Title: The perfect domestic customer
Post by: TomCrowther on February 23, 2011, 08:34:33 pm
Retired, wealthy, large house with easy access and wants it cleaned every four weeks regardless of the weather, has an interest in your business but doesn't want to chat for ages, pays on the nose, has insides done every three months and pays well for it. Gutters done twice a year. Recommends you to their family and friends. No dogs!
I only have two of these  :(

What about a large tip at Christmas and a brew whenever you call?

Forgot about the brew situation. One of them does have an italian coffee machine and the hubby makes a cracking latte !

350 bungalows all in a row with no access problems dog mess or rose bushes. Plus the odd yummy mummy who likes to sunbathe topless in the summer.

One quite sizable house today. £25 for 30 minutes work, lady tells me that she's really pleased with the windows, so she has decided to pay me £30 from now on because she thinks it's hard work for me. WHAT A GEM!

Na,the perfect custy passes away and leaves you their house worth £450,000. That is what happened to me today. I'm still in shock. I knew she liked me but I wasn't expecting the news I've just heard :-)

No Mark. She had no family or friends to speak of. I was the only person she knew. I cant believe it. Why would I joke about something like that???

I worked with a girl that happened to. Her next door neighbour was an elderly gent who she kinda adopted and looked out for. He went into hospital for the last time and while he was there he asked her to arrange a solicitor to visit because he wanted to leave the house to her.

Ok I need to keep this short, but my best customer is a rather tidy young blonde thing, she cleans the floor in the kitchen as I do the window's in a very short nighty, usually black but sometimes deep red, then when I knock the door for payment she invites me in ;) and she doesn't only pay for the windows she pays for the extra time on the job ;D



















then I wake up and the dream is all over :'( and my leg is all wet ::)

Got a lovely old boy that always makes me a cup of tea while i'm finishing off the rear windows of his bungalow. He's around 80 and proper old school. Always forgets how many sugars i take and sticks two fingers up at me as if he's telling me to 'f' off.
 ;D ;D ;D

am I going soft in my old age?
got one customer and old lady, was always a in - clean - get paid and out job never ever a problem.
she got stitched by some insurance company and it put her on proper hard times, now its a in - clean and out job !
I keep saying we will sort it out when things improve, what the heck if I was that hard up I would be signing on and anyway the feel good factor is well worth it.

1.    Lady in her seventies has the front of her (3 bed thruppeny bit bay window semi) house done (in among twelve other house fronts on a busy main road) every month. All the others pay £5.50 to £8.00 depending on whether they have been extended or have a porch.

Hers is a bog standard £5.50 to £6 job but she insists on paying extra and raising the price every year - it's now £9. And she gives me a tenner in December too!

2.    Lady doctor in a village near Bristol - late 30's, yummy mummy - an absolute scorcher - I was cleaning there last summer and she arrives home on a racing bike in lycra shorts and crop top. Looks at me coquettishly and offers me a cuppa fully knowing the effect she has on men but really pleasant with it. Down to earth type - drives a big old Mercedes estate. She was repairing the lawnmower (not a euphemism, Tosh  ;D) one visit, sat there in tight jean shorts and bikini top, hair in a scarf with a small oilstain on her cheek (face!).

Lives in a big victorian semi and has the flat conny roof done every time and it's £28 for half an hours work.

Sorry I'm drooling now.  ;D
