I've already been out and done two jobs  ;D .
Got another one to do in a minute inside - that will last a couple of hours.
Nothing booked in after that .  Might go and do a few houses up till lunch time.  See how it goes.

not on glass ... updating George / accounts

took a look at debtors list and consigned 3 customers to the suspended section

Customer 1 = £10 bimonthly always texts a week before due saying windows need cleaning as really dirty and when am I due then takes a few weeks to pay  :( ... last month asked me to do conny roof as well so agreed £40 extra ... texted 2 weeks after cleaned a payment reminder and got some story about being ill and staying with mum but will get around to paying it ... windows due early Jan so will pay a visit and get money then DUMP.

Customer 2 = £10 bimonthly payment 1 month overdue .... again ...  and access is crap and miserable gits as well so another dumped ... for £60 a year cant be bothered with access and waiting a month for payment

Customer 3 = £8 monthly now owes me £16 part of a very compact round I do .. tricky access .. never in when I collect (collection round) seen me doing neighbours house when last there and legged it to his car hoping I didnt spot him ... they dont value clean windows so hes history .


These are early jobs when I first started hence low values


Then washing and tidying van and changing all connectors, cleaning my poles, cleaning pumps.

I think my record was about three years but it was only about 5 or 6 quid.

Guess you wont be working for them again. You should have gone down the CCJ route, probably wouldn't have gone as far as that as usually a letter before action from a debt collection company does the trick, only costs a few quid and would have saved you all those stamps, phone calls and hassle, I've had to go down this route twice, both occasions the value owed was substantial and have been paid up with interest etc on both occasions.

i dont really see the difference....
If i was behind during the week i would allways catch up on a Saturday anyway.The fact that a few people specifically asked for a clean on xmas eve saturday doesn't really mean a lot other than the customer thinks i am the dogs bollox for doing what they want on christmas eve.... ;D ;D

Just fulfilling contracts.
What's wrong with being desperate anyway?
I wonder if you would see it that way if you were one of my creditors.

Will you be visiting any shops/pubs/clubs between now and Jan 2? Just keep in mind that if you do, then you will be having to rely on someone who is having to work to help/serve you.  ;D
