We've all been asked by custy's how are our buisness's are doing in the recession. So what do you tell them??
i tell them that i have been hit extremely hard lost loads of custy's :(etc etc.
daren't tell them the truth that i am picking up work here there and everywhere ;D.
I just don't want to gloat while they are struggling to put a meal on the table while they scrimp and scrape to pay me.
Lifes a bitch sometimes

Yes to a certain degree, I do have someone cleaning my houses in Leicester at the mo so I get a bit from that.
I would be a lot happier once these bloody leaflets are out in customers homes rather than sitting in my living room.

I tell them that the recession is making it impossible for me to increase prices. Therefore I need to increase the hours I work instead. It's a good intro to turning up on a Sunday if I feel the need to.
How to be able to clean on a Sunday and let them feel that you are doing them a favour ;D .
