do many of you guys work between during crimbo and new year?
-
i finish next wednesday and then have the followin wk of,and start the first monday in juanuary :) got to have a week off! plus dont think custies u'll want u workin and collectin durin crimbo and new year :D
-
Working between Christmas and new year, I stopped trying to think what the custies think. Same with working in rain, I used to think they wouldn't want windows done in rain, I was wrong, they don't care really. If you want to work or need to work, then do it. Don't try and second guess your custies mate, that can cost you money.
-
I'm working Mon/Tues/Wed (hopefully!)
-
I am going to try as hard as I can to have 10 days off from working
-
i always have a week off at xmas time for the festivities and family go back jan 4th ho ho ho! ;)

As usual I wanted a few days off and, as usual, I won't get them. Not to worry. Maybe next year :)

My view exactly. While it's good to be able to empathise with a customer, I learned long ago that to get anywhere, you have to stop thinking like one.

working mon . tue.wed. then off till 4th jan ;D
-
If I don't work the mon, tues, wed then I'll just end up getting fed up and argue with the kids. For my own sanity I'll work
-
i tried to work a few years ago between xmas and new year a few years ago and hated it. its the only time of the year we get to shut down totally and i enjoy it very much. We all need to switch off sometimes mine is over the xmas period...bring it on
-
i always used to try to ,but couldnt get motivated and looked for ways not to,so i take that problem away now as this will be our 3rd succesive xmas in Cyprus,nice bit of sun to make starting in Jan feel better
-
im out at 3am tomorrow hope i can clean, thats if i can get the van out of my road we have snow and ice in out closes and live on an hill that dont help matters if i cant clean outside of building i can clean inside so they can sigh my paperwork most customers understand as long as you let them know :)
-
this might be the first time since i started work that i get out for 1 or 2 days between
-
off xmas day till 29th then back to work till new year :)
-
Xmas is a time to spend with the family. Finish on the 23rd then back on the 4th .
I would not like people calling around my house at Xmas window cleaners or anyone
-
looks like ive broke up already if the weather has its way its been snowing all afternoon now its turning really cold had the heater in the van all day but the pipes have frozen not looking good!
-
Xmas is only a few days for many people nowadays.Retailers are all open again after boxing day,many open on boxing day,so i dont see what the differance is.
If you need to work go for it,i like the chance to catch up with some of my customers that i rarely see during the year.
-
i will have to work, don't know if i will be out due to snow to risky slips and trips. So back at it 29th of dec till 31st off 1st jan.
If the custy doesn't want you there they can tell you and miss ago, i need the money.
Someone pulled a face at me on thurs cos i was cleaning her windows, said it was too cold for window cleaning,
I just smiled and said it weren't that bad, think she had the ump with parting with £20 week before crimbo.
someone else said to me "i thought you'd pack up in winter"
just smiled and said the RBS want the mortgage all year round.
AS cozy and leapstallbuidings say if you want to work then work.
I wouldn't work the on the mon 28th as this is an extra hol due to boxing day being on weekend, and wouldn't work new years day.
you'd be surprised the amount of peole who work the inbetween days. (in all trades, jobs)
We wouldn't go out much at all if we listen to the custy.
Not in winter
not if it looks like it might rain
not if it's cold
not on a saturday
not on bank hols
not too early
not too late.
Just sunny nice days between 10am and 4pm ;)
-
I've been told that the 4th is a bank holiday due to Boxing day falling on the Saturday.Is that correct???
-
i thought if boxing day is on weekend it's the next working day becomes public hols i.e mon 28th dec
-
Your right Lee,its the 28th. :)
-
I'l cheerish that, i'm rarely right :D
-
i thought if boxing day is on weekend it's the next working day becomes public hols i.e mon 28th dec
next year xmas day and boxing day are both weekend making the mon and tues bank hols and new years day on a sat making mon 3 jan a bank hol as well
-
great for the employed
not the self employed :'(
gonna save for some rainy days and snowy ones next year.

I may well work the 28th anyway if the temperature allows me. When I work between Xmas and New Year, I tend to start a bit later as it's like a week of Sundays for some people.
