I'm about 10 days or 2 weeks behind,it always stays that way as soon as it looks like I'm breaking the back of it the weather becomes awful and puts me back there again.

I'm a good few days behind now.  It wasn't just about weather; I recentlly took on a load of new work and I'm still finding my way around.  It'll be fine once I've done it a couple more times and committed it to memory.

Was 2 weeks behind now 1 week behind.

Was going out today.

But was snowing heavily this morning, then turned to heavy rain.

Had the choice to go out 11-ish beautiful sunny day.

2 small jobs to do Monday, then done for the month.

Got all scheduled work done last week including 3 new cleans. Don't know what all the fuss was about

I change how I do things now. Instead of keeping to a strict schedule, I now give myself a 4 weekly target to hit. It works for me anyway. It's meant I don't get bogged down in falling behind and working Saturdays is now pretty much a no go (apart from the occasional commercial, conservatory clean etc). Occasionally it does feel like I've fallen behind but because I try and take 4 weeks off a year it always levels itself out. It can get rather stressful keeping to a schedule  :D

Nearly always in front . All next weeks 8 weeklys  got done last week . Flying through the work . I've changed them all to 7 weekly over the last year without telling one customer . No one has noticed or commented . Half of next weeks 4 weeklys got done last week . If I keep this up Xmas break will start on the 21st December , with all work completed  and not due back till the new year  now I've said that the van will probably blow up tomorrow and the lad will break his arm .  ;D

Generally 50-70 jobs behind in winter but always on the ball in summer, customers dont care if they dont see me in winter, its dark when they go to work and dark when they get home, apart from the retired of course. i know who likes a regular clean, good thing about being established i suppose.
