i made £14 in my first week but stuck with it , it took around 3 months before i started to make any decent money but i would let it get me down ;D
-
I never forget my first day, it took me over a hour to clean a 3bed house for £8.00 :P I thought this is going to be hard work and could see me getting no where fast. Due to having a full time job and starting this part time to build a round up i only had 5 houses.which took me ALL day but it was a start and looking back now i wished i had started this 15 years ago!!
So first week pay £40.00

i remember making £50 a day when i started and i was like "yeh im in the money here" at 18

Pretty much the same for me. Started part time and made the sum of £42 on the first day. ::)
Still, I stuck with it and have gone full time within a year. Wish I had done it years ago. :-\

My first day I made precisely £0 - in fact it cost me money due to diesel etc.
didn't give up though and now have 2,514,786.3 customers.

I can't recall exactly but I know my first few weeks were under around £50 and I made sure I did them all in one day. I know this because I was still legally allowed to claim 5/6 of my non-means tested unemployment benefit and the cut-off point was just over £50. Didn't take too long to start exceeding it though and come off the UB.

my first week was £45 , it was a bungalow inside out inc conservatory it was the reason i decided to go with it, don't make loads now but i have work booked in every day now.
very happy and have more free time as a winow cleaning than when i was working in the print industry

My first day was £21 quid for 2 houses which I think took me about 2 hours and at the end of the week I had cleaned 6 houses and earned £113.
How I look back and hope no-one remembers me doing them as it must have looked like a comedy show of errors with all the new gear and absolutly no idea.

I dont know whats funnier, the 2.5 million customers or the fact that you also have have .3 of a customer, i suppose every little helps when your are obviously struggling to find enough work:)

Hi Sean
Got probably too many customers now!! Between the 4 of us we get through around 800 domestic customers and a further 150 commercial customers each month - many of our jobs are very small (between £6 and £10).
That .3 of a customer is probably a front only.
