Yeh, rained off.  It looks nice out there now, but it'll be chucking down again in ten minutes.

I think I'll go and abuse myself!

I carried on, but I had some huge velux windows to do and they were the first I'd done. Every time I turned them back, the water poured down leaving runs.  :-[

Always an option, but you can't do that for 8 hours, can you?!

Two first cleans this afternoon and that was it. Behind by a couple of days now but I just need one good week and I'll have got ahead again.
It's a game of three halves!

Although not working yet i was wondering how many would still be cleaning today. this was one thing that worried me about starting up, can you still get a regular income in winter when it generally rains most of the time?

The sad answer is that some carry on regardless, and annoy their customers, but the rest of stop work and pray for sunshine.

why would it annoy customers doing there windows surely its better than having to call them and say sorry cant do them today because of whether be round when the weather eases off.

There was only the odd light shower here but it was pretty windy.  I had mostly commercial bits and pieces to do today anyway plus an inside clean.
