No way its bank holiday, a good way to p off your customers.

Do you think customers would get cross about window cleaning on Good Friday?

I think they get HOT and throw a BUN at you

Get ya coat  ;)
No still don't understand, I must be thick

at the end of the day its your business.DO WHAT YOU WANNA DO!!! ;D ;D

im cleaning domestic compact estate work tomorrow and saturday.then its a full week off next week for me because ill be straight up with work.time to kick back and relax! ;D

never second guess customers!dont EVER let stupid thoughts of "oh my customers wont want me to come round cos its a bank holiday" etc etc.ITS NONSENSE!!

keep up with the defeatist attitude and you wont clean in the rain,wind,sleet and snow!then when your morgage/rent is due or your missus wants to book an all inclusive holiday abroad somewhere you wont have the money!

then you ll be putting up posts like "how do i convert a harris pole?" as you wont have the money for a decent pole!!

im on course for the best weeks earnings EVER in 20 years of window cleaning this week! ;D ;D ;D


LIFE IS GOOD!! ;D ;D ;D ;D


best wishes and happy easter to you all

Good post dasmond. thats what ive been doing this week second guessing the customer wont want me round because of the snow. Well today just went and cleaned, a few did ask me to leave it so i did. But had a decent day. The weather dont bother me in the least worked outside all my life.Ieven go pike fishing in atrocious weather and thats for pleasure. Ijust worry about the customer not wanting them cleaned in the rain snow whatever. I need to change my way of thinking.

Here in Oirland they take their bank holidays seriously, almost everywhere will be closed and most customers will not be wanting to see me. I know from experience, I have turned up and been sent away, so because of this, I avoid working bank holidays except for when customers ask if I can do them . I have a few jobs specifically requested by customers to be done Friday and Saturday so I will be working on these days. Monday will be a day off though unless I get any phone calls.

that is perfectly understandable in Ireland and I would respect that if I was there, but I am not so I will do as I please and work tomorrow, Scottish pretend protestants are not renowned for taking good friday too serious

I'd planned to work today but my wife's just spent 2 days in hospital with asthma and she's just come home.
Was going to do tomorrow instead but we're having a family day  ;D
