« on: October 01, 2010, 08:53:50 am »
ive noticed that some of you dont work saturdays.how come?

i try not to work them if possible but wednesday it peed down all day and today is a washout so ill be catching up tommorrow(its going to be dry).

over the course of a year you ll be losing a fair bit of money lads!unless you have a small part time round.

i start no earlier than 10am and work until about 4pm-430pm


IMO we have enough bad weather days off in the week sometimes!

i think its criminal to have a saturday off if you have work to do and its dry!!! :D ;D ;D ;D

HOW COME.... thats easy i just dont.... ive done far to many weekends in my time i spend time at home with my family now life is far to short i work to live not live to work. in my opinion if i cant earn enough in 5 days then i will change my job choice ok its raining to day that means i get to take and pick up my little one from play school some thing i never did with the others so i enjoy it

More to life than just work. Work is just a means to pay the bills to live your life

I need to work Saturday daz, Do not like doing them but needs must. I worked Wednesday in the pouring rain doing 2 conny roofs and a gutter/fascia clean, Got drenched.
Missed out on working yesterday in lovely weather as had to get car MOT'd and then taxed, Was going to work in the afternoon but as I was putting stuff away from car I found my van MOT slip and it had run out on 17th September!!! So had to get that sorted then. I bought the van in November and could or sworn it had 12 months test on it  ::)

Starting your day's work 2 hours earlier would give you an extra 8 hours work in 4 days, meaning no more Saturdays for you either  ::)

I tend to do new ones on a Saturday.  This way, you canhave a chat to the customer and not feel like you have got to rush off to keep up with the days schedule.

I also work them if I lose 2 days a week due to the weather (like today).

I worked weekends for 25 years in previous employment. I take the chance to not work as much as I can and spend time with my family. I missed all their early years doing that.

I still do the odd one, but it suits me to do a few hours early on a Saturday once every 4 weeks.

I recently started working 2 Saturdays per month either due to new custies or weather being poope in week like today.
I'm also going to Ibiza on Tuesday (my 3rd holiday abroad this year) So need to put enough in bank to cover my dd's.

I enjoy working on saturdays its not a full day start about 10:30 - 11:00 until 4 or 5  I used to keep it as a catch up day but as taking on more work slowly turned into a normal day. It also seems to be the best day for picking up work people at home and see you about and cars driving by stopping and asking to go give them a quote
My mrs goes out shopping with the kids and there gran on saturday for the best part of the day so im better off working each to there own
