For the past 3/5 months I've been flat out to the max, with all sorts of plumbing / gas safe work coming in, but February has completely gone the other way

When I worked on-site (many moons ago lol) February was always a funny month, some years we would be flat out & some no work at all

But now I'm working for myself I wasn't expecting it to be this slow

Is anyone else finding this month slow?

Not asking what money everyone is earning or anything, just how work load is this month?

Thanks chaps
 
I'm trying to keep things quite for the next week odds as Im' about to become a dad again but last week saw 3 boiler changes and a bathroom install, the busiest week we've ever had.
I'm having to not answer the phone to keep things semi quite :lol:
 
quietest Feb I have known pal, but strangely doing me a favor (recent operation) so off work at moment.
Bucket loads of work March/April/May already.
its called being self-employed .. LOL
 
I'm not to worried TBH, the kids are off school this week so me & my boy was fishing yesterday, got a bit of work to do indoors to keep the boss happy & a couple of small jobs booked in for end of the week

It is nice to have a little rest every now & then, but I find it's nearly always slow when the kids are off school

I am busy enough.
Got two kitchens and bathrooms to start next week, in flats next to each other.
Only trouble with tying yourself up on larger jobs, does always mean the phone will not stop ringing with other work, to which you simply cannot get to.
I think they call that sods law!!!
