Zara I don't want this to come across as being mean, I'm genuinely trying to help you.
As we all told you on your other thread, the very limited hours you're working are going to hurt you. Also I don't know about your agency, but when I very briefly did agency work when starting out, if you were only available at limited times you'd be bottom of the list for work when it did come in.
I do understand your predicament, I was in a position last year where I had to go and stay with family for a bit, and getting away with doing outcalls was a fecking nightmare! I couldn't take any bookings during my usual busy times, and money was really an issue. I said I had a job working shifts, and used to go and sit on wi fi on my phone and try to deal with everything during the hours I was 'at work'. It was hard and disheartening though, especially when you'd had a timewaster or whatever and just wanted to go home but couldn't. But it did mean I could take bookings.
Hopefully when you change your hours you'll notice a difference.....people will have been paid again by then too. 
I agree with this, although I've always been indie. My working hours are 11-8, although I switch on my phone usually around 8am/9am (sometimes earlier if I'm up for the gym). I do get guys calling sometimes on their way into work for later that day - remember a lot of clients are married. So they'll use their commute, or 10 mins before they go into the office if they carpool or whatever, to try and book you, because it's the only time they have free to speak.
This isn't a great time of the month, plus its a traditionally quiet month for folk - I've been busy-ish, but I've returned from retirement so I'm a novelty again to old clients. The week before payday often is slow for everyone in any business - there are folk who are weekly paid, or like in our industry, get paid by the job, but the reality is the majority of folk are paid monthly. Traditionally, I have always been busy a few days after payday - bills/mortgages have clearly been paid, so they know what they have spare. A few days before payday, I just get on with life and take bookings as and when - I don't expect them, so don't go out my way for them.
Someone once told me to think like a client, and that is pretty helpful in some respects - I do keep my working times reflective of that, I have always kept where I worked reflective of that (I realise that you - Zara - use an agency flat, but if you ever go indie and use your own) in terms of parking, access etc as well as maintaining my own security standards. You can't please everyone and you'll always get knobs who want miracles for ?30 an hour or whatever. And they'd still try to haggle it to ?25
