Curious to know how many will be working tomorrow on RESIDENTIAL work?

Debating going out for a few hours to catch up a bit more, and could do with the extra pound notes as have one VERY expensive few months coming up.

If I was the customer, I wouldnt be annoyed if my window cleaner turned up, providing it wasnt 8am.

Views please?

Normal day for us; if we don't work tomorrow we'll end up having to do it on Saturday so yes we'll be doing domestic work along with some commercial stuff.

[matthewprice]

we will be out

Would you have pre-arranged these jobs your going on, or just turn up, as all my work I just turn up to?

[spudd]

Personally im making the most of time off, then hitting it hard from Tuesday..

Not sure what customers would say but each to there own though I suppose   

[stuart mc]

I am out on residential, start a bit later though

[Smudger]

have worked b/h many times - either catch up or 1 off cleans - customers don't mind one bit
( some love the fact your just the poor old windy in need of a few quid   )

this year with all the dry weather + staff i have managed the whole 4 days off !

yep I am out altho starting a little later then usual

[dazmond]

no way for me.all bank holidays are spent with family and friends.plenty of other time to catch up and hammer my workload.

i simply cant sustain window cleaning 5-6 days a week every week.it would do my head in these days.ill be hammering it from tueday though as ive had 10 days off!!

no full weeks off until august now though!!

[Ronnie Bryce]

Get stuffed, not for me that. You are a long time dead.

[Gav Camm lammy 283]

self employed working for yourself
isnt like working for mitie ,ocs, etc
if you wanna sit at home n av your workload
piling up then its easy stay at home = no money
unless your paying yourselves which i dont get ,
every day is a working day as i look at it
lets just say i was going to take it off
then i get a call fr say dean taberner or dave morris
requesting that a retail premise needs cleaning on the bank holiday
then even if the job is say a fiver it will be done
the bigger picture needs looking at
all my retail work is cleaned monday mornings
answer is yes il be working fr 6.30am till 9.30am
that'll cover my drawings for the day
my business doesnt take time off 

[best]

in the past i have found it good for geting new customers
you are seen by people who normaly are at work?

I now now do shops on mondays so will probably do them, then go home

Hi,always used to treat b/h as a normal working day but as my business has grown and I now employ,its great to take 4 whole days with the family and do some of the small jobs at home that I normally am too busy to sort( this weekend,converted our conservatory to an office for mine and partners businesses)
However,means that on Tuesday we will all be out hammering the work for a couple of days Inc me , so there won't be much office time next week( which is another topic entirely)
Enjoy the rest of the weekend all 
Regards
Roy

Not working and even if i wanted to i couldnt it raining but i used to work bank holidays in my old job so now i spend them with the family and ill just work a bit harder next few weeks

[PurefectWindowCleaning]

Yeah its chucking it down here, so gonna wash the van, get letter wrote out and printed regarding online payment option, then hit the gym. 

[dazmond]

we all have different attitudes and businesses if you want to work then go for it.

unlike gav cam lammy i would hate having to get up early and be dave morris/dean taberners "bitch" after a phone call out of the blue.as i might as well get a job working for someone else.i have noticed you work a lot lammy but your always looking to buy a second hand pole etc.

can you really not afford a brand new slx or are you just tight and a miser hoarding money?

i was talking to a guy the other day who has a cleaning supplies business and he was moaning to me he s not had a holiday for 10YEARS!!! whats that all about?

dont get me wrong i work hard but i know when i need a break from the daily grind.it stops me from getting too bored of window cleaning and provides a better work life balance.

days,months,years of chasing the pound without a break is not really for me.i dont see the point of it.when your lying on your deathbed you wont be thinking "i wish id of worked more!!"thats for sure!

best wishes to you all

i go along with daz,except gav being someone's bitch ,you need time to refresh and recharge,i take the attitude of work smart not hard,if you cant take off your a slave to the business

I've got a few to do today - and the rest of the week is stacked..........

but the torrential rain is draining my willpower......

looking like I'll be working Saturday!!

[Klean07]

I work to live not live to work c'mon!!!

Any day can be a bank holiday if you want to. I had two days off last week, so worked on Friday. Don't see the problem with it.
