I'm ready to go most Sundays by 8am. Most weeks I've had someone by 10.30. I've got a couple of guys who always turn up with the jogging gear on. But I've always worked a Sunday. It took a while to build up and it helps that I'm a naturally early riser/ early to bed.

Only with enough notice.... No way am I rushing to get ready as used to for early bookings then they didn't show.

Ive seen clients as early as 6am before but only if they book the night before, im dont get up early unless i have to.

That wasn't London but it was a big town , I get up early but I can't get into action that early , seems to take forever for me to feel bright and alert , well half hour at a push but that's well worth knowing Amy thanks, it's a good idea for departure days as your on your way home most of the time so you can rest after that

Well like the folk above I don't get up and switch my phone on at that time and I only get out of bed if they confirm when they're meant to, but it's well worth doing. In my experience pre-8am punters tend to be clean, sober and on their way to work which means they don't take the piss timewise. And I can set to and plan my day after they've gone .

I love morning bookings but 9 AM is the earliest I do and it has to be pre booked. I love making a few hundred quid before 12, as a morning person it is ideal. I detest working after six..

I do get up very early but it takes my brain at least 3-4hrs to reach room temp 

Im relieved im not the only one, Adele! Im up around 7am every day. Sometimes even a bit earlier. I am usually bright and shiny and out of my moaning and swearing mode around 9am.

Which is a shame because I love early morning bookings. I will get ready for a few regulars when they ask for 8-8:30. Morning bookings are really great. It's office guys, perfectly clean, sober, fresh and organised.

I've recently been offering early morning bookings and I have really been enjoying them for the previous reasons stated. HOWEVER, it's an absolute pain in the ass when they cancel.

This morning I had a 6.30am for an hour, who arrived, then 2 subsequent half hours, all times in perfectly to run half an hour in-between, but those 2 half hours cancelled on me. So I had to get up for my 6.30am regardless and now moseying about until my later bookings. My green light and phone is on but it's ways doubtful those slots will be filled at this time in the morning and at such late notice.

How do you avoid situations like this?

I've set my alarm early for advance bookings but I've also had alot of these cancel or no show.So not worth it for me.I'd rather do late morning,early afternoon and evening and I get enough work from these time slots without seeing people first thing when I feel like crap.

I'm the same, plus I live in an area where lots of people are out drinking into the early hours, so I'd be worried that they'd just been on a night out. I think it could work though in cities where there are lots of businessmen about.

For me, most of the enquiries that contact me before 10.30am are timewasters. Occasionally they're not but the majority are.
