How are you taking the recession? Has work slowed up, got busy, prices dropped? Is now a good time to put yourself out there. Share you thoughts

I know quite a few folk up here who have sold their homes and got rid of their mortgages and now rent from a Housing Association. Many of the rented properties are new builds and work out far cheaper to rent than a mortgage, plus all the maintenance is thrown in for free. Besides a mortgage is just a rent to a bank.I'm on a fixed rate mortgage for the next year. If it goes up the minute the fixed rate stops, I'll be a bit screwed. I should do something about that I guess!!
you not busy diamond ?
I'm plodding along, best description Busy for me is working after 2pm I've noticed a drop in my private work though! A couple of regulars have not responded to my calls or letters *shrug*
I'm fortunate in that I don't need to make much to get buy I reckon Bod! House is paid for, van's paid for .. got no debt! Cupl of hundred a week covers it
got a contact insouth shields who uses plumbers gsr guys if thats any good to keep the beer fund up
i am back working with the council, Been put back on kitchen and bathrooms which is great cause its all price work, only down side is that i now need to go on 24hour call out, tho is good in money terms 40 jobs just the other week £20 a call £10 a shut and £100 for the week your on just going on it no matter how many calls you get,
Still got my other own business, just doing small jobs at night and big jobs at the weekend, i am busy with my own stuff even looked at getting a other plumber to give me a hand, but the work just now peeks high then peeks low.
My problem now is i get phone calls asking for boiler breakdowns etc and i just cant attend them, and finding a plumber round here that you can trust can be a nightmare,
My jetter that i use is allways busy he travels allround scotland jetting for normal day to day customer right up to big companys, tho i dont fancy getting covered in **** every day

Good for you Bobleponge. I had nothing for 2 weeks now. At least doing some training at Baxi this week for 3 days so keeps my mind occupied and not depressed of not being working. :/ damn recession, when this will end?
I take it, that's the Baxi Combi appreciation/electrical fault finding course?
Its really good. I did it last year.
