Well never in all my life would of thought be posting like this was so positive for 2020 at New Years this was gonna be my year , then bang all that time off absolutely killed me going back the aching and pains that we don’t feel as are always working normally came back , I lost all my mojo and just couldn’t be arsed , then so many calls I couldn’t keep up and found myself getting stressed about work all over again, then the materials and deliveries situation on returning,
Feel now I am on top adapted to the new bullshit and am getting threw jobs ,body is feeling like was pre lockdown
So onwards and upwards
Good luck lads

Biggest thing I've learnt through this is don't get stressed about pointless stuff. You look at a job you don't fancy just send an email and say it's not for me, if you overrun on a job just push everything back don't start working stupid hours or weekends to get it finished. Work life balance is essential. I ignore all calls on weekends now and anything after 6, if they get someone else they get someone else

That's the way to do it. I'm quoting on my time now aswell. Sometimes I've gone and quoted at like 7 or 8pm before, not get to see my kids go to bed for a job I may never get
