I normally start at 9 am, I have just rung my first 9 customers and am now starting at 6 am.

So instead of baking till 3 pm I'll be done for midday, There'll be less traffic and hopefully customers will be in bed or busy.

really?

id rather bake in the sun than start that early!

ill be on the glass around 9am-930am and should be finished by 230pm-3pm......usual day/routine......

I’ll also be out shortly after 6am tomorrow. I wouldn’t even consider doing Domestics at that time though.

If it was genuinely  too hot to work (I don’t believe it is) I’d rather just have the afternoon off than phone my domestic customers and start them at 6am.

[Spotfree]

I'm made up with starting early, its the best time of day to get stuff done.


When I used to work shifts I used to love the 6-2 shift, great in the summer. Same when I worked for British gas, I used to call round the night before and get a good head start. Finish early and off down the gym before all the posers and ponces.

I completely agree, I’m exactly the same, early bird catches the worm.

But domestics? All your custies will still be in bed or atleast just waking up. I’d find it massively awkward doing domestics at that time.

[Stoots]

I'd love to do that to be honest 6 - 11/12 would be great.

But only in the summer when it's light/hot

Would be horrible in the winter.

But alas I can't start at 6 on domestic, especially in the school holidays.

Going to start at 8 tomorrow, which I think is pushing it, I normal don't clean before 9...

Only working till 12, sod doing a full day in this heat.

When I worked with a family friend, we always started at half 7, he knew which customers were up early, so was never a problem. You  soon get to know who’s up and about/off to work early.

I start at 8am, more cos I like a bit extra kip, but half 7 wouldn’t phase me. Just a case of knowing who to start at.

its not just the awkwardness of all your customers being in(and some still in bed!) either!its the cars on the drive,street,etc.....

i reckon itll be the first and last time he starts on domestics at 6am!

We've decided to sack it off; I've got a ton of admin to do.

[Dave Willis]

Nearly finished. 5.30 start this morning. Rest of the day off for me.

[Stoots]

Did 8-12

Far too hot today, I'm getting burnt through my shirt.

[nathankaye]

I'm gutted with water situation as I would have finished yesterday and been able to enjoy this heat (though I did enjoy yesterday off)
Currently having a hot drink (which tricks the body n kicks it into cooling itself) in an air conditioned building, and boy is it cool.
Just another couple of hours to go and then that's me till Monday.
Enjoy chaps and stay safe/hydrated

Ice cold drinks work far batter in this weather!
