Finish 23rd and I’ll do a school clean which is half a day on Friday 2nd, I’m usually ready to get back to it by then anyway tbh.

I just keep going, only doing 7:30am-11am these days. Will take off a few days close to Xmas anyway.

Lazy days,eating plenty of food,xmas telly and family time beckon (and afternoon gym sessions!).

Always have done, since I started in 2008. Usually do a round or two between Xmas and new year, all my work is monthly, so each week there is work due, I tend to  stick to the routine unless we’re away on holiday…

Yep, that’s the average now, latest midday. This week haven’t been later than 11am.

Leave the house at 7:15am. Or earlier on commercial.

My round is now so well refined, even my domestic work requires less than 4 hours to hit a good wage. I  could earn more, but I’m very happy where I’m at, my work like balance is perfect now.

Would also add, I work fast, I’m very efficient and I don’t mess about. I get it done and get home.

No way would I be turning up to clean domestic jobs in between xmas and new year but each to their own!😆

Is most of your work Commercial Zesty? I’m guessing it must be if you’re starting most days at 7:30. I do the same on Commercial but as it’s still dark there’s no way I’d start domestic work at that time especially in the winter.

Those customers have known me for years mate, there isn’t any problem, in fact everyone’s in a good mood so it’s always a nice, pleasant time to clean windows on that 4th week of the month, no problems at all. They expect me because those rounds are always cleaned last week of the month.

Yeah about 50/50 mate, but again, I’ve always done the same houses at 7:30am, they are the ones who are either up early, or work in London etc. you know how it is, you know your customers, you do the same routine every month. I’ve always started domestic at 7:30am, means I miss the traffic.

Commercial I’ll often start 7am or earlier, depending on daylight.
