Said mainly by people that have little lol,no I agree  if you can’t enjoy yourself what’s the point although some people enjoy the fact that they are constantly working.
I know someone that has a huge business  never takes time off has accumulated millions he’ll never be any different.

NWH....you are the type of bloke that would actually brag about being humble .
the irony is hilarious .
the nonsense you spout reveals you know nothing about wealth other than you know somone wealthy.

I’ve had rich women tell me money isn’t everything but this is normally when they’ve married 15 years older than themselves and are bored to death lol,money gives you freedom that’s why so many people pray to it.

Window cleaning can be boring, but it's good money for what we do.
Other jobs are boring too, trust me, i've had them.
I'd rather have a boring job, over a stressful job...(and for the money we earn, that seems to be the alternative).

But this job has given me much more than money, it's given me 'perspective'.
I meet the same 390 customers every 8 weeks (give or take a bit) and I have a very small 'sneak preview' into their lives.
Some, I would love to aspire to (and they are not necessarily the richest ones).
Others, I think...i'm glad I don't live like that, or have their problems.

Mostly, it's shown me that me and my family are actually doing OK in the scheme of life.

Yes it's a job and it can be boring, but it's what you make of it.
"Thank you for calling: if you have a 1st floor flat, mid terraced house, lots of dogs, no parking, no side access, or no sense of humour, please press hold!
For all other enquiries, please press1"

We’ve got it easy if this job is stressing you in some way you either have to many employees or the wrong type of work,most of the time all we have to worry about is the weather.

I am lucky where I live ....eg tomorrows run is all in the countryside , it is my furthest round . I start about half hour away right by the botanic gardens in wales , and finish about 20 mins away from home , the scenery is spectacular .
other days I am in the beacons national park .
I think its much better to focus on the positives ....

Surroundings make such a difference . I was lucky enough to have Stamford and its surrounding area as my patch when i worked for Anglian Water and i loved it. I was moved nearer to home which made total sense logistically and i did exactly the same job  but grew to hate it. Purely down to my surroundings. If i could clean windows in a beautiful area like yours James i would absolutely love this job.

This job help keeps me going,I have Crohn’s disease and no employer would put up with when I have an attack as it literally sends you to your knees with the stomach cramps.. and it’s haphazard nature in which it attacks you ,me I’m just happy that I can fit the job around this horrible disease..took me years to get diagnosed..but I can work it with this job 👍

I'm glad that I decided to employ a couple of lads because there are days when I really don't want to go. So now with these lads earning me a decent wage I can afford not to work on the tools and even think about going abroad for a few months in the winter.

Imagine getting to 70, looking back at your life and thinking ‘well, I cleaned some windows’……..

personaly , I think I have done alright ...... remember , the winner of the rat race is still a rat.
life isn't all about money

Who mentioned money?

Every fibre of my being wanted to go out to work today despite my injured foot.i even made a flask and packed lunch,texted customers last night,etc,etc.....

I find it hard NOT to go to work if I'm being honest....I don't need the money either as I've plenty of money behind me these days...

It's just my work ethic that's been ingrained into my everyday life for many years now....

The truth is if I don't rest my foot by having this week off I could end up needing to have a lot longer off work which is not ideal....

I'm off to Liverpool at the end of the month for a dirty weekend with the missus in that new hotel that opened last year(melia).I'm also taking the week off after(queen jubilee week)and got a local music festival to look forward to.

This week is just rehabilitation(gym/swimming/yoga and rest)...and not taking the dog for a walk! ::)roll ;D

Yoga is for everyone mate....when I get my breathing right too its very relaxing,calming and strangely makes me more aware and alive/in the present moment

You’ll benefit more from yoga than you ever would going down the gym pushing weights I took weights seriously years ago and unless you are pushing yourself every set to failure you’re muscles won’t react and to do this you need steroids.
You’ll only look leaner if you eat right you may as well go down the gym and sit on the rower unless you properly push with the weights,I can tell you something if you’re pushing the weights as you say you wouldn’t be fit to go to work 4-5 days a week lol there’s people that train and there’s people that go to a brightly lit place to look at the crumpet,lost count of the amount of affairs that have started at gyms 🤣🤣🤣

I love lifting weights in the gym mate...I'll never give it up..I love  the pump and the endorphin release..much better than drinking alcohol down the pub
