Exactly why i choose to clean front only terrace houses for £10 a pop..
I never want to be a busy fool again. Keep it simple and keep it real.
Madness how many shiners still charge dark age prices for a modern wfp full service!.
You here it all the time"my last window cleaner only charged £5"..."well yes my love but where is he now and also i bet he didnt do the frames and doors for a fiver did he"??.

Up north were i work theres a local windy about 30stone, who has 5
Druggies working for him, they have around 1600 houses apparently!!! Unfortunatly they charge £3.50 a house!
Funny thing is i still get work off them every month and my prices for a 4bed semi are between £10.00-£15.00

I always have to laugh at these willy waving posts.
I used to do the same, thinking I was the man because I charged double on what other
cleaners were charging.
Until I found out there was a guy charging £5 more than me and was flat out with work :o
Soon knocked me off my high horse.
We are all busy fools just at different levels.

They can.
But the fool bit of 'busy fool' (for me) is that it is foolish to be working all the time when you can work less for the same (or more) money.
