[Crystal-clear]

32 started 27 needed a job looked at it as a means to N end till I got a better job 2 years in I started my first day at work again £27k It felt rubbish bare in mind I was earning much much less before as a not as serious window cleaner I went on lunch break and never came back they were gob smacked lol;) I said to my self if I walk away from this job ill have to try that water system thingy and go all or bust never looked back

Basically its the freedom that the jobs gives you or self employment gives you which is priceless sod the money I'm sat at home now with a cup of tea watching mayweathers greatest hits while my girl friend has to endure rush hour working late everyday being told what to do sod that! Ill work late when its required !
These are the things which make it great!

Nice story, glad has all worked out for you.
I don't think I'd be happy being employed ever again, it's too much of an easy life when all the pieces slot together.

I don't think I'd be happy being employed ever again

+1,000,000

I have had 1 other job, working for someone else, for about 10 months. The thought of being employed by somebody gives me the boak.

I am 64 this November, Most of my customer think I am in my fifties.I still work a very full day of 30 houses  with out effort. Been window cleaning  for 4years.I went window cleaning as I battled to get a job in my field in business consultancy. I was told I  am past my best day. So I started my business with 136 quid and am still going after four years.It was the first time in my life some else told me how I should be feeling.I guess I m the true recycled teenager.

Much respect to you mate.

i will 2nd that.

Been a windie for 26 years. Seen hot summers and terrible winters where you think it's never gonna end and you nearly run out of money but survived in the end. Been a good life out in the fresh air away from office bugs. Hard work tho but a descent living now I'm reach and wash. Earn much more than I did in the old days of trad. Slowing up a bit but can still give the youngsters and newbies a run for their money.

Been cleaning 4 years now, added window cleaning as an add on 2 years ago liked it and seen the potential to grow so changed my business name at start of this year and windys is now 80% of my work. Used to build blocks before this, upto my knees in sh*t everyday, think thats why i like window cleaning so much
