Where are you based?

 I am in Basingstoke
I need work . Just waiting for the Doctor to sign me off to drive my van.

I am in Basingstoke.

Do you need work or have you still got your old round and you need to re-establish yourself?

e-mail me your telephone number and name.

My email is info@oakleywindowcleaning.co.uk

I've always got an excess of new work coming in. Had an enquiry earlier today right up your street. Wooton St Lawrence, small builders clean. Good rate.

I did not have time to notify any customers. I one day I was working and the next day I was  .sectioned into a mental hospital. They take away your life until they think you are better. There are many days you don`t know who the hell you are.  This is serious stuff and there has never been a forewarning that I would go this way. And as you get better your memory is just gone for a walk. You cannot even remember your customer`s
 names.

Set someone on from job centre. Pay basic wage. Loads of factories do it. You may get a muppet, you may get someone good. Better than loosing customers

I was in a place called Park veiw Hospital and they do have a computer for the patience to use. And there are times you are so drugged you cannot send a text.  Thank you for the good wishes.

Maybe the start of your recovery is not to log onto this forum.  ;D

I wish you a speedy recovery.

so in your situation i would

 contact every single customer via email/text/phone or go round in person and try and get them back and explain my situation

once they see you out and about i bet you ll pick most of them up again...

how long have you been window cleaning for?if you ve been going for years and years youll hardly lose any domestic customers i would have thought.....even customers that have took another cleaner on will go back to you once they see your back....
