We don't even bother quoting everyone gets told we are fully booked till Jan!

It annoys me that people expect me to drop my regulars who have paid all year just for a Xmas one off!!

Regulars come 1st  :)

Depends on whether you are over booked or not. I am so will barely be able to get all the regulars done before Christmas, never mind one offs.

We are trying to get all of Decembers work ( even the stuff that is showing to be done 26th to 31st ) done by the 23rd so have no time for one offs full stop!  ;) ;D

It's going to be a hard run up to Xmas this year  :'(

Stick a £50 min first clean charge on it. That soon sorts out the messers
