good luck to matey,i made the leap six weeks ago-people said that it was the wrong time etc-stuff em get wrapped up get some decent gloves(and some spare when there wet)and go for it be cheerfull and smile even when its bloody freezing,speak to people as you work i gain loads of work that way-its suprising even with all the leaflet drops etc that some people don't have a windie or are looking for one-or know someone who wants one,if you clean near schools-clean them at school pick up time/maybe a sign outside the house if you don't have a van,basicly what works for me is get noticed/use your round to get noticed at certain times of day/speak to everyone you see-sell yourself.its not instant work but it will come-oh packing the job in-best thing i ever did should have done this years ago
