I've just checked Saturday's numbers and I've won the lottery.
It's not too hard to keep my feet on the ground and I promise the tenner won't change my life.
Blimey Paul - you got me there! You should have seen my face then - I was so excited for you!. I thought Whooppee - there is a God! Well done though - let's hope it's the start or a winning streak - they do come in 3's

I don't even manage a set week

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.

I'm starting to annoy myself thinking about him...got a good mind to phone him and tell him he's an ar*ehole! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:I'm kidding by the way...I'll just say it to his face! :rotfl:
So do you think every 2-3months is o.k for them to come round? I just assumed that since he said he'd do it monthly that was the normal thing to do.
Loved the comment about the lazyitis!

Plus, I get to see my family and friends real soon, so I should feel lucky really. It's more than some people will be able to do, and I'm fortunate enough to have a loving family too, so yes, I am very lucky. 

If you think about it Euro, you're probably less time away from your family than some of your family are to each other...I mean, I'm guessing a flight from Holland to where they are would take less time than a car journey would if they were to see each other (provided of course that they lived far away from each other!
