Taking wage from account.    Do most just draw it out weekly or monthly

As and when. I just try to keep my current account between about £250 and £750.

I put any transfers as household drawings.

Really old fashioned platform lots of people are on external cleaning Facebook groups now, obviously the younger window cleaners starting up are going straight to other platforms, I belonged to a fishing association forum with similar sections to C-I-U , ten years ago it was the biggest forum of it's kind on the net, last two years it's rapidly declined to only a few visits a day, I believe it's being taken down by the end of this year. Nothing lasts forever including clean it up.

Well I decided to do three easy houses and a dormer bungalow today as a little starter and all seems good thus far.

Just over a month in and all seems okay. But I shall obey the doc and not go for high or awkward stuff too soon.

Nice to actually be earning again even if it was only £98 in three steady hours.

I am almost 59 . For me all customers didn’t expect me back . If I done some on an extremely compact round they would all expect me back . Worst problem was we had that real bad storm end of January . So half my run was really dirty for to long

Had the same one done feb 14 . Did feel I needed full 6 weeks . Local mechanic got done week after went back to work to soon had to go back in . Reversed the op been on med since and will have to get re done when fully recovered . Also I bought an extreme 25 to use as much as possible. That made a real difference . Often use a max 50 left them another month and all good after 3 months

Thanks for the input. Good advice.

How old are you if you don't mind me asking?

I've just today - at 30 days after the OP - cleaned my van and my house (a semi-detached) reachable with my 20ft extreme.

I feel ok but don't want to overdo it. I am planning to do three  properties including a bungalow on Thursday which means I'll work steadily and do just over an hour on the glass and about an hour preparing and driving.

If that's ok then I will do the same Friday and next week at nearly six weeks do about 2 hours a day but no higher than my 20ft Xtreme.

My surgeon - when I explained my work - said don't go back full time (5 hours on the glass for me  ;D) until 6 weeks and no high reach or awkward stuff for 8.

I have dropped a big commercial which was at 45ft and passed it to my son in law and I have another couple of smaller but higher jobs I shall hand over too.

Anyone complained about them doing away with the free for life account . And any joy . See the new account will cost £9.99 and extra charges for cash deposits . Don’t know what other charges there is . Matt
