Very well if anything it's getting busier but I don't make extra money for being busier though unless it runs into overtime.

We have had our busiest season ever, but not without difficulty. Weekend bookings down, weeks with schools etc we have worked our socks off for some new trade. Lots of other outdoor centres closing, and I think we are picking up some of their trade, plus it is a real survival of the fittest/hardest workers/best value.
Despite all this, cash is tight due to the huge increases in the food and energy bills.Posted 6 months ago # -

The world of the web has been VERY busy this year...

Good, best year since 2007-08. Although that is more down to a couple of flukey large jobs, had I not been in the right place at the right time it would have been at the other end of scale. Next year could go either way at the moment.

Good but in very selective markets. I supply a service that is more luxury than necessity for 70% of my clients, so I've noticed some cutting back on the levels they choose.

2009 was our best, snow hit us last year and this year we are a bit down. Christmas is our peak time so we are crossing fingers.

November has been great, October was absolutely dire but overall a good enough year. Thankfully people can't stop buying mobile phones, and they can't stop buying them for their kids either.

Good 3 months which looks to be carrying in to December, strange for the mortgage industry.
Summer was shite though & still suffering as a result of that.
Hoping for a good start to next year to kick things along nicely
Posted 6 months ago # -
The usual - hectic at the start of the year when people come back all through of optimism, quiet over the tail end of the summer through autumn whilst they are faffing with kids n school holidays, followed by late autumn/pre Christmas PANIC WE HAVE TO GET THIS SITE SORTED YESTERDAY IT JUST CANT WAIT TIL NEXT YEAR....lots on atm.
Being a small company it's always famine/flood/famine/flood.

Busier than ever. Best results ever. Working our socks off.
We're laying off staff and implementing a pay freeze.

It's been horrendous since May - I do freelance management consultancy in the charity and public sector areas and its by far the worst period in over 10 years of doing this.
I also do voluntary work for a couple of charities and they are busier than ever providing services, but doing it with less money.
Hope 2012 turns out better.
