When you've done any canvassing /advertising or maybe a website post, do you recommend that customers lock up their daughters ;D

Worst memory, probably joining this forum.

Best, going WFP.

Yes the weather was bad....I'd just gone wfp too and had 10 barrels frozen solid in the back of my old kangoo!.....but I was ok....ended up having around 3 weeks off altogether so not a total disaster....

Six weeks we were off.

The snow. I remember it well. It was mental on here then; not as bad as this one but still mental.
I had a month off; it was great.

But it worked for me.
Thank for the image, Daz. I never thought that I'd get aroused by a skint, cold window cleaner getting a taxi to work.
Was it a private hire? Was he wearing a gilet and reeked of smoke and you were wearing your pouches?

Best memory was probably the day I sacked off my part time job and went full time on the glass.
Was like wow I'm really doing this :D I'd always had minimum wage jobs and never thought I could have my own business.
Worst memory was doing a big commercial office insides. It took all day and I had to work round everyone at their desks. Had to wait for meetings to finish to go in certain rooms. Had to cone off certain areas as I went. All the faff getting the paper work ready and getting it signed off, emails back and forth.. I undrpiced it as well.. all that for about £150!. It gives me shivers thinking about it now, I was red hot, riddled with anxiety. What a horrible job that was. Took 2 months to get paid as well. Since then I've never done any commercial or internals.

Worst was the 1st clean I ever did. Think I manged to do everything I could possibly do wrong. Huge house, all leaded, working off dodgy ladder, thought I'd squeegy it, had to rag it, didn't do enough research, knew 10mins in I'd made a huge mistake with the price, I ended up earning about £2.50 an hour, arms were killing me, discovered I really don't like heights. It's a miracle I pursued a career in shining after that experience but I learnt quickly and showed a bit of determination. The best is knowing on a daily basis, no matter how bad a day I'm having is that I'm my own boss, no answering to anybody else, worth it's weight in gold.

a few years ago when we had a really bad winter I was driving the van up a slight hill in the snow and ice when all of a sudden the wheels lost grip and the van started to roll back down the hill.
there was nothing I could about it and it ended up smashing into the side of a car, suffice to say I lost my no claims bonus that year
-
My best and worst memory together
The very first windows I cleaned a lady came out and said I haven't had them cleaned in 37 years thank you very much I have been sick and closed the curtains iam now ok she died last year sadly after being on my round from the beginning
When I do a one off or first clean and someone says there in a mess I haven't had them cleaned in ages I give the 37 years story
I will never forget that lady top class
-
Worst. Coming off the ladder, breaking my leg and ankle as a result.
Best was probably securing an £8000 one off school clean in London.

so we were responsibly leaving the van running in a really posh area cleaning a house, car pulls up two guys jump in and drive off hoses attached and everything, that was the worst day ….. van abandoned down the road no keys and iPhone but that was still great

Why on earth did you leave the van running?
