Title: Oops I did it agian...
Post by: simon knight on June 11, 2008, 04:08:28 pm

Always a sucker for pretty young girls I reluctantly agreed to do a builders clean.

Nothing major, just some paint splashes, bit of cement etc...not even a big house and all windows very accessable.

Reckoned 2 hrs top whack and said £40 ???...I know I know but she is very pretty (like I've got a chance...me Mel Gibson...not!).

Anyway....3 and a half hours later..... >:( >:(

Look up "w@nker" in the Oxford Concise English Dictionary as the definition will be:

I had one like that a few months ago. She was gorgeous when I was signing her up. However, 5 months later when I was calling for the 5th time trying to collect 3 months money, she didn't seem quite so attractive!

I'm not suckered by pretty girls. I'm probably too old to be swayed anymore by them :) However, I do get good prices now :)

If I had thought that it was going to take me 2 hours on a one off clean, I would have priced it at £100 take it or leave it!!  ;)

Don't you find that anything you agree to do thats out of your mainstream work always takes a lot longer than you expect?

One off insides are worst, followed by conservatorys and some first cleans on new houses.
