Generally work until lunchtime most saturdays to accommodate people who work mon-fri.

I do try to avoid it usually but I often take time off in the week instead.  Also, there is some commercial work where it's easier to work when no-one is around due to car parking etc.

I do a contract job on every  Friday,  So I work Saturdays so that if I loose the contract I can move the Saturday work to Friday .

I work about 2 saturdays in the month doing either gutters or conservatory roofs just so it does not mess my window cleaning schedule up but only started doing this about a month ago.

Only if there is no other option, If I can't make enough to earn a living monday to friday then I'm doing something wrong!

Sometimes you just have to do it though :-\

This is the commuter belt here and lots of people can only get their windows done at the weekend. I do work Saturdays but charge more.
