Just wondered how many of you work with your partner/spouse. I couldn't do it myself as I prefer time away etc. Plus what do you chat about in the evenings if your together 24/7. This is just an observation not a dig at anyone by the way!!

no way , comeing home to her is bad enough ;D

I worked with my Mrs and loved it.
Put it this way,if she is going to work,unless she has some kind of professional qualifications, your joint income can be a lot higher if she's window cleaning.
Better than working in Tescos for £6 an hour.
I did let her stay in the van with the heater running when it was too cold for her though, but at the time she had only just come here from Indonesia.
She stopped working 4 years ago when the kids came, my customers still ask after her every month.

Yep, we pull up to a property and we both go our separate ways.  When we're actually working we don't really work together - as in the same physical location - though we're never that far from each other.  And she only works 3 or 4 days per week.

On some jobs, such as offices and factory units, she starts inside while I do the outside - and that's great.

She's been window cleaning for about 8 years now and we generally work together well as a team.

As for home life, well she's got her things and I've got mine.  She's a runner, so she's always out running somewhere or competing in some race.

I can't say it's always easy - she regularly has her 'mad week' - and we've fought and argued and I've sacked her and she's told me to shove the job up my ass, but after a few years we've both settled down and we work well together.

My good lady wife has worked with me in the past, and it worked pretty well. Many of my customers still ask after her. Unfortunately she has carpal tunnel syndrome in both hands at the moment. When she has had it sorted we are planning to work together again. Happy days ahead!
