Hi, Just organizing work on cleaner planner thinking about packing my days out with work brought forward to make the most money possible right up till christmas.
Anyone else doing a full day on the 24th?
-
no will have all mine done by 19 th ....... hopefully ........ bar 1 large house for half day Monday ... missus is working right up till 24 th so I will work if I get any last minute calls / one off's BUT will charge way over odds .... if I don't get the job then no problem ..... will be like a Christmas bonus for myself.
-
NO! ;D
Probably finish on the 19th (Friday) & start back on the 5th.
Might do the Monday (22nd) at a push but that would be it.
I look forward to two weeks off at xmas & new year- I deserve it!! ;D

Unless the weather stops me will be a full day like it is
for the majority in this country..then back to work on the 27th
29-31st then no work until Feb :)

No way! After the 19th its family time & I'm making the most of it!

no work till Feb :o

Nope, finish on 18th, spend Friday 19th with the franchisees in a restaurant then a pub and I'm off until January 12th. The way I organise my work that three week break will leave me exactly one week behind on my round.

If I could get away with working xmas day..i would, I have no religious
belief, my lads have grown up and rightly do their own thing and if have
the family come round after a few hours my dad and myself get fed up
and generally go fishing.
xmas day has little or no meaning to me but then again I have January off
so I get the best of it :)

DG don't be a dipstick mate. ;D...ive had loads of great Christmases with my
kids over the years but like I said they have grown and its through the kids
I enjoyed it..little or no point to it for me now and when the family come
round and my sisters have had a few sherbets believe me you would want to get
out the way and its far more enjoyable on the riverbank enjoying a nip with the
old man and enjoying the peace and quiet.
If or when the grandkids arrive no doubt I will find it fun again but
at the moment I would be just as happy working or fishing.

Its only taken 11 months and 1 week but garry999's first sensible post of the year.

That's a bit unfair Scrooge McSoupy. I feel you may have overlooked his post from April 27th. His impersonation of a sheep was spot on and the perfect reply to social media in pubs.
Gary people dont have to be on facebook for hours in a pub? You scroll down check if you have notifications thats it? Takes about 30seconds lol
Part of the banter in pubs sometimes is laughing at those people you speak of who updates everything they do etc
Sorry matey but when im out im too busy having a good time
to even think about checking facebook ;D
Im afraid you are one of the many sheep out there ;D
Try it for a week,go out with your mates take your phone switch
it off though and see if you an resist the temptation to have a look
i guarantee you will be missing nothing if you do or you will confirm
yourself as a brainwashed sheep if you cant resist.
Me thinks the latter ;D
I tried this when i ran out of 4g this week.... And i had to buy a internet booster haha
BBBBAAAAAAA!!!! ;D
-
Sensible!!!!!.....how very dare you...I have never been
so insulted >:(
-
ive worked xmas eve til about 1pm lots of years.never had a problem.i wont be this year though.you tend to get a few more tips as well.

ill shut up shop on 23rd dec and go back on monday 5th jan.a full 12 days off.plenty of food,laughter and meeting up with old friends/family and just generally enjoying the time off away from window cleaning. :)

"My wife is from your neck of the woods.

I just call myself ,Nick Burton window cleaning services and no , all my works within a 3 mile radius of home, which is great efficiency wise but miss being in your area. When at anglian water, Stamford , deeping and bourne were my patch plus all the wonderful villages out that way, absolutely loved it.

Looking forward to a rest.

Working a normal day on the 24th. Also working between Christmas and New Year (probably starting a bit later though as many custies on holiday).
I wanted some time off but vehicle problems and working more slowly due to backpacking it have sdeen me slide further behind with the work - not to mention the additional costs of possible vehicle repair and hiring a van.
-
Last day today quite windy out there but needs must. Most jobs booked in.

I can understand the sisters bit.
We get far too many ordinary days throughout the year so make the most of it.
Christmas morning park run will get you into it ;D
If or when the grandkids arrive no doubt I will find it fun again but
at the moment I would be just as happy working or fishing.
