I'm 67 Daz. I think if you get the balance right then there's no reason why you can't work into retirement like me. My mortgage was paid off a couple of years ago meaning that my outgoings now are minimal.  Also love my holidays I quit smoking 20 years ago and only drink socially.

Our mortgage will be paid off in 2 years. Me and my missus will be 56 and 57 respectively. I'll put some of the extra money i won't be spending on the mortgage into my private pension and carry on working if my health is good.

I'm the sort of guy who will not stop working (in some capacity)unless im forced to due to injury of ill health.

I'm down to 20-25 hours per week and hope I can stay at this level for many years to come.

All the best for Xmas and the new year pal.

 ;D ;D ;D

Can’t keep up with you Daz. You’ve always said sod paying into a pension, they are scams etc. What’s changed your opinion on pensions?

I only changed my mind on pensions because of tax relief (plus im getting older). Hopefully I'll have 20 years of paying into a private pension. Its only a NEST pension so government backed and open to the self employed (and easy to open online)......

Fair enough Daz, you got there in the end. Now just imagine how much your nest egg would be if you’d have started paying into a pension or stocks and shares through an ISA 10+ years ago.  ;D


Just imagine what he could have now if he had invested in property 😉

That’s me paid a deposit on a 1 year old E Custom Sport. Will probably fly down for it on Saturday (Birmingham)… if not it will be between Christmas and New Year. That will then give me time to fit it out before starting back to work after New Year.

You will love it.

If you aren't full and want to pick up customers,

Every new house gets a welcome pack from the builder.

Tell them your willing to clean the show house show house every 2 weeks, on the condition your leaflet goes in the welcome pack. If you really want work, put on the leaflet the first cleans free.

If you dont get calls then go chapping the doors and ask when they want there free clean scheduled for.

Trust me, youl pick up absolute loads of them.

Some will say they wouldn't do that as it's working for nothing. But it gets you a much, much bigger return than canvasing would.

And if you haven't enough work anyway. You'd be sitting in the house.

They are on the ground 3 high. I'm thinking a minimum 50p a panel and it may take half a day. Would like to clean a row for free then I will be able to work out how long it will take.
Half a day🤣🤣

Thanks CleanClear. Looks like just what I need. I think I'll start using it in April at the start of the new tax year(a year earlier than I need). To familiarise myself with the process.🙂👍

You certainly aren’t going to do 1,000 panels in half a day 800-1000 in a day is possible but that’s flat out on just dusty panels

I thought one just bought a wide brush with 4 jets and dragged it down them. Its just getting built so mainly dust on them from the site.
Even if you had the widest brush and a pole in each hand you won’t do 1000 panels in half a day
