As title really, Im still well behind and have just taken on a small round so want to get them all cleaned asap as theyve been left for a while, any suggestions / opinions appreciated.
Oh and Merry Christmas!

get in there mate, alot of people work inbetween xmas and new years! any decent custy will see how dedicated you are surely!
-
I couldn't do it. Just think people will be having guest round .Bank holiday monday tues due to christmas and boxing day falling on the weekend.
Theres no rules but for me i would rather stay at home with a beer in my hand.
If you need the money whats the worst they willl say ,not today thanks.
But if you don't need the money print a letter out explaining whats going on and when you will be calling what ever the weather.
Thats what i would do.

Thats my thought GB its my missus saying you shouldnt go round in cased i peee them off, but i thought if i knock first they can always say no.
Like your avatar mate, im trying karate at the mo still a white belt (my 9 yr old is orange!) but love it!

my pleasure sir, you will not regret it! its not just about self defence either the art has changed lives!
sounds cheesy but its soo true!

Our Sensai has started to add self defence to Kata gradings, which considering a lot of the students are under the age of 16 i think is a good idea.

Lot's of people work between Christmas and New Year.
On the subject of Karate me and my son done it together for years. He was one of the youngest black belts in the history of the club at 13. It's hard work but well worth the effort.

Yes but unfortunately he gave up. The next grading for his second dan was when he was 16 so he had a three year wait, he thought it was too long a wait.

Likewise Andy. I'm well over £1k down on this month and I could do with making some of that up. In fact, I will be doing a commercial (non residential) job on Jan 1st too. It's only a couple of hours at most and I can do it any time of day. It does hinge on temperatures and the ability to get there of course.
Having said (written !!) that, amazing that it may seem, my quarterly figures are actually up on last years. My accounting year starts on October 1st and on 22/12, I reached the quarterly turnover figure that I had achieved by 31/12 last year. So I got to that figure about 5 working days earlier this year. I think that's remarkable considering how difficult the conditions have been since late November. So it's not all bad.

My lad has that problem. He does Budo Kempo Jujitsu and has since he was 4. He is a green belt now 8 and can't get another until he is 15.

Well, like Paul I view Weds to Fri as non-bank holidays but have (due to preparation and "getting on with it) just exceeded last years December total - so after five days off - not working today through choice - I might do Weds and Thursday as light days from say 10 am til 3pm on domestic.
-
Weather permitting I always plan to work between Christmas and new year. This year will be the same. If window cleaning is not viable then I have a customer who needs a helping hand in doing some jobs around the properties she owns, and she will be working on them over the holiday period, so at least there is some work I can do. :)

Ive been lucky the last few days with the weather but i will definately be out next week if i can just to get the round back up to date.
-
no, I would not clean but if some are getting well overdue i would leave them note to explain why ure late and that normal service will resume when weather allows
