you work the days that suit you, just remember to take the time off that suits you too.
9 to 5, mon to fri work is not what it used to be and more people are working a different 5 out of 7 days.
I don't work Sat if i can avoid it, as we have it as the one day we do family stuff, but in the end it's just another day. ;)

Saturdays are good days for gaining work because you get seen by the householders who are normally out. Horrible day to work if you've already got a half decent round though. Cars parked everywhere, access issues and people wanting a lay in.

Saturdays are a great day to work,I find that more people are in=payment recieved.I have picked up plenty of new business working Saturdays due to more people being in and seeing a window cleaner on the street.Go for it. ;)

I always work a Saturday until around lunchtime and it's not for the customers benefit.

On a Saturday morning I have 2 options:

1. Get dragged to Asda or Tescos for the weekly shop or...

2. Get the ladders out and earn a few £

Tough call ;D
