Yesterday, I was doing a big place I do, (£95.00 Georgian gaff) when the owner came out she said in her hoytee toytee way 'Excuse me, have you seen theres a dead rabbit on the patio', I says 'Yess....?', she says 'How brave are you feeling?'
I says '?' ;D
She says 'Might you need a shovel?', I says 'Yes, I would', she says' Theres one in the childrens sand-pit, a pink plastic one',
I says 'Havent you got a gardeners shovel?', she says 'I think theres one in the shed but its locked', I think to myself 'And youo havent got a key !! ?'
Anyway, I went for my lunch and came back, the rabbit was gone, I think the Halloween witch took it ;D
Not exactly a cleaning request, but puzzling all the same, I might look like Baldrick, I was thinking all along, but theres no need to speak to me as if I really am him ;D

On Monday when I was cleaning this woman’s house, I was asked to clean the horse box at the back of the house, good money. When I had finished she said that is the cleanest it has ever been, can you do it every time you come? Yes please ;D ;D ;D

I'd have declined the job offer on the basis that I'd left my fourteen-inch-squeeqie at home.

Anyway, the strangest thing I've ever cleaned were a pair of boots belonging to a Leutenant Colonel (the Commanding Officer), when I was in jail. He just dropped them off at the guard room and said to the Guard Commander that he'd pick 'em up the following morning.
Finding this task demeaning; I abused his boots. I won't tell you how exactly, but it took a took a lot of imagination and a 'right handed work-out to a Cindy Crawford keep fit video'.
The git.

Thats a clasic Tosh, I've heard of spit and polish but never ???? (fill in the gaps your selfs) ;D
As for Jasons reply, I would now take this type of work on, ;D as I now have a petrol pressure washer and a 25' lance ;D
I was asked the other day if I wanted to change my grandaughters nappy :o I replied to my daughter, I don't mind, but hang on while I set my lance and pressure washer up. ;D

I got asked to change some lightbulbs today. She'd somehow managed to pull at them, removing the glass bulb, but leaving the metal bits stuck in the sockets. Only took me 5 minutes to do, didn't even need a stepladder. I wasn't going to charge her any extra, but she insisted I take a €20 note!!
;D ;D ;D

I ended up cleaning a load of green gunge from a garden marquee once. It was pre-WFP so I used my Unger pole and applicator. Took ages but came up OK. A few visits later I got ripped off for the window cleaning money. Stinking rich pair of whotsits too.
Another odd job I got as a one off was fdrom an ice cream man. Baking hot Summer's day so I went to get a cone from him. He got me to wash his windscreen and gave me a free ice cream :)

I just read this post out to my other half and she came back quick as a flash: "Doesn't sound like a very stable job."
Oh dear, Oh dear!
Seriously though, I used to regularly clean large sets of mirror wardrobes for two custies a few years back 'cause they couldn't get them smear free themselves.

I got a call the other day to ask if we'd be up for earning £30 for getting a cat out of a tree 30 feet up, so we went there and as soon as we put the ladder up to the nearest branch the cat sh*t it self and jumped down lol, so we got £30 for doing hardly anything ;D

One of my older custies(but still of sound mind) asked me if my wfp thingy could clean her kitchen blinds. I said probably.............i'll give it a try if she wants to take them down and i'll do it in the garden. She said "oh no......i can't take them down.........can't ya clean them where they are??"
I advised her against that ;D
