If you have 7 cancellations for tomorrow why not do some of the first cleans ?

If the forecast is dodgy I add 'weather permitting' to my texts. It gives you a bit off a safety barrier imo.
We look at them, they look through them.

Doesn't sound that itchy. They should have gone after the first 'skip'.

It’s my favourite weather. I love it. I just crack on regardless. Massive Christmas tips tomorrow and a whole week of record days.
Bring it on!
I’ve just had my breakfast of pulses, grains, boiled kale and granola shakes with four pints of beetroot juice ready for tomorrow’s onslaught.

You must have some dodgy customers!

I've never ever had that many skipped jobs in a day....

Your making a classic mistake.....NEVER WRITE THE DAY OFF BEFORE ITS EVEN STARTED!!!

it's forecast heavy rain here all day....Guess what?its not even raining!

9 times out of 10 the weather is not as bad as forecast....just crack on...

First day of posting xmas cards to my customers too....😘
price higher/work harder!

I don't skip for holidays. My line is that I'm here to remove 8 weeks worth of dirt.

Scaffolding/building work - maybe. But even then I might do the rest of the house if it's not all the way round.

Gotta train 'em.  ;D

Took on 35 actually couple of weeks ago.  Lost/dumped about 20 last few months so needed a top up. I panic when I start to catch up. Now I'm well behind again something to moan at  :D

Forecasts are still so unreliable, I feel for some trades who have to comit to  working a whole day or not at all based on forecasting. According to both met Office and BBC on Sunday night I shouldn't have done anything yesterday but had a good half day at i,without a drop of rain. The Mrs wanted to go Xmas shopping based on Sundays nights prediction, pleased I didn't.

80 to 90 percent of my round is probably off facebook. All walks of society are on there not just dossers.

That said out of the 30 or so I've picked up ill probably only clean 20 to 25 or them. Quite a few ill turn up to an walk away usually due to access most of them are terraced houses.
