Not looking good, busy enough through January but only one phone call in the last 3 weeks, the domestic bathroom and tiling market seems to be very slow - i need it to pick up soon or i wont be trading by the end of the year. It can only get better.

January started off finishing decembers work, 'cos it was mad busy from Sep-Dec last year. At the mo, it's patchy and I'm not sure, I know I've got a large kitchen floor to do in March, I've just got a confirmed partnership with a plumbing company to do all their tiling after they opened a bathroom/kitchen shop, and I've also got in with a carpet shop to do all their tiling enquiries, but, being realistic, I think it will be steady, which I'm not going to complain about at all, although, I do feel excited about this year for some reason. I'm not too worried anyway.

Well I've had the ever usual and predictable umpteen phone calls all at once when I've sat doing nowt for weeks:mad2:

From a deathly silence has emerged:

1 x full wet room (all stone mosaic)
1 x house with full bathroom and full ensuite (all 600x300's)
1 x house with full kitchen floor and full wetroom (all 600x300's)
1 x housing development with 40 houses (200x200 bumpies)
Oh and a little old woman facing the shop that wants her fireplace tiled:lol:

It's always the same and it never changes:smilewinkgrin:

All this, just when I sell my flippin van:mad2:

So far the year has started strong for me. No downtime at all :0) and starting to book jobs in for April already !!! This time last year I had no work Jan or Feb so well aware of what it's like when the phone stops rining. Although I did get a call from another local tiler offering me help because he had no work !!! Poor chap !!! I didn't take him up on his offer as I have enough work for 1 saddly not 2

I am predicting steady growth, with the unavoidable bits of lows, but overall an upward curve. I feel the mood is more optimistic, not just in the UK, but all on the continent, too, which I hope will be catching... I am expecting to be busy.

And now it's Dec 11 and my prognosis was right for me, I have been busy and it's been an upward curve. All good
