ME WORKING XMAS DAY MATE

[gary999]

yep working xmas eve not a bank holiday...even when i was a employee
i worked xmas eve...never had one off unless it fell on a sunday

[C o z y]

Banks are open monday so why not window cleaners?
Maybe people have a big round and have to work saturday sunday and monday maybe your round is small and wish you had enough work to do saturday.sunday and monday ay CHRIS P BACON

lol, read my post again. You don't know me, I've got a well structured round, I get nearly all of my work done in about 12 working days a month. Since I#ve been in this game on and off for over 20 years, I've paid my house off and enjoy my free time. I understand that some have only been going a few years and have some time to go before they have everything how they want it.

However, if you find that you can't afford a week off or if your vehicle breaks down and you can't afford to miss that money, then you need to work a bit harder on getting your "Business" under control and better structured.

Yes, I read your post about working Sunday etc etc so you can have free time till 5th of Jan, good for you. Only you know how your round is standing and iff you earn enough. I don't care. I just see who posts what on here and I know who to listen to. Enjoy your Sunday, I will.

ive been working  most sundays since october
the nest egg ive accumulated is paying for the three weeks in
january im taking off when customers really dont wan too see you

[Crystal-clear]

It's Christmas eve; treat your customers with some respect and just leave them alone to relax.

Work Saturday instead.

i hear you richy as you have wages to pay but im taking toshes view

we gota know when to draw the line and aviod an unnecessary arguments its 1 day in the year most people will have the day off and will want to relax and not thinking about us or anything,

i have still got work outstanding it will have to be done in the new year

[Sean Dyer]

employees dont get it off

[gary999]

everyone i know who works in the private sector works xmas eve
i think you are confusing eve with day

Is anyone working Christmas eve. Got to catch up with work as has had problems with my van this last week and fell behind. But feel a bit cheeky working on that day.

If you want to work Christmas Eve just do it, it wont be a problem. Many of your customers will also be working Christmas Eve. Service, retail and care industries work right up to and over Christmas. It's only Trades (white van Men   ) that feel the need for a two week shut down over Christmas.

If you want to work, work! give your Custies a first class clean, if you think they don't want to be disturbed for payment, then just invoice for the new year, but I'd bet a dollar you'll do well for tips, enjoy the banter and feel satisfied at the end of the day that you've put in the effort.

Jesus wont mind at all neither will his Old Man, just remember to do a good job be kind to all the people you encounter and you'll go to heaven just like all window cleaners do  

P.S I wont be working Christmas Eve because I've not had a holiday this year so will be taking a well deserved week off as from today. If I was behind because of bad weather and wanted to work then I would.

[Johnny B]

I will be working tomorrow, Sunday afternoon, and all day Monday 24th. All the work planned has been agreed in advance with the customers who would like clean windows for the holiday, and I am happy to oblige.

I also have a first clean booked for the 26th, also agreed by the customer. I will then be off until 2nd January, when I have a school to clean.

I'm not working Gary, get a life.
I will be thinking of you though 

[stuart mc]

I have a simple rule, if the bin men work, and the postman works and the banks are open, then it is fair to work, Christmas Eve has never been a holiday, never will be a holiday and I am working, and so will all the above mentioned, and I am going collecting tomorrow and if the weather is ok I will work as well for a few hours

If you wanna work,work!! If you don't wanna/need to work, don't work!

Everyone's circumstances are different just do what ya need to do..

I'll be working cause I've got commercials to do first thing so as I'm already out I might as well tie in a few house, then I'll be off till 27th dec were duty calls 

Have a good Xmas lads and a happy new years   

[sunshine windows]

Without meaning to sound patronising, I feel sorry for those that need to work.

I completely agree with Chris P Bacon.

If you are doing shed loads of commercials who expect them cleaned, then fair enough. But domestics, come on guys.

[George P]

Never worked Christmas Eve. Not that desperate.

not always about being desperate, id love to give my guys time off, but we (along with lots of others on here) have clients that need cleaning on christmas eve,
