well i'm at a stage where i can pick my customers i'm not taking any work that comes in like i used to a few years ago.i'm just trying to fill some gaps
-
she said no at £6!!!!!!!!! :o
-
That is quite tricky for £6
-
swings and round abouts i just priced up a top windows only job literally drive up drive away ten minutes for £10 and the lady said £10 is that it?
where as couple of weeks ago i did a one off clean for £45 on a massive mansion prob 6 bedroom with swimming pool and the lady there thought i was ripping her off wanting £35 every 8 weeks, she made a comment which made my blood boil "i can get a east european cleaner for £7 per hour" when i told her the insides will be another £45, i told her to go ahead and get one cause i aint coming back

Think its a prob with the industry on a whole.
I know, when I go out in the car, keep looking at large glass buildings, gosh that looks dirty and then the next one looks shiney, you can completely tell if somebody has been there to do the windows. Its a big impression. My M and S, and Debnehams windows are clear and sparkly, you know that somebody has been in to do them. Makes a big difference I think

Jubbly thanks for the advertising done a grand job

No problem, enjoy the thousands of pounds that we will all pour into your bank account. Very professional. Good job you don't offer web-site design I suppose. ???
-
Eh?????

My reply to "ill do them myself" is "id like to see that"
-
Cozy my husband works in a sensitive industry so can you be a bit careful about posting his name over the internet, just think it through ey?
-
Cozy leave the poor girl alone she hasnt done nothing wrong too anyone on this forum,
-
Look, he put his name in that position. If he is in such a sensitive industry, then he needs to be a bit more carefull then. What's the sensitive industry then? Get over yourself, nobody hacked your site, you just got negligent and left it open. That's what I meant by "Professional".
God, your so dramitic!! Chill, you just got exposed for being a plonker. Not the end of the world. ???
No mate, she's a patronising prat who thinks all shiners are stupid.

She must think she`s getting paid.

i just got a bungalow today standard size detached no more than a 3 bedder, £15 a month! dont act desperate and you can nearly name your prices 8)
which is easier said than done if you are desperate
-
I got a call last week asking how much for a con roof. I said prices start at £15 but i'd have to have a look.
Went there and told her it would be £25. She was put out and said i told her £15 on the phone and she'll get her sons to clean them with a pressure washer (It is a farm).
Her son charged me £80 6 years ago to empty the septic tank of my house. It took him 40 minutes. ::)
I couldn't be bothered to say anything apart from ok. Some people still think we should be grateful to be earning a tenner per hour still.
Cozy mate, why are you hounding to the point of bullying kate?
You don't like her for some reason..... hey ho can't like everyone.
But every so often you go after her and look for ways to put her down. Nit picking and trying to score some sort of victory over her.
What is the point? It has the opposite effect and makes you look petty and generates sympathy for kate. Which is why there aren't hordes of people following your lead.
You're alright apart from the chip on your shoulder you have with her.
I ain't looking for an answer mate. It's a rhetorical question. Just there in the hope that you can think about it quietly and sort it out with yourself.

What a tightar*e - £6 for 5 + 1 filthy windows and frames? That's a bargain and it's not as if you're up north.
