  • Just read of your loss Flower08.
    Sorry to hear about that. I've lost good friends too down the years. It leaves a very big hole but we do adapt. I hope you recover from it in your own good time.

    A set day ? :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

    I don't even manage a set week :D .

    Most people are fine if I get there late. Domestic window cleaning is not the sort of service where it is practical to operate on set days I've found - especially as the workload grows. Just taking the daylight differences between winter and summer can make a couple of hours difference per day before you take freeze-ups into account or other severe weather.
    To be able to provide a service that involved set days (or close to it) would mean only ever being able to have a winter workload. This would mean a lot of idle time in the summer so not viable (or vastly increased prices). I just tell my customers 6 weekly but that the 6 weeks sometimes may be as long as 8 weeks. It doesn't take much to throw off any plans. Holiday, sickness, van in the garage for a day or two, a bout of lazyitis etc. :D .

    Good morning All!

    Don't worry Angelic, I won't correct your grammar. lol I keep messing up a lot myself recently, so can't really talk! lol

    Missing home :( But......only 13 days until I fly back for the week. :)

    Somehow, there is still €170 in my account and I only need to get a little xtra food and any other incidentals which might come up.

    Am very surprised. I'm usually down to €50 or less by this point. I've double checked my bank account against my budget and it's correct. It just seems that I have actually managed to stick to my budget this month. :)

    Whatever's left on 24th of this month will go to savings account.

    ((((hugs)))) to flower and everyone else needing a cwtch this morning.....:A:A:A:A:A:A:A:A:A:A:A
    Especially as it's very dark, cold, wet windy and a Monday morning as well.....RARRRRRR! :eek::eek::eek:

    So tiny pads for me till the end of the week as work have failed to pay my £136 expenses for second month running and I've pawned my camera and IPOD so me and OH can eat and put petrol in the car.
    When I told my manager she just laughed....:mad: and she's the one who's sat on the paperwork.
    Anyhoo, in the grand scheme of things I should be grateful I have a job I suppose! lol
    Today the PAD is £1 (unless I find more money in the street lol)
    Chin up all
    Love Sassers x

    Sorry to hear you're homesick Euro :( Just think about us poor bu99ers here, paying for our own commute, with piddly pensions and no extra month's salary to help us through Christmas.
    Hope that's cheered you up ;)

    Hi Everyone :hello:
    Hope everyone's well! No PAD for me today either, sorry Gilli :(
    No point increasing my overdraft to PAD, so will wait until I get some Quidco or Ebay earnings.
    Little DD is off nursery with a throat infection today, so I'm home all day....

    Will catch up later xx
  • Hey all.

    £14.31 from me today. Was hoping to have heard from our solicitor about when we can expect to exchange on our new house but nothing as yet :mad:
