a customer told me last week it had been 8 weeks 3 days since my last clean

which to be fair, is better than i thought, as i say " 6 - 8 weeks, closer to 6 "
take into account my 2 and a bit weeks of for christmas, im on time ;)

No idea.
Maybe a week, maybe two weeks. ???

Who cares? Get to them when you get to them.
You're not going to lose any.
Most don't want it done that regularly anyway.

 ;D It's true though isn't it?

Why worry about being on time?

Customers always say "See you in about a month" or "See you next time then".
If they push for a day, I tell them I can't, because it only takes a washout the day before and they're put back a day.

The simple answer is "When I've done the house before yours"

I agree with you on that squeaks, but 2 weeks late I would lose a stack load of money, and that is not an option from where I am sat.

Do you give discounts of you're late? ???

If you're working every day you make the same money, doesn't matter which day you do it! ;D

Main round is 8 weekly, I am 13 days behind and it will take me t least a month to catch up. But I dont think you ever do catch up that ammount. Having George helps.
Just hope you dont get the sickness bug guys, did a nursing home today and its all over the walls and floors  :-\  and they are locked in and us out.

Pretty likely, I work with the public (as we all do), I've got a daughter at school, and my missus works at a nursery.
Lots of people contact. :-\

Still, haven't heard of it much lately. Maybe it's dying out.
