I don`t think so. If they do, they`ll get over it.
You could tell them they can pay you for not cleaning them. That way, you get home earlier and you still earn. Some of them are getting paid and not working.

best time to catch them all in to pay/pick up new work is a bank holiday.
Im due to start but weve had a light covering of snow (work alone) and its a bit slippy

I'm off to the workshop this morning, get the vans started up, check equipment and stock in each van and sort out rounds for tomorrow.

Basically at the moment we have just about everything due as the last real work we did on the windows was on 9th December!!

I started back last Tuesday. Apart from a couple of 'not todays', it was alright.

I will be going out at around 10:00 this morning. The custys I am doing today will be pleased to see me.

Best wishes all,

John.

I worked last week, 3 days. I hate working knowing my lads are at home eating mince pies whilst on full pay. ha ha

We never work bank holidays though, I have to give them 28 days holiday a year and bank holidays count towards that so better having them off than risk upsetting the customer.

I ended up doing a commercial job this afternoon that has to be done out of hours.  I was going to do some domestics too but just didn't fancy it in the end.  There was a light dusting of snow starting as I began the job.

Earnt a ton.

Or is it tonne nowadays?

Commercial job that needs doing at weekends. Nice to get out there, like Paul, we had some snow coming down throughout the morning, was nice to get out and flex my adjustable appendage. Not used it in a while.
