Doesn't matter how far you're booked up, you'll always get something. I've seen myself on a Wednesday not knowing what I'm doing on the Monday then come Thursday evening I've got 3 weeks work booked in. It's a funny old game.

Better working for a few quid less if needs be than sitting in the house..

I'm not taking anymore jobs till mid october now,,I'll be having a few days off between now and then though as salmon run will/should be starting early september and it'd be sacrilege not to have a few days on the river

and what happens when something ***** up,when you are all so far advanced with the workload?

you work late or weekends Bri, you can't plan for the unexpected or you'll be second guessing yourself all the time and be scared to take any bookings farther ahead than your next job.

I've seen myself on a Wednesday not knowing what i'm doing Thursday..lol, something allways seems to come in, and you can go from having nowt to being piled out in a mater of hours, I've had jobs come in out of the blue that I quoted months ago and thought I had lost....never know in this game whats round the corner...

I'm just on with a bathroom that I was asked to do last year just before Xmas. Was booked up then and said they would get someone else to do it as they had relations coming to stay from the US. Got a call in May saying they weren't happy with what others had recommended and decided to wait until I could do it. And 3 months on here we are. Completely unexpected, and and very welcomed
