she is happy as she only does the bottoms! she does suffer from m.e though so got to give her a bit of slack

thats the thing with window cleaning!one day earnings sky high!next zilch!then when you spread it out over 12 months its not as much as you think!! ::) ;D ;D
still it beats working for someone else!my record is £250 on my own for 7 hours a few months ago.mainly wfp.
im sure over the next few years i can make it the norm for a days pay.

Hi daz - what you say is so true - a trick I've learned is to look at my average over a month. I assume that generally there are 20 available days for work out of 30 and I try and make sure that when I am on say the 7th of the month then I have at least turned over £700 and when I am on the 17th I'm on £1700 and so on.
This means I have to average £150 for all working days and to do that, what with weather and short days due to failing light then I have to do appreciably more on good days.
Works for me ... but I speak as an owner operator with no helpers at the mo'.

Why would you want Turkish Delight with your burger?
I prefer fries with mine.

I agree with you on this one. My first two days this week I've gone like the clappers knowing that today and possibly tomorrow I may not be able to work.

My missus suffers with that, but she is gonna help me a couple of days a week next year as at the minute she does 16 hours a week in a hotel and comes out with less than £100 so its not great so using her tax allowance alone we would be better off!!
Plus its free labour :) Is it not better for you to pole everything though? surely its a nightmare working under dripping windows ?
-
we do pole everything what makes you think otherwise? you would have to be a mug to be trad these days!
she starts when the windows stop dripping to avoid any dirty water on them

sorry pal, just assumed it was trad when you said she just does bottoms, if you were poling itd make sense to do up down,
Does that work ok then because as i say im gonna be working with my mrs 2 days a week i reckon in the new year, so wondered what would be best
-
if you brush the sill a few times with water turned off you can start cleaning the ground floor windows straight after the upper windows!! ;) ;D ;D

its got its ups and downs, but its good for keeping the profits in house. it was great when we 1st started as she would do the fronts and i would do the backs, but she cant cope with that anymore. ive also taken one section off the xtel pole to make it lighter for her.

could'nt imagine 24/7 with the better half!! :o
