Is it really the time of year?

Silver Saints - London handyman service. We have noticed a change in routine of late, usually Monday is our busiest day on the phones and as a result we take more bookings on a Monday than any other day. But Monday bookings have slowed down and every other day of the week has picked up.

Having been in the pro handyman industry for 5 years I have witnessed the continuous trend of high bookings Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and then a decrease in bookings on Thursday and Friday but something has happened that has turned this ever reliable routine on its head and we seem to be taking far higher bookings towards the end of the week than ever before. We originally thought it was the time of year that was having the affect and things were generally slowing down as everyone recovers from the financial hang over from December but this does not add up as the average bookings taken Monday to Friday has not gone down it just been reversed. We have a few theories on this but none of them are certain and I wonder what has changed that has made a consistent trend that makes perfect sense change completely.
