@ DTH-since late 2010 mate,i do ok in the summer grass cutting ect but thats it business has been very bad last year was hard,18 months of winter though dosent help.

in jan i had zero funds nothing,had to lend cash all over ive been making £100 a week and less since mid dec,not enough to even pay for the shopping.

now im starting the new season in with nothing.

ive made one livable wage since early dec.

put all this together and you end up with the mrs on yer back 2 dogs to feed and a daughter and 2 cars to run.sleepless nights becomes the norm lol.

 
Am the same right now Ak looking at doin this princes trust course.
The stress iv had with this bad weather and problems with car has cost me so much money not even earnt that much to begin with.

You fell out with window cleaning? Tell me about it lol think I have tbh mate.

Kick the missus out the house. or send her out canvassing LOL.
 
You have both probably tried the following but.... facebook, look for all the for sale groups post an add in there offering window cleaning and keep bumping it every 24/48 hours. I cant stress how much this has worked for me and still does. You can also try put flyers in EVERY shop window that will allow it. Its free and works a treat.

 
I think once you get established, thats when its fun.

Then you get a different kind of headache, like how will i get all this work done!

Im still skint though /emoticons/biggrin.png
