Anything more than a week or two out is about as reliable as Crystal Ball gazing.

I think 🤔 someone on here once said, I allow for 2 weeks of disruption through winter ❄️

It’s just not funny when it happens either side of Christmas 🎄

Can’t remember the exact years
Maybe 🤔 winter dec -Feb-09-10 , 10-11,  11-12 lots of snow ❄️⛄️

I live in Essex/ Waltham Abbey

One year it did snow ❄️ either side of Xmas
and I lost a month’s money 💰

I had vertigo attack last January thought I was having a stroke (never experienced before)
waited 1 1/2 hours for an ambulance 🚑

That’s now record time 🕰️🤦‍♂️😥
Night in hospital on a drip 💧 and 2  weeks of work.

Shaking like a jelly when back to work 😁
After 2 weeks recommended sick leave.

I’ll just take it as it comes, nothing else you can do.

Life is full of surprises 🫢

Not always good 🤦‍♂️

Merry Christmas 🎄 everyone and a happy and prosperous new year 🥳

Looks like I’m rained off
Last week lost to snow ❄️

This week
Tu. We  thu work ☔️☔️

Or your predictions of all our work collapsing  as October was going to be ... ... 'shhhhhhhhhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit'  ;D

I don’t worry, I’ve had enough tips to keep me going ‘till March.
Anything after that and I’ll dip into my massive savings pot.

I bumped into another window cleaner in the barbers the other day and he was moaning about not being able to work for the last 8 days due to frozen equipment and broken filters....he also doesn't work when it's raining....

Some guys just never learn(he's been window cleaning for years too)....

Be prepared or prepare to fail....

1.IMO every wfp cleaner should have the ability to heat their water whether its via immersion,diesel or aquarium heater and/or some form of heater overnight in the back of their van.this will prevent 99% of equipment problems in freezing weather.

2.save an emergency fund of at least 6 months bill money in case you really can't work for whatever reason(weather,injury,illness,etc)

3.work in the rain,customers get used to it and most won't mind(skip the ones that do).

It was, where did I say our work would "collapse"?

Anyway, have a good Christmas Jack.

Too many Mystic Megs on here looking  into the future with their crystal balls, when in reality they haven't got a clue.
