Funny that

had one of worst days for a long time,  £90

4 first cleans spread all over, forgot to charge van mount last night was dead after first house, backpack went 2 houses later. 2 quotes i had promised so had to fly about for those. ended up doing a mixture of very slow, very slow  :D rinse and a bit of trad.
Horrible day, went thru a tenner of fuel as well lol. my own fault, thought hey friday would be good for quotes and doing these extremely spread out first cleans, nope it wasnt.


£350 is  a stonker of  day, never done that much i dont mind admitting, my best was a £270 by 2pm then ran out of work

I agree, its too hard work to hit those figures everyday, possible, but just cant be arsed.

Get someone else to do it  ;)

Well he said he was ready for a 2pm nap so he isn't working late is he?

Anyway I was mainly trying to ilustrate that I'm not far off of 60 and still able to work hard so not to worry.

I'm 55, 100% trad, but physically in reasonable nick, except that my knees are starting to go!

I regularly work 9-5+ as well as Saturdays (and from now until xmas, Sunday afternoons too).

I am a slowcoach though, so my figures, although I'm happy with them, are well down compared to those quoted.

John.

seriously adam?you should be in your prime at 35 years of age.do you suffer from health problems?

i dont blame you for wanting to get some staff or else you ll be knackered by the time you get to my age (46) if you stay on your own window cleaning.

whats your lifestyle like?do you smoke and drink and mainly eat junk food?if you cleaned your lifestyle up and ate better im sure you d have more energy.

you shouldnt be knackered and  ready for bed by 2pm IMO at your age. ::)roll :(

Wfp work is a lot harder than trad. Going up and down ladders kept you slim and in fit shape. Wfp your sort of just standing there moving only the top part of your body. I remember when i first started window cleaning trad i lost lots of weight. Went to wfp rhe weight crept back and fitness goes down the pan
