It seems one or two have split up..... do you think working together really is good for you?,.... i love my girl to bits but i know she would not work with me... too embarrassed i dare say... but she wont say that herself..... you know when you know lads right? ;)

Wor Lass was trudging round a building site yesturday doing a couple of builders cleans, wearing a hard had and high viz vest.

She's only 5' 1" tall and weighs just over 8 stone (she runs marathons and lifts weights; so she's no softy), but she did feel embarrassed with all these big burly builders watching her.

Also women often have a lower earnings expectation than men generally and would be prepared to bring prices down to get work.

 :o :o no way  ;D

we work together as a partnership. On the road hubby is the boss, in the office wifey is the boss. You have to have a really strong relationship and would suggest that if your personal relationship is prone to arguments, then think deeply before committing to 24/7. I can do highrise wfp (but prefer not to) I can and do work alone at times (but prefer not to). Sometimes the benefit of being the "mouthpiece" is clear to see, sometimes it does not help as some custies think women can't clean windows....but that is their opinion. all in all it works well.

my missus is taking more responsibilities with my company. all the general data input, banking and some of the organisation side. I'm hoping to get a unit and office to work from this year so i'm sure she will get more involved in the customer service side also.

She did help me one or two days on the actual cleaning side but it nearly killed her ;D ;D i did chuck her into helping on 4 big hotels in 1 day. she loved it!! ;D ;D

Hmm, might be an idea, get the missus working for me on the office side of things. Deal with paperwork, bills, telephone calls, canvassing, leaflet drops etc, and help out now and then on 2 man (er sorry i mean person) jobs.

brill thread!

to late now coz we have the baby but i just told Mrs about this thread and she said that would of be great to work together.

she worked at the R.S.P.C.A full time as a fully trained vet nurse for minimum wage. why shouldn't a woman do our job? after all in involves speed, planning, skill and a level head among other attributes. women have them in abundance for 3 weeks of the month!
