So far behind 'cos I got too much work in the summer (and the bad weather) that I decided to work this morning and try to catch up- great, except I picked up five new jobs in the first hour cleaning  ::)
Turned one down 'cos I didn't really fancy it but took the others on because they were all in the same street.

My tip to anyone short of work - get out there and clean on a sunny Saturday morning, chuck your leaflets in the bin and save your money for something worthwhile.

Sod's law isn't it?  ;D
I do that too - work a Saturday in an area where I would like more work.  People see you working who wouldn't normally see you.

And here in London...I'm weeks and weeks behind but if somebody comes up to me and wants 'em done I know I should say "no" but it always comes out as "yes"  ;D
