after reading post after post about back biting, sniping at each other ect I am starting to turn to negative thoughts about window cleaning (which is very unlike me), Maybe some of you can post some nice things about window cleaning and nice experiences on this post making others feel good is a great feeling :-X
My happy thought of today is I have just ply lined my new van and ordered the sign writting (anything that could go wrong did) but is all done now ;D

opened door today... side door... hose reel had come away whilst driving.... anyway, i opened the door .. bang.. the reel full of m,bore dropped, corner first , metal straight onto my foot... broken toe which healed in august... broke again....
but hey, still happy.... love my van (sort of).... love my work, love being free, and i love working outside and meeting people.... and i really really love not having a boss !!! ;)

Really under-priced a job the other day thought it would take 4 hours was there for 10.....the guy paid me double what I had quoted.
Who says all wealthy are b'stds?

Ok here is mine. Got up today dropped my employee off on a job that will earn his wage and me the wage I used to earn from my old boss. Took my little boy out for some breakfast then this afternoon going to do a job that will pay me doulbe what I used to earn a day at my old firm!
I love window cleaning and doing it for myself is even better. Ok we all have bad days but the good out way the bad by far in this job.

Had a puncture this morning, then one of my employees had to go to hospital this morning as he caught his finger on a skip, just had a row with the missus and she threw a dinner plate at me which smashed on the wall, i now have to try and remove the kethup off the wall!
has that cheered you all up as it did me? :'(
always look on the brightside, at least i don't have to give her any money for shopping now ;D

Line the van up on a row of identical houses, then reverse on to the drive - do the job then realise you backed on to the wrong drive because you forgot the mirrors make everything the other way round ::)

Tried collecting from a house I never cleaned. Looked the same though.

Hadn't cleaned since last Wed. Went out today. The sun shone all day. Everyone was delighted to have a clean (they are all monthly!!) and were happy. Did 5 new ones. All happy. Got paid by all but one. Had a pint on the way home. I was happy as the proverbial pig. It must be downhill from here on.. ;D ;D ;D

I have to say I've also cleaned the wrong house too - absolutely filthy first clean took me ages. Went by the number painted on the wheely bin - you can guess the rest. :'(

heres some positive thinking most of this year i haven't done more than 1 1/2 days window cleaning per week why? have finally go staff sorted van goes out and men do work had 3 weeks hols with my boy this year have just booked for blackpool with family. I always fancied retiring at 50 well i'll be 49 soon and I work from home now and pick up and drop my 5 year old to school most days. find i have to pinch myself some days. But then I have been in this game since i was 16 and left school with no qualifications. Moral of this story never quit there is light at the end of the tunnel but get smart
-
When i was first getting going, i went to the wrong house when i was collecting,luckily for me the didn't have a window cleaner and they set me on. ;D

ONLY 6 MORE LONG DAYS TILL I GET MY VAN MOUNT FITTED ;D THATS MY HAPPY THOUGHT FOR TODAY ;D
