Well done all of us Reading this. We've made it through the toughest winter.
Hands & Wallets still intact, the sun is shining & the Daffies are on the way.
There's nothing now in the way to a building a solid, good business.

And there's nothing like window cleaning in the summer!

That's it Dean, go and spoil it ;D

I lost 2 days where I just couldn't work. I'd ask my wife to pat me on the back, but I'd know what she'd say right now.
Only those who risk going too far will truly know how far they can actually go

Made it through my first winter, lost a few days, but not many. Not sure how bad the winter was compared with others you have experienced over the years, but pleased I got through it and stuck to my guns. Hopefully things can only get better with regards to weather. Thoroughly enjoying it still, best move I ever made. WFP is fantastic . Loving my job (how sad is that !!....lol ).

Looking to get van sign written now its back from bodyshop and more customers.


oh, and a BIG thank you to all the help received from people on here. It is honest to say, if it hadn't been for the advice from people on here..........I wouldn't have known where to start.
Cleanit has given me good advice and saved me money.

If Carlsberg made window cleaners....I'd be one of them....lol

It's been a long one, worst I've known in 7 years of winow cleaning

But it's nearly, nearly over.

At least it's daylight when I leave for work now  ;D

Thank goodness for SAE payments in new year as saving pot was starting to run low over Xmas & new year. Still 1 week behind with work. Will be glad to catch myself up. Lost 2 customers and gained 1 and 2 big commercial ones pus I increased most prices by £1 so I'm happy :)
