I will be working on Saturday and Monday but not Friday or Sunday.  When I work domestic on a Sunday or a bank holiday, I wait till about 10 before I start as some people like a lie-in.

I am laying a new floor in the kitchen over Easter so the question doesn't arise for me this year but in general any weekend is prime window cleaning time.
So many people have busy lives and work all week so its hard to know when they will be in. Weekends are the only time to get access to the back of their house.

I treat it as overtime, I don't actually say it but I let them feel I am doing it as a favour to them. Actually I like scooting round doing a few houses on a Sunday morning, It seems easier somehow and if I stay home the wife finds me jobs to do. Also I take my 11 year old apprentice out with me and he "helps".

Don't you lot have lives outside of work?

There's more to life than making a few more quid.
Enjoy yourselves sometimes, relax, unwind...
You'll have short lives.

Tragic. ::)

Well I get a 10 days - 2weeks off in every six weeks so I guess doing a bit some weekends is OK.   :)
