Title: Strangest tip ever!
Post by: CF Facilities on June 29, 2013, 12:44:38 pm
Hi I don't get many tips but I had a good week this week.
I got three pounds from one customer and one from another. But best of all from one I got a brand new still in packaging.........ladies handbag!

Customer used to run a company selling em but went bust but still has lots of samples left.

I think I may have to act more macho when im cleaning windows LOL.

Two kittens 2 years ago, which I accepted and are now fully grown cats.

I've been offered a tree (bloke owned a garden centre), some ratty old garden furniture that the owner thought was mint condition but was suitable only for the scrap heap.

And last but not least...
a date with this woman's daughter.
(not joking)
