Over the last few years I have been struggling with enjoying window cleaning. So I have now sold all my work and van.  So I bid you all goodbye, and all the luck.
Thanks for all your help along the way guys. And be safe

I am a trained aircraft fitter. But got made redundant at 21 and helped my grandad til I found another job. But when he retired I forgot to look for a new job. 9 years later I remembered.  I had been thinking about it for a year or so, then the right offer came.

[andyM]

Best of luck then.
I'm not sure I could go back to being an employee, to be honest I'm not even sure anyone would want me.

I hope things work out for you.  I suppose not everyone misses being their own boss.
For me, working for an employer would be a nightmare after so long self-employed. 
Even driving jobs aren't what they used to be with all those trackers and mobile phones these days.
I once had a job where I visited supermarkets in the south-east on a rota - to sort out their advertising boards and the like.  I worked from home for a company based in the north-west.  I had to phone in once a day (before mobiles).  I even begrudged doing that LOL.
I hope you got a decent price for your business.

Thanks guy, I have always said, the day it becomes a drag going to clean windows, I would sell up.and go back to fitting. Will stay on here for little while and give advice when I can. But not often.

yeah window cleaning isnt for everyone.(in fact its not for most people!)

23 years for me and im still chomping on the bit to get out there and work most days.i love the freedom,lifestyle , fresh air and of course the money.its a relatively stress free occupation.

even at times like this when im off sick i know my work will still be there next week waiting for me.

[Ben wood]

Cheers guys. Lee I used to do some spraying up at Stanstead years ago. Must say I took the buyer to meet my customers today and at the end he has paid in full. It's a very strange feeling seeing my van driving away. But onwards and upwards. Before I start work I have a operation on my knee. They are taking a ligament out of my shoulder to put in my knee. The joys of trad work and playing football. Lol
