Sometimes it is nice to 'give'.....

Picked up a load of dog poo from a custies garden.
With my pole hose, my boots, my protecta ball and eventually my pole. >:(
-
Cleaned my parents guttering for love.

Ftp...I really think you should stop window cleaning and in fact any job dealing with people at all...you should write a blog...I look forward to your posts..
Cheers
Dave.

Every now and then and depending how I feel...I'll clean something for free and not tell the person...just because I feel good doing it...
A bit like being a secret Santa....well nearly ;)
Sometime I can get so into making the money that other things take a back seat..so doing the odd thing for free sometimes puts a little bounce back into my step...
Cheers
Dave.

took the misses out for a full days window cleaning training, never took a penny for it all for free ;D

No joke, egg on a custy window, took about half a minute Dave, the thing is, from the angle it hit the window, it looks really like the next door neighbour threw it. The next door neighbour is one of my custies too!!!! And I get on well with both custies. Hope they start to get on with eachother soon, getting a bit boring lol ::)
-
I would wind them both up - think of the fortune you can make from egg on windows!
-
No mate, if they all start this game I will be knackered after half a day. :(
;D sod it though, you're right, makes me look really helpfull, charge em more later, maybe 35 quid a window, what you think? ;D
-
Im not telling you, cos if I do it wont count ;D
That bit is one of my favourites.
For years I found it hard to tell if I was doing something because I wanted to do it or because I wanted to impress others. Simple answer. Just don't tell anyone ;D . Now how come it took so long for me to work it out?

Every year just before xmas I do a free carpet clean for the customer who started me off with window cleaning.
A small price to pay for someone who gives me such a good turnover in business ;)
-
Cleared away dead leaves, twigs & dirt from the flat roof over a bay window. If she asked me again though, going to have to charge her £35! ;D
Drum roll,............... symbols. Joke

There hav been times where i did a little extra cleaning on every vist for pensioners. i.e clean the guttering a little bit every time. If stuck for time i dont and they moan that i didn't do it!! You can be making a rod for your own back with some folk.

I suppose the thing is....when doing a little something for nothing and not telling the person...I have found that is what makes ME feel good.
So it is a win win...
But today...I'm ill and feel like poo.

Helped move a washing machine into a house.
Done a free kitchen window inside.
Probably more, can't think offhand...

I'm always getting asked to lift this or move that because its too much for the customer.
I now supply deionised water free to a couple of my customers for their irons.
