Today has been really good for me, phone going non stop so made the most of it and did 5 jobs, wasn't expecting to be busy because of Xmas shopping etc x

Yeah but the guys get the women to go Christmas shopping and they nip off and get their leg over.

Plus they can make odd lumps of cash disappear at this time of year without being questioned about it .

I still have no idea what Black Friday is (or at least what it's got to do with us in the UK), but it didn't make much difference to me as most of my clients work on a Friday and pop in as usual. Nobody even mentioned it to me and it's not a big deal here as far as I can tell.

On the plus side, I got three reservations in at a couple of my regular ?150-200 a night hotels in for ?89 and ?99 quid a night, so I'm hotel-ready now until mid-April .

I paid for available today and it was completely dead, no single booking. And I took wednesday thursday off, and on those days I had enquiries 

Story of our lives eh?!

Listen to this for a piss take - I have uni lectures Wed and Thurs. My landlord comes round to do various diy/post/cleaning activities Mon and Fri. God why test me?!!? 

I was really busy last week and the weekend was mental - non stop and yesterday was very busy as well  But I have been away for a month in Spain. Plus I got new photos & videos which always makes a difference   Fingers crossed it will stay busy now

I am getting new photos done tomorrow so am hopefully getting an increase in business very soon!  Plus more interest in my picture gallery as this has almost dwindled to nil.  Then again the photos are over 18 months old at present .....

wow, good for you. I'm finding it quiet - must improve my marketing. I'm obviously not making enough of an effort.   

I've been away for a month not working so that makes a massive difference  I think  it's been a lot of new guys plus loads of regulars

I tend to get 3 photos sessions every year I had one in feb June and Nov
Work well because it's it always at sort is quiet times in the year which then makes it a lot busier because of the new photos

  I have around 120 new Photos that I had taken last sun /mon by 2 different photographers in Bristol but I only put up a few new ones each week ( same for the private gallery ) this keeps them fresh / interesting 

Also I had about 15 new videos done as well which I will add but only one every two weeks or so

But I also then edit these video do make smaller clips like 10-15 secs to username back page and twitter and vimeo and my other adverts

I've had 10 days off due to tonsillitis. Came back to work yesterday and was steady, made my minimum money wise with 3 bookings. Quiet this morning, but I've had a couple inquiries, fingers crossed they turn into bookings! Need to make up for my time off or I'll have to cancel my London tour  xox
