I had the same issue when I went self employed. Didn't realise or more the fact I didnt expect I would get as busy as I would straight off. Larger jobs than expected, full bathrooms etc and it tied me up. Had to cancel / push jobs back that i didn't want to. They were happy once given a date but like you say, when stressing about it it really does get you down. Yet having "too much work" should never be a bad thing.

Appreciate this thread in the same boat myself now with regular customers all wanting you at the same time and not wanting to let anyone down or them to go to another local plumber just find yourself saying yes I can do it. stressful stuff working all the hours but don't seem to be getting anywhere as rent is ridiculous and I have 3 children & apprentice which all drain me at the moment.
glad to know I am not the only one in this boat 🙂

How longs the apprentice been with you. Anything he can go off an do, such as tap changes etc?
How is the apprentice going. How long have they been with you?
