Extended Holiday.......

[Paulyboy]

Hello all,

Just returned from a winter season snowboarding.....(always wanted to do it, and at 42, thought now or never!!),and returned to find it very quiet on the work front.....went away in December after one of the busiest years i have had in a longtime, and in my area (S.E.Kent) it seems to be all but dead!!.....I have always had the luxury of not having to travel bundles of miles for work, mainly up to London and home counties, but am now considering taking on work further afield.

Have any of you chaps noticed anything similar in your areas?. I have not had to advertise too much over the years, and i have always found the "yellow pages" to be a waste of money, so would appreciate any advice you chaps could offer!

I'm having to work a little further afield, not too far though, always within an hour of home. Getting a lot through a couple of plumbers at the mo, lots of repeat and recommendation work is keeping me busy. New work is virtually none existent.

Yeah, i was getting a fair bit through cards and recommendations, and through referrals from my local suppliers, but being out of the picture for so long, seems to have put me at a disadvantage!!.....I really dont mind travelling, and will happily stay in digs, if i could find a decent run of work away somewhere further afield....Oh well, i am sure things will pick up soon:smilewinkgrin:
