plus are the customer ok with it or do they get funny about it

i wont be going on holiday just spending time with the family so it must be better to let them know that i will be late or they will get the hump all my work is 6 weekly and im always on time give or take a day or two

[lee_dewing]

If your custies have your mobile no'  then i would leave a message on your voicemail, i.e running late due to holiday.

I wouldn't worry, i use to, but most custies, don't even know if your early or late.

You get the odd one "i thought you'd given up!" after about 5 years they stop saying this.

I've stopped appoligizing for being late; as you get some "oh that's alright i'd rather have it done less often"

Only explain if askes

just tell your custys your having a holiday.and miss them for 1 clean
never had a problem .

[Matthew Bateman]

Why miss them? They'll be 6 weeks late then, not 2.

Start where you left off when you get back. Simples.

I always try and double up when I go away for eg I went to Majorca on 14th Aug for 10 days. So before I went I did 3 weeks work in two weeks which left me 4 days to complete my last week when I got home. Simple.

[Poles R Us]

i just tell them a month before i going away , they understand

[G Griffin]

I go on holiday and leave the work at home.
