HOW MUCH DO YOU ENJOY WINDOW CLEANING

is it enjoyable or do you do it as a case of having too
ive been cleaning windows for 15 years & i like it. where
else do you get the freedom of window cleaning.
if like me you are self employed then you dont have to answer to anybody Grin as long as you keep your customers happy & stick to your scheduel its cool Cool
if you worked in a normal 9-5 job you cant go home early
if youre not up for it. ok sometimes we have to put up with dodgy weather but its nice in the summer Cool my brother drives a black cab & he moans all the time about
the traffic & the passengers . give me window cleaning any time

ps; the money isnt bad too Cool Grin Cheesy

Twenty years on and I still love it. Apart from being a personal trainer, what other job would pay you for keeping fit?

Its great in the summer getting paid to get a tan , not so good in the winter  Cool
Posted by Spoonbill1970 (Spoonbill1970), 31 January 2004
Absolutely!
17 winters at it. Some days could see it far enough, but mostly a great job for keeping you fit(ish), being in the great outdoors, and being able to listen to TMS in the summer without interruption  Embarassed
I have a lot of customers who work in offices all day, and you'd think they were going to JAIL! Grin
As for not being answerable to anyone... Only the wife!!!

At the moment I hate it working all week and not getting paid for it.  "Can you come back next week"  As most people on my round aren't in when I do the windows I have to collect.  All my customers know I collect Thurs Fri Sat at tea time and don't answer the door.

I love the job itself but am seriously thinking of selling up SadSadSad
