Started at 6am today and finished at 3.15pm. Had lunch at my mums with scones for pud.

Best earnings in a day I've ever done solo. 1x commercial and 3 x gutter, fascia and window cleans, (2 of them new jobs).  Happy burnt bunny

Average money.
Plodded and soaked up the sun. Hit 30° according to my van.
I could work at that forever & a day.
Love it.

Air con in van between jobs keeps me cool.

Only did 11 myself but needed some time of during the day to do something else I had planned so well happy with that.  I've picked up three new jobs in the last two days just by people seeing me working.

I sacrificed my holidays this year to pay back the remaining £800 loan for my van to my dad:)
After that i have no debts except the obvious phone contracts and broadband.

I also set myself a target to hit the 2k a month by the end of the year.... Im about 25-30 customers off it!! So realistically i should double that figure without even leafletting.

Funny you should say that, was talking to an old mate who he and his mrs smoke 20 a day each and he drinks 4 cans a night and she has a bottle of wine a night.
Worked out £400 a month in fAgs and the same for there drinking.
£800 a month blown smoke in the air and wee in the toilet.. Utter madness.
Drinking and smoking is a rich mans game nowdays especialy if its going to the pub every night.

Come on, tell the truth. Your not going on holiday this year because you didn't get any female action in Kavos last year! No need to be embarrassed!
