I did one last sunday.

The chaps wife had died the friday night before  :-\

He wanted the windows cleaned before guests arrived to pay their condolences. He had someone in to vacuum and clean the inside rooms too.

Wants me back next time too  ;)

I wont say no to someone willing to pay, so long as there is no footy that i want to watch on.

people are starting to see Sunday as just another day, the only advantage to a Sunday would be that you would be seen by the neigbours and more work might come your way.

I've only worked one Sunday, and that was for some mates that i couldn't get to anyother time, a guy I had worked in the P.O. walked past as I did the job, and shouted something about times being hard if i needed to work. I just smiled to myself, at how hard my work life was next to his.

maybe we should work the odd Sunday to put the beer money boys off :D

I have never worked a sunday and never will.
Sundays always used to be a day of rest.

I do a couple of pubs on a Sunday morning.  They open later so I can get them done.  Plus it ls always a crafty couple of pints away from the missus.

Personally, I wouldn't be happy having a tradesman in or around my property on a Sunday unless I specifically requested it.

I've never worked a Sunday since becomming a window cleaner and never will.
