;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.
Why would you lose money?
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

Perfectly logical

Perfectly logical

Once those 2 weeks have gone you can never recover them. Not noticable in the short term maybe but over the year, or come xmas, that's 2 weeks worth of money that should have been in your pocket.
The only way to bring it back in line is to go round say 3 weeks later next time instead of 4. But my customers wouldn't like that.

Why would I feel the need to have to "bring it back in line" now? ???
It's not going to get me any more money because I'm on time.

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.

I caught the "norovirus" two or three years ago so I'm hoping that my body has learned to deal with that infection for a few years.  The trouble with viruses though is that they tend to mutate so there aren't any guarantees.

we are about a week behind , i have been working in light rain , and have done all my rainy day work for the month . i will catch up soon enough , and im sure customers arent too bothered . the problem comes on the following month when technically im early , having got them back to where they are supposed to be .
