you must be joking you haven't got the money for a wfp system but you have got a business adviser, joining the FWC £102.50 plus the other day you was going to get your van sign written £76.94

forget the sign writing and the fwc membership and get a second hand backpack wfp setup for about £179.44
or get a ladder for for £130 http://www.midlandladders.com/products/Double_3_5m_Heavy_Duty_Industrial_Alloy_Ladder_Class_1-29-26.html its not a point ladder but it would do the job ;)

or do yourself a favor take a look at what you want to do with your business look at what you can afford because you might be better off waiting until you have the money to buy the equipment in the summer  ::)

business adviser is free through the job centre its a company called INBIZ they help you start out with self employment and tell you how to pay tax and nat ins etc and tell you where to get discounts on things, just general things and i think its worth going to coz it shows the bloody job centre im trying, unlike the rest of the lazy gits who sit at home doing nowt bout not having a job watching jeremy kyle lol.
van sign writing i can get for 30 quid and ladders i can get for 45 quid.
im come to the point where ill have to face my fear of ladders and just climb, im sure ill get used to it coz its either face my fear and get sum readys in my bk pocket or dont face it and die of hunger lol ;D ;D

ant don't get second hand diy ladders get a decent set of trade ladders
if i was you i would forget about joining the FWC and use that £102 to get a decent ladder
with a ladder you will be able to earn money towards getting a wfp system

did you choose to do window cleaning or did the job centre push you into it  ???

ant i suggest you buy some ladders then find a windy near you that will be willing to take you out and show you how to use them correctly
here is some pointers

1 jam the ladder under the sill as they can slip sideways if you put them on sills and lean
2 dont lean
3 get some ladder spikes
4 get a different carear if you fill unsafe as with wfp they still use ladders for access mate

wel i wanted a job outside coz i was sick of factory work and bein inside all the time, i was going to go gardening but looking in the yellow pages i noticed i had lots of gardeners round me and i had 6 in my village so i decided against it and just searched the net and thought about wc, i decided to join here and read and try to learn as much about it as i can, thats why i come across as a bit thick  ;D im names not made up and its not a joke. just trying to learn all the diff ways of cleaning windows. hardest bits getting custys but im slowly getting there.


as for ladders ill get over it ill get a safety system put on them to gimme confidence but i like that look of these as they fold up and slip in the back of the van nicely, i cant leave them on the van roof they will get stolen and taking them off and on will do my nut in.  http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/5-2m-Combination-Multi-Extension-self-Standing-Ladder-/170568689791?pt=UK_H_G_Ladders_RL&hash=item27b6afa87f

The Federation do a ladder safety video.

I'd leave that well alone. Get a laddermate if you feel like you need something.

well i know that the job centre will gimme 40 a week for a year untill im up and running, and when i officially go bk to work they give me 250 quid so i guess i can get a 2nd hand wfp system for 250, seen a few on ebay.
also being a bankrupt in 2007 no one wants to gimme money coz im classed high risk, even tho the bills were my ex wifes. downfall of getting married lol  ::)

Eh? You think my site cost me money because it's in German? Lost me there. Anyone can put a site up and claim to be anything. You are posting questions and statements that make you a bit suspect to some people. Nothing wrong with that. We have at least one member on here who pretends to be a window cleaner.

Some of the longer members open duff accounts every now and then,just to wind others up. I don't care if your real or not. Just find it strange that people pretend to be WC's instead of airline pilots. ::)
