Asked a few customers in the past for their services and been turned down.

You know waffle (basically not interested).

Example, 2 corgi registered boiler guys
And two tutors asked for my daughter .

Shouldn’t feel so guilty saying no me thinks 😁

Anyone else been custard 🥧 pie’d

I do a few near to me but I still do them for the same as anyone else I can’t see the point otherwise,it depends what kind of relationship you have with them I suppose but it’s still money and your living at the end of the day.

I've had a boiler man customer tell me that he was too busy. That's fair enough and I won't hold a grudge.
I'm still doing his windows 3 years, 1 month and 14 days since he turned down my custom by text.

Working for people you know is always awkward, you end up feeling like you have to do it cheap as a favour.
