Genuine advice Daz.  Don't fall into the same trap I did.  You might be faster, but laying in the sun won't build your round.  You will be making less money if you just get through your work quick and then chill out, been there, done that.  Now is the time to increase your round size, specifically go after wfp suited work in your area.

I worked today trying to catch up, but its a great day for canvassing.

hey nigel im already making more money as i clean a lot more windows on my existing round(skylights/2nd floor/above connys) and more add ons(fascia/conny roof cleans)and im still quicker than trad!also ive been slowly picking up better paying jobs!

i have 340 custies and a varied round.i also work in wet weather longer and im keeping my round up to date most of the time! ;) ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

i never work bank holidays anymore as i value the time spent with family and friends more on these days!!

i often work a saturday to catch up if ive had a bad week weather wise.obviously i will be actively going after more wfp suited work over time. ;) ;D ;D
