Title: 1st day back
Post by: Jay Le Huray on May 04, 2020, 01:56:59 pm: Well after 5 weeks of being indoors I started back to work today.
Worked 5 hours and picked up a new customer including cleaning their conservatory roof, one of my regulars wanted a quote for jet washing a wall so will be doing that job on my next visit.

All customers were pleased to see me (non cancelled) and waving at me through their windows with the kids along side them.

All in all a really nice day with no hassle from anyone am I'm glad I decided to go back I'm now even if I'm 5 weeks late.

1 customer told me today a woman she knows has got rid of her window cleaner because he’s refusing to work at the moment.

Told you so they still want them cleaning,if a nuclear ☢️ bomb dropped they’d still think where’s the window cleaner.
