Ive got two weeks solid work that will be a month over by the time its completed...but my customers are used to this and will be happy to see us as soon as we can get there.
-
I`m at least 2 weeks behind.
-

-
Same as....2 weeks + :(
-
a customer told me last week it had been 8 weeks 3 days since my last clean
which to be fair, is better than i thought, as i say " 6 - 8 weeks, closer to 6 "
take into account my 2 and a bit weeks of for christmas, im on time ;)
-

I am 84 houses behind! I was about 40 behind after X-mas but then I got tendonitis in my arm and had to rest it for a few days. Im back working since Monday but arm splinted up and only managing 10 houses a day max! :-[

No idea.
Maybe a week, maybe two weeks. ???
Who cares? Get to them when you get to them.
You're not going to lose any.
Most don't want it done that regularly anyway.
-
owing to xmas and weather 1 week behind
-
one day behind. :(

Squeaky although you sometimes come across as a miserable old fart you got that so spot on mate. ;D ;D ;D ;D

;D It's true though isn't it?
Why worry about being on time?
Customers always say "See you in about a month" or "See you next time then".
If they push for a day, I tell them I can't, because it only takes a washout the day before and they're put back a day.
The simple answer is "When I've done the house before yours"

2 days in front ;D

I agree with you on that squeaks, but 2 weeks late I would lose a stack load of money, and that is not an option from where I am sat.

Why would you lose money?
Do you give discounts of you're late? ???
If you're working every day you make the same money, doesn't matter which day you do it! ;D
-
Main round is 8 weekly, I am 13 days behind and it will take me t least a month to catch up. But I dont think you ever do catch up that ammount. Having George helps.
Just hope you dont get the sickness bug guys, did a nursing home today and its all over the walls and floors :-\ and they are locked in and us out.
-
Im 2 weeks behind and soon to be nearly 3 weeks if this weather doesn't improve.

Pretty likely, I work with the public (as we all do), I've got a daughter at school, and my missus works at a nursery.
Lots of people contact. :-\
Still, haven't heard of it much lately. Maybe it's dying out.

Once those 2 weeks have gone you can never recover them. Not noticable in the short term maybe but over the year, or come xmas, that's 2 weeks worth of money that should have been in your pocket.
The only way to bring it back in line is to go round say 3 weeks later next time instead of 4. But my customers wouldn't like that.

day in frount ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Why would I feel the need to have to "bring it back in line" now? ???
It's not going to get me any more money because I'm on time.

I caught the "norovirus" two or three years ago so I'm hoping that my body has learned to deal with that infection for a few years. The trouble with viruses though is that they tend to mutate so there aren't any guarantees.
