When i used to work for stagecoach my earliest shift start time was 0500 (which meant getting up at 0400) and i know that it is now 0420 as the 1st bus leaves earlier. So given my earliest start for window cleaning would be today, and a couple of other days the same, which means getting up at 0620, i really am not complaining!.

Most of the time i get up about 0700

Set my alarm for 6am but awake at 5.40am.

It's not really the time that bothers me, more the temperature.

Usually out of the door about 6 - 6:30am Monday - Friday. Usually home between 2pm and 3pm.

I'm an early riser anyway so starting at 9am would drive me insane.

I usually get home, straight in shower then catch up with news/emails/facebook/invoices etc before the mrs comes home at 4pm.

 I started working for Royal Mail in Croydon Surrey back in 1989, was there 22 years, the first year i was on
 deliverys 5.00am start, so i had to get up at around 4.00am, i absolutely hated it dragging myself out of bed
 at them ungodly hours especially in the winter months, the summer months were better but still hated getting
up at 4.00am. These days i get up at 6.00am, thats only because my wife's a nurse and works an early shift so
i get up with her, but its a breeze compared to 4.00am.

Best Regards
Lal

Commercial work, some of which has to be completed by 8am.

I don't start on domestics until 8am at the earliest.

I did that good a job, they're considering having me regularly, instead of their current cleaners.  :o :o :o

Current company takes 20 mins, took me 2 and half hours.

Bloody national cowboys at it again!!!

I was only called in because some bigwigs have planned a visit for tomorrow and the other company couldn't fit it in.

If I started at 8 I'd never get all my work done.

I'm up at 5, start by 6.

Finished today at 7pm.

By 6am tomorrow I'll be cleaning a pub's carpets then off to a chippie on Plymouth's Barbican for 9.30 to carry out their second window clean of the week; the rest of the day is made up of domestic windows.

To be honest I could use some help but find it really hard to trust people to do the job properly, turn up on time, etc.
Come and talk dirty to us!!!

That is some schedule mate, you need to watch you don't burn yourself out.

No way i would be doing that unless it was just 2 or 3 days a week. Work to live, not live to work!.
