im wasting my time today!overslept due to new polish neighbours banging about at 2am keeping me awake so started at 11am in drizzle.within 5 mins it was hammering it down.carried on then 15 mins in the van then came home! >:( >:(

its absolutely relentless torrential rain here in manchester!earned the princely sum of £10!! ;D ;D ;D

try again tomorrow! ;) ;D ;D ;D

KESSA dont be a soft lad!work a few saturdays or later in the day to catch up on the drier days!!

i usually just crack on if its just drizzle or the odd shower but this is a washout day!luckily its not often the weathers this wet although we have had a few more than usual over the last few months!!

im only just over a week behind so im not worrying!bills paid and a good few quid in the bank! ;) ;D ;D

from my experience of 18 years window cleaning it can get a bit frustrating when you cant get out and earn but dont let it spoil your day!!ENJOY YOUR TIME OFF!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D


best wishes to you all

Im finding this website useful for giving quite an accurate picture of the direction any wet weather is moving in: http://www.raintoday.co.uk/

I could see the rain was moving towards my direction so didn't bother going out this morning.  ;D

I can do between 10-20 jobs a day the sizes range from big houses to front only jobs and to be honest i think im still slow i rinse and scrub too much.

Im off for two weeks with the kids starting next week im going to do so leaflets while im off and book the first cleans in for when my wife is at home then after the two weeks off i will be back at it to reach my next goal  ;D ;D
