Anyone clean family on their round?

« **on:** November 11, 2008, 06:40:06 pm »

Just wondered if anyone has family on their window cleaning round?

And whether or not you charge them!

I've got my aunty whom I charge £8. Also my gran, who I don't want to charge, but insists paying and says 'i'll never make any money'!

I do my mum's and charge her the going rate!

Also do my aunties and also charge her the going rate.

But I don't charge my nan even though she is worth a fortune, but she does look after me, last week I had 4 days off sick with a bad throst infection, she went and sent me 100quid sick pay, bless her

I do an uncle's house. Charge him £8, but he asked me to do it for that.

Yes same here!
I just remember the "No charge" song "...for the nine months I carried you growing inside me, no charge..."
Couldn't charge my parents even when they insist!
I paid house keeping, thinking about it!
Anyway a good tip... if you do, do them whether free or not... make it the last house of the day... you'll be there for ages, catching up. drinking tee...

Hi
Brother in law insists on paying and mother in law gets it done for nothing and she's the one who complains to the wife if I'm a little late

Mind you I do get a cup of coffee if she's in, even if I spend an extra 1/2 hour drinking it with her.
I am a bit surprised that she hasn't reminded the wife that the conservatory roof on the back of the house needs cleaning again - also for free.

Feel just the same about my Mum in law Mark, nasty piece of work.
