Title: Is this for real or what?????
Post by: Colin Day on December 25, 2009, 10:53:32 am
I've just came in from taking the dogs out for their yearly walk (So the missus would have you believe ;D) And there's a message on the answer phone "Hello, could you come out and clean our carpet? We've dropped a bottle of red wine on it!"

On Christmas morning? What would you have done?

Colin:

If it's a small job with limited furniture, limited travel, easy access AND PAYMENT IN CASH, then yes I would go but tbh I would charge accordingly which on xmas day would probably be 3xtimes my min charge (£150.00)

Think thats fair infact its probably quite good value compared to plumbers, sparks etc (if theyd even come out).

Same here,  id go out and do it today but would insist on CASH £150.00.  Or would go out 27th December £80.

If it was for real I would of gone out and done it.
1. Its money
2. Its business.
3.Its a good excuse to avoid having to sit and talk ,bird seed, to the mother in law before a lovely dinner, that will taste even better, after a bit of hard work.
4. A happy new year to everyone on this site.
Stevie.
