I sacked it off in the end. Went for a 9 mile run, did my months invoices which is about an hours work, filed my tax return, chased a few payments and quoted 2 jobs. Now having a big tidy of the garage/workshop area.

It’s good to have a down day every so often catching up on jobs. Booked a big office in for tomorrow so I don’t get tempted to have an early weekend  ;D

I don't mind having a week off it just always comes at the wrong time. I.e just had 10 days off for Christmas. Not a money thing for me it's just frustrates the hell out of me when I'm dictated to by the weather . When you don't want to work you feel you have to because you couldnt work when you wanted to.

To be fair I've done 3/4 of what I would normally do for the week. Plus ive finished now for the week so I can feel my happiness levels increasing back to normal.  :D

Why don’t you re train in a trade? Do something more interesting that’s not weather dependent?

Barely dropped below freezing during the day time here in Bristol.

Probably some of the best weather for window cleaning in the UK here  :)

It’s been weird in Scotland this week.

I’ve got a hot water system, so I can work fine, but what I have noticed is that after I finish a property the glass is just frosting over.

It’s been a bitterly cold wind in Scotland too, I think the “real feel” is more like -10.

I’ve had a slow week, but it’s only lasting till tomorrow.

I like an easy start to the year anyway.  ;D
Probably the result of people being more frugal with their heating.

Just enjoy the time off then crack on when it's better weather........some won't like this but work w/e's if necessary to keep up if money is tight.

Yes agreed. Bit cooler out in the  nearby South Glos villages but still workable.

Could've done today if I started at about 9.30 but no need as the last three days have been great and tomorrow I should knock out in 4 hours too.
It's a game of three halves!

Its been crap all week hasn't  it. Yesterday I started half 9 and first house took me half an hour, it was a nightmare every window freezing up. Didn't really get going till half 10 and by that time I could no longer be arsed lol I came home at 1.

I'll do what I can today then I've had enough for one week.

No worries Adam.....

Wet and windy next week!storm after storm!🤣🤣🤣

I know it's been like this for weeks rain then ice rain then ice.

It's an utterly wank boring job i need to figure out how to get out of it I don't have the patience or motivation anymore. My earnings this past month have been the worst ever because I just cba at all.

 :D

I love my round now.....its 4 short days per week listening to music,audiobooks,etc.....I feel absolutely blessed to be a window cleaner!😎

Not good for the bodybuilding, sex machine image. Sort of thing my dad would buy. Still, you could blend in with the milfs at the junior school I suppose.

We could have forgiven you if you went for the R instead of the R line.
