Seems very quiet already, not much coming in via the phones or t'interweb and can't get decisions out of anyone. Is everyone really gearing down for Christmas this early?

If anything, things are busier here now than they've been all year, and I've been flat out all year too. Maybe translation clients are all spending to meet budget? I don't know. No sign of a downswing here yet, though.

mortgages are flying out my door, i've not historically done much in december but last week was a 9 grand week and this week will be over 11!

..although that might just be because i'm not surfing PH as much as I used to

having said that though, as a company we only wrote 21k between 11 brokers last week so you could say the slowdown is biting...house sales are slow but not as slow as they were last year

:grins: thanks matey - pint on me at the curry night @ tayyabs for you!



Edit: actually, having seen your abilities in that dept @ LM2006 I think a jug or two holding 4 pints each might better do you justice thumbup

We are pretty busy at the moment and anticipate being even busier right until the end of the year. I might only be able have only a day or two off over Christmas actually.
