Venusrockstar it's very slow in my area as well. I'm located in london as well, Westmount area to be exact, and I have been adverstiesing for months with only a few hits that don't turn out. Hopefully the summer months pick back up for interviews.
Sorry to hear that you will have to leave your kiddies to go back to work. That's the worst feeling in the worldfingers crossed you can find a few clients before.
Good luck!!
