How long have you been going?

What gear you got for sale, poles etc?

don't blame you, shocking weather continues next week, out with the snow and ice straight into the strong wind and heavy rain, bloody pain in the arse.

still wouldn't be too hasty if I was you, 62 customers and rolling, soon be lighter rain and glimmers of weak sunshine (July/August), what do you plan on doing instead?

I would say 3x if lucky 4x because 8 months is not that long

this obviously the worst time of year but i would think long and hard before you pack up i,ve been going 7 years and once you,ve built a good round i think its a cracking way to earn a very good living , my advice would be get your wet weather gear on and get canvassing if you put your mind to it you could double your custies in 2 solid weeks of canvassing , don,t listen to those that say you look desperate canvassing in the rain , as soon as a custie agrees to taking you on offer to clean it there and then if they say oh but its raining tell them that wfp was designed to be done in all weathers and say you understand there reluctance about cleaning in the rain but you will guarantee to come back if there not happy with the clean , if you canvass like this you will always be able to work in the rain and therefore always have money coming in regards alan

as said it does get better,2 months from now soon comes around and then its spring with all it brings.  why not flog stuff on ebay til then,raid the skips etc

you should be able to rake in £100 extra weekly by flogging a range of gear thatll top up your income nicely
