Phone hardly ringing today. Some jerk from AW has been texting since 8 am this morning, in spite of my "No SMS please" request. I've indulged him way too much (nothing better to do), and every time I agreed to a scenario he then came back and wanted to discuss a different one. Classic narcissist self absorption. Good AW reviews, or I would have pulled the plug sooner. Have now given him the sack, and am dusting book shelves instead. My local M&S, bank and bureau de change all dead. Post office empty in spite of impending Christmas. Damn cold outside, and people looking miserable. Have an old regular booked in this evening for an hour, other than that zilch.

The lift in my building was out of order for the afternoon and so I went to do some Christmas shopping and get my hair done. Naturally the phone rang off the hook all day! 

However, I've got a 2-hour booking at 6 and it will be OK.

Very very quiet for me also. I've had a local hotel booked for three incall days this week, and I've had to cancel all three days just before the cancellation deadline as the phone has hardly rang. I definitely saved a few quid on hotel fees as no one really rang or emailed on the afternoons or evenings either. But - on the plus side - my house is now gleaming and all ready for Christmas!

I have an hour outcall scheduled for later, but I'm travelling a bit further than I normally would to do it as it's been so dead. This may be the calm before the storm...or that daft phrase I keep hearing, the weather bomb...and we might all be wishing for five minutes peace next week. Here's hoping!!!

Actually ok today, just when I've run out of steam with that weekend feeling. Will grit my teeth and do a couple more, so I can have a splurge on the Farmer's Market tomorrow, have my hair and nails done, and sort the last of my Christmas presents. Incredibly organised this year, and in spite of up and down business managing to give nice gifts to god son, friends and family. Tempted to order one of those drone thingies for the god son in Oz, but am sending money instead, hoping he'll spend it more sensibly.

I've decided to take a couple of appointments this weekend to make up for the dead days during the week. Don't think I ever had such a quiet run-up to Christmas.

Ive given up on wondering why one minute it's dead, the next day the phone rings off the hook, (always all wanting to
book at the same time  )...
I'll just take it as it comes and try not to worry about it, nothing else for it!

Yup no rhyme or reason for it sometimes.Sometimes I've been really busy in traditionally quiet months or weeks and then dead when everyone else seems to be beating punters off with a stick!

The recession finished 2 years ago so it can't be that.

Probably just a glitch.
