Chances are if you'd got the pricing right in the beginning you wouldn't mind doing it. Hike it up, if she cancels you're happy, if not, you're happy.

there is no such thing as a bad job only a badly priced job as my dad keeps telling me ;D

Just dump and replace with two badly priced jobs.
Or tell 'um you're French; they'll dump you :D.
Seriously, explain your predicament, bump the price up and the ball's in their court.

Why so bad ?

just put the price up to a price that you would be happy to do it for.
if that's £50, or £150 whatever it is, there will be a price that would make it worth the troublesome parking and gate!
we've had some houses, usually big ones that were under priced at the start, once it starts getting to me i put the price up to something that makes it worthwhile. you'll loose most of them as it means they've had a price hike, but the ones you keep become cleans you like.

Wear a black beret, and a string of onions around your neck, and arrive at the house on a bike . . . . then cut open one of the onions, and rub it on the windows, explaining this will be the method of cleaning the windows from now on !

Tell them you are leaving the U K to join there French foreign legion as you fed up with the english not wanting to fighy in Siria

Why don't you give her to another local windie who you know will do a good job?
You can send her a text saying
'Dear Mrs Smith, unfortunately I won't be able to clean your windows anymore, but I have arranged for another window cleaner (Fred Smith) who is very professional, to contact you and introduce himself. I am sure he will continue to do a good job on your behalf. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your custom.

French food being all brilliant.
I am a bit if a foodie.
The good food is really good but the food in general is dire.

The chefs around Hants area I think were trained at a very bad tannery.I used to work for a butcher and the chefs used to ask me how to prepare some meat dishes. Sorry mate i only eat the stuff. Altough saying that I do have a small meat product business that is growing by the day.We produce South African sausage and a processed dehydrated meat call biktong( us call it jerky)is simalar not not the same.

Very funny! ;D
But if you're wearing that get up you could explain you have too much work on and say:-
"Oooh, Betty! I've got myself in a bit of a pickle!"

I have a second small business making biltong,boerewors and drywors(dry cured sausage) and chili meat sticks.

Hey Ben
What we do is one of two things. 1) put my price up. So let's say it was £15.00 to clean, I would add £4. 2) Just let the customer know you have too much work and going to give the job to your mate. I do this and he just put's the price up and 9/10 keeps job.
