If I ever get downtime I spend it on building my business - improve my websites, write blog posts, update social media, design print ads, work in improving my own skills,...

Of course if I ever have quiet time and the weather  is nice, everything above goes out the window & I often just play with my hobbies (RC planes & multicopters) and then take the kids somewhere nice after school.  ;D ;D

well Chunky.. if you give yourself the choice.... bet you go fishing then come back lie on the sofa and eat lots of biscuits...

Gotta say - the weather is the only bit of window cleaning that I don't miss,.. I don't miss it one bit!  ;D

I sat in my warm, dry office this afternoon looking out at the rain, building a website for a bloke in Manchester & designing a flyer to advertise my new pay weekly website offerings to local businesses & even got to finish up early and do a lovely home-made shepherds pie for dinner. I miss window cleaning in the summer, but not today!
