Well im on track to be finished by weds 19th back on weds 2nd Jan :)
How is everyone getting on ?
work up to date or snowed under ?
-
I think one of the things to do to keep up to date is not to take on the plethora of walk ups where they want a regular clean....but the actually want to screw you over and get a cheap one off
That is all

I do the same with regard new customers asking prior to Xmas, fob them off until new year, making sure regular customers come first. Come January is when you find out if the new ones were genuine or not ;D
-
yeh i stopped taking new work on last week. Thats it till new year, try to get done and go again in new year.....
-
Sod the new one offs coming through. Seem to be getting a load of my regulars want insides doing too before xmas.
Aiming to be break up on Friday next week and taking two whole weeks off. Might go back on the last Friday to ease back into it.
-
I had 2 walk ups today who want there's doing both in the same road and both said January is fine ;D
I won't take on anything in December.

How do the employers work it for time off, do you tell them to keep x amount of days for this time?

There's 18 of us. Some will be off from the 24th some haven't got enough holidays left. The plan is to get the regular work done by the 24th then get all the odd jobs and new customers done between Christmas and New year.
On track so far.

Your making a rod for your own back....STOP offering an inside window cleaning service and they'll never ask you again! ;Dthat's what I do....I can't be arsed with them...unless of course you don't mind cleaning them.....

Not sure where I am with this at the moment. It looks like I'll need to work Christmas Eve to get a bit in front, but I'm hoping to take the Thursday and Friday off after Christmas. I'll need to do a little bit on New Years Eve as it's a weekly job.

from my experience when ive planned to work in between xmas and new year it has never happened.....when the time comes it doesnt feel "right" to be out there cleaning domestics,commercial can be done any time,even xmas day if you have no family.....

The plan is Friday 21 st last working day of the year 👍
1st day back Monday 8th of January
This is all subject to change
Due to heavy ⛄️ snow ⛄️ 😢

It’s amazing how many people REALLY struggle to find a window cleaner all year round but try REALLY hard in December.
I must have had 10 phonecalls this week alone. Told all of them I’m too busy cleaning for my regulars but I’ll happily do the first clean the first week in January. Funnily enough none of those 10 were happy to wait 3 weeks 😂
-
Weve had some ill health in family so ive fell slightly behind. So working this sat and early start in the morning of each day next week should see me finished for the month and so plenty of time off till early jan.
Gives me plenty of time to finish my online taxes 😂😂😭
On all my advertisements for extra work I always put that I do not take on "one off" cleans and funny enough i dont get those enquiries 🖒

Oops wondered why people were going back “Sunday 7th” 😀
I’m always moaning “bah humbug “🧐
Merry Christmas 🎄 everyone ⛄️

Day off tomorrow (birthday) then hopefully 3 more days next week and done, at least thats the plan if the weather holds up.

I'm proper behind!
The missus has been quite ill, so i've had to take time off to look after her.
She's on the mend now so i'm happy, but I could do with stopping the clock for 2 weeks ;D
No new custys, no walk ups and a little cull will help soften the blow.
