I have a few like that, they are either great customers or total pains, only time will tell ;) some are just desperate for a regular service and others are just paranoid freaks ;D either way as long as they pay I don't care

I had one custie sack me because I wasnt regular enough. She wanted doing every 3rd monday of the month and if I turned up on any other day she would turn me away, saying that its not convenient! ::)

She's obviously a lady with a big ego who expects the world to revolve around her.  Well she's wrong.

The world actually revolves around ME!

I'm like that too  Daz.  I tell them that I aim for 6 weeks but it can be 6 - 8 weeks if things don't go smoothly.  I also tell them that in winter it can be longer still if we have a freeze-up.  It automatically means that in winter I take longer to get around.  Most are fine with that.

  I run on a 5 week round, always tell them 5 weeks minimum, may well be longer, especially in the winter or holiday season.

  Had a customer (6 years on the books) accost me in the local shop one day, ranting that she hadn't seen me for 46 days!

  I told her to get out more, that way she would find a regular window cleaner.
