I said NO at the start of the poll but starting this week I've become busy again to the point of annoying customers with waiting times.

Just how I like it!!!

Anyone else seen a pick up in enquiries recently?
It seems the retail side has also picked up after a slowish start this year.

I hear; I forget
I see; I remember
I do; and I understand.

I think there's plenty of work, obviously the more tilers there are the less there is to go round I suppose.

Well worth putting some of this into action. It's worked for me.

Getting really busy now, pain getting customers to wait a week or two before it can be done, all want it doing ASAP.
