how earlys early?many years ago i used to start at 730am landscape gardening.nightmare esp in winter! ;D
830am is an early start for me these days.
off today as having 500L tank fitted. :)
-
When i used to work for stagecoach my earliest shift start time was 0500 (which meant getting up at 0400) and i know that it is now 0420 as the 1st bus leaves earlier. So given my earliest start for window cleaning would be today, and a couple of other days the same, which means getting up at 0620, i really am not complaining!.
Most of the time i get up about 0700
-
4 am was mine supermarket cleaner lasted a week lol ;D
-
9am is early start for me...and thats in the winter
Never start before 10am
-
Set my alarm for 6am but awake at 5.40am.
It's not really the time that bothers me, more the temperature.
-
Usually out of the door about 6 - 6:30am Monday - Friday. Usually home between 2pm and 3pm.
I'm an early riser anyway so starting at 9am would drive me insane.
-
I wake at 7 on the glass by 8
-
danny im an early riser as well!usually up at 630am-7am but i like a good 90 mins to wake up,have breakfast,catch up on news,emails and make a packed lunch before heading out the door! ;D

I usually get home, straight in shower then catch up with news/emails/facebook/invoices etc before the mrs comes home at 4pm.

Dont understand how people start before 7.30👀 dont the custards get annoyed when you wake them up?
-
7 .45 start home at 2pm to 3.30 pm latest ;D

I started working for Royal Mail in Croydon Surrey back in 1989, was there 22 years, the first year i was on
deliverys 5.00am start, so i had to get up at around 4.00am, i absolutely hated it dragging myself out of bed
at them ungodly hours especially in the winter months, the summer months were better but still hated getting
up at 4.00am. These days i get up at 6.00am, thats only because my wife's a nurse and works an early shift so
i get up with her, but its a breeze compared to 4.00am.
Best Regards

Commercial work, some of which has to be completed by 8am.
I don't start on domestics until 8am at the earliest.
-
430am leave home every day !!! 😳👍😬
-
I did that good a job, they're considering having me regularly, instead of their current cleaners. :o :o :o
Current company takes 20 mins, took me 2 and half hours.
Bloody national cowboys at it again!!!
I was only called in because some bigwigs have planned a visit for tomorrow and the other company couldn't fit it in.
-
If I started at 8 I'd never get all my work done.
I'm up at 5, start by 6.
Finished today at 7pm.
By 6am tomorrow I'll be cleaning a pub's carpets then off to a chippie on Plymouth's Barbican for 9.30 to carry out their second window clean of the week; the rest of the day is made up of domestic windows.
To be honest I could use some help but find it really hard to trust people to do the job properly, turn up on time, etc.

That is some schedule mate, you need to watch you don't burn yourself out.
No way i would be doing that unless it was just 2 or 3 days a week. Work to live, not live to work!.
-
get up at 7 30 feed my boy and leave the house at 9 back home by 1500
-
Out at 9.30 back by 4.30.
Sod being up early let alone actually working.
-
Lol. OP's post time is just gone 6am.
I did a job where I was up just after 3.
Most mornings are around 5 now. Normally home for dinner time (5-6pm)
Only 4 days a week though.
Not like the hardcore elite.
FairPlay to the 80 hour weekers.
Not done that for a long time now.

Some of these replies have made me feel better :) by the time I've finished with the school run around 9am I'm already pooped so starting at 930 is rare for me, though I feel better for it when I do get out then, nice to squeeze an extra house in in the morning. Easier during the spring and summer though. Never been a get up and goer and the kids have been trained to not get up early either!
I'll come home when the work is done, and will always have a couple of houses to add on to my day if I'm not too shattered, but at the moment I have to manage my health versus getting enough work done.
So yes, sod early morning starts!
-
9.30am ;D I would like to start at 8.00am but not sure if the custys would like that
-
didnt start before 11am last week :)
-
8am for me,i know me customer that are up early and don't mind ;)
-

Won't know until you try bud.
If you want to start earlier-just go for it.
I'd say avoid mums on the school run between 8-9 though.
Old people are normally up early.
Or the ones that are still in bed at 10am.
I clean a few like that (night workers) just be quieter doing their bedroom.
Over the course of a week you could end up with an extra half a days work done...
You only need (say...) 10 houses a week that you can start at 8 on.
I've got houses that I start before 6 on.
It's just finding those that don't mind you getting there early.

Franky, I'm still doing that job in St Paul's, Brissle. Due there tomorrow morning, so you could do it for me and save me having to get up at 6am again ;D ;D
