Grim Reaper: " Well Gold your time has come, the cord is about to be cut and it's time to die, grow cold and slowly rot until you go up the chimney a week later at the local crem. If there was one thing about your life you could have changed what would it be?"

Gold: "Darn! If only I had spent more time at work! Especially on a Saturday!"

It's a game of three halves!

I didn't realize that it has become compulsory to work Saturdays if one has to avoid being labelled as lazy! For all you know I might work hard all week!

That said, I work maybe 3 out of 4 Saturday afternoons for around 3-4 hours  (the mornings are reserved for the 'more important things'.

I do however reserve the right to choose how and when I conduct my business  :)

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 think its maybe a souther thing starting after 10?

No I wont, I allow for rainy periods, Ive got money put by for that ta muchly.

If it rains next week my concerns wont be financial, theyll be about getting motivated for when things are more suitable.

I do saturdays if needed.

Can't see how you can work in the rain.

O.k, dodge in out of showers, very light rain maybe.

Pi55ed down nearly all day this friday; week before thurs and friday.

I always thought base your earnings on 4 day week, so you nearly always hit your o.t.e

i.e 6 potential work days a week (not sunday).

Unfortunately i have to do alot of school runs, it always seems to rain on thurs and fri when i have no school runs to do ;D

I just can't see how you can work in the rain, and how customers willing have windows done.

It's like the thermo pure systems; not saying there good; but one of their selling points they like to push is work even in snow.

If the snow is bad like last winter then how are you gonna get to your custies?
you might smash your van up on the way to em.
Can imagine a lot of knock backs fom custies in snow as well as rain.

Our business is a very good one but unfourtanately like everything else it's not perfect, if it was everyone would be doing it :D
