Rushed off my feet, working more than I really want to, not enough time to do my own stuff.

Without fail, it's the same every year, November and December just go mad.

Following the same trend, January and February should be quiet as usual. 

 

[steptoe]

Ive never known it to be this busy at this time of year ever,

barring the usual rush jobs for christmas,,,,,,,

this year has been mad since september for me, but, I do , do a lot of subby work, and they are rushing me off my feet, 6days a week min just now just to keep up...

 

[Sharpend]

Well I can honestly say it hasn't been this busy for me at this time of year without travelling half the country for work for many a year, worked seven days a week for the past three month and it doesn't look likely to stop this side of Christmas. All signs are promising for new year also, luvvely Jubbly.

Do we need to train some more electricians?

 

[Sharpend]

Don't get em started pache

 

[pewter]

Too much work and not enough days off

 

[Sidewinder]

If you're too busy, you're not charging enough!

Now using the rate to control the work I win & loosing the battle!!!

Don't take on bookings like many of you as what I do is different.

Got 5 projects on the go, one or two quotes out & more breakdowns that I can do at the moment, & some install work that I am looking to share with a subby just to keep up.

Having to work 6/7 days and I really don't want to.

Lost two jobs recently on delivery times, but got more to replace them.

Just had one client come back who complained about the rate I was charging, so they went elsewhere, when they came back, I put my rate up by 17% to them and then said I would go back and do more work for them.  They agreed, second job from them already in, and this was only a couple of weeks ago.

 

[batty]

[dave2]

I was just glad to do a  :run  off to work just for the peace and quiet!

 

[Sharpend]

Holy cow robin, we must be married to the same woman, or are all women the same????

 

[Robin Spark]

I think they might all be the same, but I always tell mine she is special and one in a xxxxxxxxxxxxxx million! ]   :slap

 

[binky]

Holy cow robin, we must be married to the same woman, or are all women the same????
