we work from 8.30/9 am to about 2 in the afternoon, sometimes a bit later, that's enough for me. I dont stop for a break, most of my customers are out at work (phone night before if access probs , like side gate locked) while I'm there. I leave them a stamped addressed envelope and an invoice...cheques come through the post daily...whizz them off to the bank after I've finished...and so it goes on....I used to go back for the money, but it was like going to work twice, and no guarantee they'd be in anyway.....this works better, just wait longer for the dosh, but once it's rolling, it's fine.
