I'm just getting advance bookings who later cancel and promise to reschedule and don't call back as promised. I had one call from a demanding timewaster who I realised I had blocked before (and accidentally unblocked) for the same reasons. No other call passed my screening. I'm enjoying the sun and may do my gardening!

I stopped offering advance bookings for this reason. On the day is better but still get no shows some times. Guys in general arn't reliable. The confirmation is more promising. When they book i take it as a maybe booking until they confirm.
