Pick up new custom every week on average 2 or 3 jobs. 8 in one day is pretty good going :). Last few weeks round my way have been dry so did a few fascia and gutter cleans at end of last week instead of bringing work forward. Should have left them for tuesday as it chucked it down all day, sods law :(
