wel some of you will remmber my end of a era post last year
well from today, im now a window cleaner part time again, my wife started work again, so im looking after our little baby again
so my working week is back down to 3 days a week ( and a few hours very early on the weekend )
i know ive been down on window cleaning and knocked it a fair few times, but hey, its not all bad, i get to watch No2 daughter grow into a little girl :)

If you've got a concentrated round I reckon you can earn almost as much doing a 3 and a half day as you can if you have to drive from job to job over 5 days.
Mind you with the poxy weather of late I'm on 3 day weeks ::)

Good on yer matt, i actually reduced my hours from working all and sundry for someone else, to setting up on my own and reducing my hours ;D missed 15 years of watching my daughter grow up, the old saying work to live, not the other way round.

One of my custy's had twins and put a sticker in the car "Once I had time - now I have twins!" Thought it was funny until my wife fell pregnant with - gues what ? TWINS!!
As we already had a small boy - 3 under 3 was tough. Window cleaning is much easier!!
that was 13 years ago now they are all teenagers!! AAGGH!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good on you Matt

3 days are nice when the weather is kind, when its not, i just fall behind ;)
imho the ideal round would be 4 working days a week, you have a day for rain OR you have friday off and have fun

This is what I do, and I love it. Today I'm baking bread to cover the next month of work when i won't get a chance to make any.
If i buy bread, it's for the ducks.
