Don't you just clean if they're out and either collect or leave a SAE?

I've had one like this; a mean old woman who we dropped; but this was about seven years ago.

I can't believe established window cleaners keep stuff like this on their 'books'.

Johnny,

People like this are after a 'special service' and unless you can charge them a 'specially high price', don't bother with them.

Well said Tosh, I will accommodate some requests, but you can't let people mess you about, or as I said to one of my custies recently:-

I'm not a dentist I don't make appointments ;D
