wcpro says overdue work £2,300.

When i started back on jan4 i was really depressed.I find the work very hard, it was freezing cold and can't get anyone to help me.New customers are always ringing and it just feels like a tread mill.I wish i could be like you guys and be more cheerfull.

The physical side is harder than i like, and sorting the work out is stressfull.I know it's the same for all of us but this job can be a slog.

i can honestly say i had my best january ever! ;D ;Dthe weather stayed reasonably fine for working.no freezing weather!and now all caught up!!

i love my job and dont take it for granted.their is a lot of people who would love to be in our position!regular income,flexi time,no boss breathing down our necks etc.

sheesus slumps!!have you been working 6 days a week for the last month and you still £2,300 BEHIND?

i wasnt depressed at the start of january after all the snow and xmas break actually i was raring to go!took a few days to get stuck in then ive been flying for the last few weeks and a lot of customers have payed promptly with minimum debt and collecting to do.

wfp has certainly made a big difference to my working life thats for sure!! :D :D


best wishes to you all

i find that window cleaning is one of the least stressful jobs!if you want a day off!!just do it!! ;D ;Dif you want to start late/finish early.DO IT!


sounds like you need to sell a bit of your work on slumpy or go down the route of employing.


what do you want out of your business and life?

i dont mind working hard in all weathers, ive been doing it all my life but also its important for me to be able to chill out and have some time off from window cleaning.

regards

really easy for me to catch up .... i just redate everything in George so no problem at all  ;D ;D .... but seriously i caught up end of last week but due to being so far behind ive reorganised my round so less double journeys a few days apart so now got gaps which im slowly filling with new work ... the dec / jan bad weather had a silver lining after all but would have preferred the income though  ::)

I would of been caught up by Monday, But had a day off today cos i am bone idle  :P I will be caught up by Wednesday next week I should think, and then I should easily finish next weeks work by Friday. Then if i do i have nothing for week after so will canvass. Will see if I get done next week first though!

I will be ack on schedule midweek, weather permitting.

I only work in drizzle.
worked quite a few saturdays lately.

Finished earlier this friday and not worked saturday, do have cold that won't shift, so trying not to feel too guilty.
