Well the opposite for me the last 3 weeks have been mega busy ..... really don't understand what School Hols should have to do with it there are plenty of guys 40+ passed the having school kids age ?
You can't call it - every day is different, its the average over the month/year that counts.

:- a lot of people have kids when they are older, i jave clienta in late 40s with children in secondary schools, i know for sure that its school hals affecting my work atm as it always happens during these times. I cant talk for others- we all offer different services etc so for some this time of the year can be busy n for others not so much. But to jave so many people commenting ita dead - it surely means the holiday had aomething to do with it.
It really pisses me off when people come on this thread making comments how busy they were etc when everyone else is struggling for some reason. AND NO ! Im not being rude-jealous whatever u name it , its somwthing that i noticed few people r doing what looks like on purpose.
