Hi all,
Having a push with residential canvassing tomorrow, how early does anyone think is acceptable to start knocking. 9 am ?? bearing in mind its a saturday.
-
10.30 on a Saturday at the earliest, id start at 11, youve got loads of hours to get in due to the lighter evenings
-
Spoke with a m8 who used to do canvassing and he said best get outa the traps early on a saturday, so i'm thinking 9.30 start.
-
If they answer the door in their pj's you'll know it's too early ;)
-
If you knock on my door at 9.00 am tomorrow morning, I'll knock you out! (Depending on how big, mad, and daft you look; I'm not that stupid). ;D
-
well we'll be on the domestics tomorrow from about 9.30, I think thats late enough to start but then I sleep for about 2hrs each night so anytime is a good time for me.
oh that reminds me Tosh, I went to the doccy about my sleep, or lack of, heart rate, blood pressure etc all good, blood pressure was 124/68 and heart-rate was 66bpm - fit as a butchers dog!! said not to worry about not sleeping like most people, I have to say it does get bit lonely being on your own when the wife is fast asleep but its hilarious EVERY morning when I wake her up with a cold face-cloth, loud noises etc

The human body is a strange thing isn't it? I've really abused mine and I'm relatively fit and healthy (though I am a non drinker and smoker now), yet Wor Lass who runs marathons and has never smoked and rarely ever drinks (and then only one-or-two; the weirdo) suffers with high blood pressure.
She's gotten quite cross with me over that in the past. ;D
Only two hours sleep a night is mental though.
A friend of mine (a serious Boodhist practitioner) is suffering with insomnia at the mo, and he's having quite a rough time of it and it has triggered depression in him in the past.
-
yeah I don't think its insomnia as such with me in the sense of wanting to sleep but not being able to, I'm reasonably happy not sleeping but it does get a bit tedious, often I want to sleep just to get the night time darkness over with.
Apparently drinking warm milk/horlicks helps - but not for me it doesn't. don't get me wrong, some nights I will sleep or 5 or 6 hrs but thats no more than once a fortnight.
-
try a bit of night nurse. :P
-
Whilst cleaning domestics many years ago - we always started at 8 am, Saturdays about 10 past 8 just in case.......................
-
one tip about sleeping don't eat anything before you go to bed, after 6 7 pm . because your system is trying to digest keeps you awake
-
Had to call it all off today - couldn't sleep last nite >:( ;D
-
Well I start cleaning windows on Saturday mornings between 8am and 9am so I would imagine 9am would be ok to start canvassing, but its up to you when, if you was in there shoes would you like someone to be knocking at your door.? ;D ;D
As I have seen milkman knock just before 9am for there money. ;D ;D

Hemp is the cure...research it for yourself.
