I intend to work. I shall see how the weather is when I wake up. Im sure if its weathery outside I shall stay in bed though  ;D


Had a few nasty bills recently so could do with some cash. Its not the end of the world if I dont work although the tax man might think it is come Jan 31st.


If I work I'll work if I don't I won't, who cares, it's christmas.

I get one day off for Christmas. I clean a night club in the city centre ( day to day cleaning contract ) and as they'll be open they need cleaning.

It would seem there's some right patronising prats on here; one in particular who's name I forget .... French Alps man I think, could be wrong ..... but I work hard not because I'm desperate for the cash but becaause I enjoy the lifestyle it gives my family.

I have a great mixture of day to day contracts, windows and carpets to clean, and have done for 20+ years. We have holidays two or three times per year, including most years a fortnight cruising around the caribbean at Christmas and New Year. We have a cosy life style but work more than 12 bloody days a month.

Please don't come on here feeling sorry for those of us who work harder than you as we probably earn more than you too, fool :-\
Come and talk dirty to us!!!

great post....
it's all relative also...
if I was a single guy with no children, I could  afford to take days of all the time....but I still would choose to work.....

I choose to work 6 days a week...I choose to work on the 24th 27th 28th....
also I choose to finish my day when the kids finish school......thats my choice....

am I desperate.....? no! do I need the money??? well I would be ok with the time off, but I would be heck of a lot better off with the money also.......

but to come on here and slate someone for working hard and call them desperate is pathetic

Never worked Christmas Eve. Not that desperate.

not always about being desperate, id love to give my guys time off, but we (along with lots of others on here) have clients that need cleaning on christmas eve,

Correct, we have 3 high profile jobs being done on Monday.

One client will have been cleaned 3 times in December. If they are willing to pay, then fine we will clean them. I could go out in one of the vans and have an easy day out.

I am not working Christmas eve though, if one days wage means a big difference you are in the wrong business.

I can't work out whether you're too stupid to realize that Monday is Christmas eve, or whether you're being smug because you have staff that you are making work so that the three high profile jobs that you have will get their windows cleaned on "Christmas eve".
I can remember when waking up stiff in the morning was a good thing.

We're not working but had it as a bank day in case we ran behind.
If you need to finish your round, it'll be better than working between Christmas and new year. If you're miles behind and won't finish even with working 24th (and don't need the money)-have a day off.
IMO work if you NEED to, but not unless you have to-just my 2 bob.

It's just the internet. Try not to worry.

Clients requested they had them cleaned as close as possible to Christmas. They asked for Christmas Eve. So they got it.

Tbh, I thought I would give CIU a chance. I have heard a lot of people slate this forum. I have tried to go in with a unbiased opinion.

To be called stupid after posting less than 200 posts really does sum this place up.

I Have been off work ill for the best part of 2 weeks so i will be working tomorrow.

The only days i wont be working are the 25th, 26th, 1st and sundays.
The rest is fair game. any customer who doesnt want me there will be missed and cleaned again next time round.
WE CLEAN BY FAITH, NOT BY SIGHT WITH WATER FED POLE WHEN WORKING AT HEIGHT.

If someone wants to work Christmas eve so what. There's nothing wrong with it and all the willy wavers should just shutup, live and let live.

I really don't care if you are holidaying on mars, people are at differnt stages of their lives with children, mortgages and so on. Stop judging others.

We're starting at 6am today (commercial), domestic will start around 08:30 and working till 2pm then off to the pub for a couple of libations!!

I've also got the carpet cleaners out today doing 3 domestic carpet cleaning jobs, including a full house and another is all the downstairs.

We've also got one team working on Thursday and Friday doing commercial work.
