    Default Work seems to be good !!!

    I have a fair bit of work at the moment, which is unusual for this time of year. I can't complain though as it gives me a good start to the year, and i have been quoting for other workand still have more quotes to do. Is everyone else doing good this year ? I hope it turns out to be a good year for all of us !!

    I've slowed down a bit, nothing out of the ordinary for this time of year. Phone has started up again as it always does when people get that first pay cheque of the year!

    Going really slow for me, quoted a few jobs but not heard anything yet. Have got jobs lined up through plumber and a kitchen firm i work for but would still like alot more booked in. I suppose its to be expected though with January and all the bad press about recession.
