No not busy and to make matters worse I worked out that from jobs fallen through or that have been nicked by plumbers/kitchen fitters or just "gone away" I’ve lost just under £4k’s income in Jan & Feb alone.

Add to that my Yellow Pages fiaso, see seperate thread Yellow Pages disaster

Mind you saying that ive a 2 week commercial contract supposed to be starting next week which has been pushed back to the week after but apart from that!

Need to be hitting them streets me finks!

I dont know whats going on around me, ive sent out lots of introductory letters and called loads of companies but still no work. oh tell a lie i had a small bathroom for a plumber. but so far this year its been work from recomendations, but even that has dried up now.

I have no idea what to do next!

It seems as tho no1 wants any tiling work done by me. ive even expanded my usuall area.

Any advice for a tiler getting back in to the swing of things???

It wasnt this hard when a was tiling about 2 years ago
