Dg I'm just doing cleaning at the weekend just now, as I still have a full-time. Nine -five Monday _Friday, it should be easier on me once I go full time in January, I wanted to see how much I could get done by myself to give me an idea of if needed I could clean myself in a day, traditional is in this area thestill the most common way of cleaning, I'm not saying I won't change to wfp but for now it has to be traditional.

Hey, I don't want to rain on your parade, but how many custards have you got? No more for two weeks but in around 3 months you are looking to go full time after giving up full time work, madness.
Unless you have some money behind you I would not give up untill the clocks go forward giving you longer days to canvass and clean what you pick up the next day.
With darker nights and colder days customers are harder to pick up, you may ave missed the boat for this year unless you quit work now and try to get the number or custards you need within the next couple of months.
Good luck though.
