I hated January...was always scrapping for work, last thing after the xmas expense was having tiling work done..how busy are you guys in the field,across the length and bredth of the country ?

Just as normal for me mate....about middle of feb at the moment....

 

[GazTech]

That's good Dave...I am getting very mixed feeling from the traders that buy from me...will be interesting to see the results of this poll....and a good indication of how the tiling trend is in the country.....Gaz

Not got a thing at the mo. Had 4 jobs booked in for this month but 3 of them cancelled stating "they just can't afford it" overspent at xmas
I blame Jesus

 

[IvegotsTILE]

3 Quotes to do

[howard]

i have 1 job booked for 21st jan & 1 quote to do on monday

 

[Grace'sDad]

Mid feb for me too which is a BIG relief as I've only been trading 3 months and had convinced myself I'd be dead in the water after Xmas!

I've had one job "pull out" on me though, but it's a blessing in disguise really as I have tons still to do on my own house!
