Just wondered how busy everyone is at the moment?

I went quiet over the initial covid period but since then I have been steadily getting busier and busier and now have 2 months of work booked in which is the most I have ever had. Bear in mind I am a one man band, purely domestic, 2 months is a long time. In fact it's too long as if a regular customer rings up they have to wait 2 months.

Just wondering if it's just me or if others are more busy than usual at the moment, same as usual or less?

I think it's because no one is going on holiday so they decide to do up the house instead. Everyone's gardens are looking pretty so they're turning to their houses now.
The only gardens and houses looking tardy are the tradesmans ?

I have A large conifer hedge (about 5-6m long) I want cutting down & the stumps removed but the quotes I have received are eye watering

@happyhippydad it seems like since the COVID started I can’t get caught up. Don’t get me wrong I’m not complaining but I’m getting old and it’s wearing me out. As you I have at least have 2 months booked up and the calls are still coming in. It looks like I’m going to have to hire a helper

Oh dear! I've always thought it meant unkempt. Foolish me, I wonder how many times I've used it over the years and had strange glances that I didn't comprehend .
