone but if I tell you how many calls I get some start calling me a liar.

I believe you Shaun with 20 yrs under ya belt, let me guess er...........23 calls?
I have had 11 calls today and booked 8.
Why worry if people believe you or not as long as your busy and doing well.
which year was it when you had 83 calls in the day??

It was actually 86 calls in one day but I am struggling to remember the year 1999 I think as it was just before my son was born, I had 29 enquiries, some run off, 14 booked and some are calling back after consulting other halves which are nearly there as alot of them are old customers wanting to know dates and times etc. I have places left before Xmas which is unusual at this time of year.

Checked planning office, 4 calls about carpets today or should I say yesterday.
I’m still at work now. The building is 1876. I have glass windows that run alongside my office, this is a corridor that runs through the building. The corridor is in complete darkness at the moment, twice I have broken off my work as I keep seeing something passing the window.
Very reluctant to walk the corridor to go home. Ill climb out the window!

Last 3 weeks have been solid, next week full.
If it gets too far for bookings i put extra help with tech, i find people wont wait too long.
Have quite a bit booked in for Dec, hopefully some flood work will come in a couple of weeks,
did a couple last wed / thurs.
Always done work as it comes in, have a steady stream of custies.

Not much room left in the diary before Christmas now. The way its going I could end up working everyday inc Sat/Sun but I dont intend to. Done too much of that in the past.
