I do mine every 4 weeks, when I clean others around the green that my flat looks' out on.
Hate doing it, I never get a tip, and have to put the kettle on, find the coffee, and make my own!

Once a month, same time as I do some of my neighbours. For all the time it takes with WFP there's no point not doing it!

My neighbour makes me do his, i sneaked and did my own the other day :) he does give me a fiver, but i feel bad taking it, i get over it though :)

Mine used to only get done about 3-4 times a year, however we've now got three other houses to do on our estate so mine get done with theirs on a monthly basis.

I refused doing the neighbours for ages as there was another cleaner doing them already, however he's gone now and they want us to do them.

I  don't do my own, haven't got time, too busy trying to make money. So I get the local lads to do them each month, they're ridiculously cheap, 5 windows and the sills for £2.50, . I told him he's working for nowt but he says he's too scared to increase his prices for fear of losing work. I started giving him £3 now , even if it was a fiver I'd still pay it cos it saves me doing it, although I do clean my conservatory a few times a year!!

I do them when I've had enough of my wife moaning at me too...

Once she kept on and on about me doing them, and I kept saying yeah I'll do them tomorrow etc... It went on for about a month and then one day I got home from work and she had locked me out and wouldn't let me in until I had done them!!!

I always tell her she's the worst customer I've ever had!  :)
