Holiday 

If you know the complainers. Just tell them

[deeege]

You need to start working evenings to fully catch up with work!

Never tell anyone you are going on holiday, where or when.

Our customer's house was broken into when he was away in Spain over an extended weekend. They cleaned the place out and nobody heard them.

Apparently one of his mates broadcast his being away on Facebook.

Exactly, if they complain then tell them you where on holiday but most wont even notice or care.

Do your customers inform you they are going to be on holiday ?
I just change the answerphone message stating I am away and the date I will be resuming work ( usually make the date a few days after my return to give some breathing space to catch up if needed and prioritise overdue work )

Does anyone care if the window cleaners on holiday? I doubt it.

+1.
Even if you're 2 weeks late, most won't phone.
They probably won't even notice you're 2 weeks late.
In my experience, customers only really care if you're early.

if your going to tell customers your going away don't tell them the dates your away just tell them your going to  be a week late or whatever so no one knows when your home is empty

Nah. Punctuality is more for the shiner than the customer in my experience.
Except the odd lil' old dear who marks the calendar when we've been.

Dave, just tell the moaners that ur body needs an mot, and you have got to have a camera up the japsy.................... And there's a good chance us won't be able to walk for 2 weeks 😄,

And when u come back all tanned up, you will have to say u had a reaction to the anaesthetic, and may have to go back !!

Just explain to the rest when ur back
