Re: 4 weekly or 8 weekly

No problem, I have customers on 4,6, 8, 12 and 26 weeks. George takes care of it. All I do is print off a sheet for the week and then go and do it.
It makes no difference, most of the time I am not even aware what frequency they are on.

Do you find itr can mean more travelling time though?
For instance, you could have some customers in a road on 4 weekly and a couple on 6 weekly.  It would mean that you sometimes have to go there just for the two customers.  Of course, if your work is all close to home this may not matter so much.


Yes it does mean more travelling but my round is pretty compact anyway. Virtually all my customers are within 1-2 mile radius of home.

1 - 2 miles eh?  No wonder you don't mind the frequencies being rather erratic.  If I worked my round the way you work yours, it would skint me because I need to travel much further.  Although there is a lot of compact housing in my home town, the vast majority of it is terraced where the only access would be through the house. When I first started (with trad) I did try to make a go of working that way but it proved impossible.  I decided to travel out further to where there were properties with decent access.
