Thanks for reading,I'm 6wkly wfd, been trading for 6.5years,what do you do when going on holiday,this is what I've done and wondered what you think and if its acceptable to customers.
  When I go away in three weeks time I will be four days in front,when I get back I am looking togo two days backwards in my round,so only losing four days work.
Is this acceptable ?
What do you do ?
Any constructive help and advice would be appreciated

Just go and enjoy, extra push when you return, Light night's extra hr a day your sorted. If I go away, I'd come back to a least a week behind and no chance of catching up. I never worry, If I've been on time for several months No-one really notices.

Just start where you left off after you return. Customers won't mind you being a week or so behind.

If you give customers a next clean date then I've no idea how you should do it (or why you choose to work to such a strict schedule)

I away for two weeks,I'm a bit OCD so it bothers me if not up to date,will customers accept two weeks late ? Or is my OCD getting the better of me?

Just crack on with it most won't care or notice and for those that do tell them you've been on holiday

I'll also be away for 2 weeks next month. Most of my customers will also be holidaying in August too so they won't be worrying about the whereabouts of the window cleaner.

Turn your phone off and leave a voicemail saying you are annual leave and will be returning on X date. Enjoy your holiday.
