so how will you pay your bills jim?i remember a few years ago when it rained virtually every day all through the 6 week summer holidays!we have to get out there and have a positive attitude!

if its a washout with prolonged heavy rain then fair enough.if you just have low motivation and fancy a day off ok also but if you live in fear that custies wont like you cleaning when its raining or  believe the forecasts and dont bother going out youll quickly find yourself getting miles behind with work and no money coming in!!

i did work in the rain trad but hated it at times.cleaning in the rain WFP is just so much easier!your missing out big time jim.on earnings and safety and ease of being able to stay out and crack a good days work out with WFP.


BEST WISHES

Have no bills mate live with my mum and brothers, only bills are care insurance and board :) Washing ironing cooking all sorted lol too easy to move out bro!
About the Wfp, I will be changing over, however I'm paying 3G a year car insurance ATM an that don't cover for business purposes! When I've got my years no claims my mates gonna let me use his van and I'm straight on it, although I'm gonna leave it for the custy to decide how they want them done. I've only just started working alone 2 months ago due to my partner being a idiot and robbing work and equipment and getting police involved even tho it was my dads round! And I'm on suspended sentence so no chance of kicking his door off and givin him a good shoe in.
Doing much better alone though, gained £100 a months work in 2 months thru custard recommending me, got a nice £100 school 4 times a year and my old customers are putting the prices up on their own!! Customers saying well ur dads been doin em 10 year and no price increase so were putting it up! Sound...

Worked all week come rain or shine with no problems with customers paying without saying anything about the rain.
 
I talked to a felllow mate window cleaning and he said he just started cleaning number 65 and she came out and told him not to come back as its gong to rain in a bit, and it wasn't raining at the time.... ;D ;D ;D
