You have several choices
 
1 you can ask the court to look on you leniently, not much chance though
2 you can sell up or rent the round out
3 get someone has a licence to drive and pay then a day rate, say £40
4 take on a apprentice who has a driving licence, with a apprentice for the 1st year you only need to pay them £100 per week, this will help at first until you get more work to afford to pay them more money.
5 learn how to sew, them mailbags will be easier to do if you know how. ;D

Take someone on who drives....

This is why i dont drink, this year i have had 14 larger shandys and never more than 2 in one day.

Doctor thinks im lying to him when he asks how much i drink a week.
Only those who risk going too far will truly know how far they can actually go

Borrow some of what I drink in a week, your doctor will feel a lot better, and you can go on some nice courses and meet new people, sometimes they are famous ;D

you need to say that losing your licence will cause severe hardship sometimes and only sometimes the court will show leniency but the amount you blew mite of sealed your fate and also tell your solicitor you will do whatever it takes to keep your license Drink impaired course and community service and make sure he spells out that you will lose your home and business if you lose your license and hope for the best.

am i the only person who doesn't want to offer this person any advice????
i personally hope you get banned from driving for 18 months minimum, think yourself lucky you didn't hit and kill anyone! speaking as someone who has lost a friend to a drink driver i hope you learn your lesson!

Have you been done for drink driving before? It is nearly 4x the drink drive limit so unfortunately it doesn't look good.

I'd go for leaving ladders in customers garden as suggested.

I too don't have any time for this type of thing as I've seen the results of drink driving in their most horrendous form, but the guy is asking for advice about window cleaning on a window cleaning forum.

He is very lucky that nobody was injured or killed and I'm sure he knows that.

The courts will decide his fate.

Window cleaning can be very distressing at times and can often lead to drinking.
