I've not been on for a while guys because I have been so busy, in fact flat out since March 2011!, BUT the phone has stopped ringing and I've lost two big jobs down to price which I wasn't charging over the odds for to start with because I price fairly and I needed to get these to get me through xmas, I'm concerned now because since I started I have never been this quiet near to xmas and I certainly haven't been doing anything wrong. I don't know if anyone else in *********, Beds, Bucks is the same or whether they need to shift some work to someone who really cares about their work and customers, and doesn't cut corners. I have got some work promised for next year, but that could be any time up until June.
