    Maybe send a newsletter to everyone informing/explaining to them the "limited" availability over the christmas period... and if they need extra work it needs to be pre schedualed. I would also have a cut off date (eg 5 december) for any extra's that can be prebooked if your already busy.

    Might be a bit late this year to be effective but something to put in the calender for next November!

    Overall, being busy is a nice problem to have

    Definitely for next year Simmo, as I'm always booked out and knocking back many jobs daily together with clients asking for the extra's and expecting it to be attended too within the week is so good but painful.
    Will be working all weekend to catch up in between rain/showers forecasted on Saturday.
    Plus tomorrow has been updated to 39deg.
    Gona set the alarm clock very early for tomorrow, but all's good and I wouldn't change this lifestyle for anything as I reminisce on my past life especially leading into and out of Christmas.

    Looking forward to Friday night, as at one of the Major Pokie Clubs in Albury Brian Cadd & Russell Morris are performing for free admission with the drinks at Clubs prices - Life is good!!
    Cheers Garry

    got to over 40 in Nowra around midday, I'm about 20 k's east on the coast - 22 and a nice sea breeze; had the day off in sympathy for all the less fortunate

    Only had 3 jobs scheduled today. 2 of which usually take about an hour, the other 10 minutes. Did the first big one at 7am. Sent a txt to the other big one at 8:30 "See you monday. It's already too hot". Went home at 9, shaved me head, showered, drank beer and watched cricket all arvo. Not sure what it got to outside. Sittin on 37 and 75% humidity now and a nice 28 inside all day. Bugger workin in that heat. The grass will still be there on monday. Sounds like a storm comin now.
