Just had a text from a customer asking to cancel as I left his side gate open.

He said: "Just found my side gate open wide. Can I exclude you and look for alternatives?"

Normally go through his garage if he is home but every now and then through the side gate. Thing is the padlock is always open (he doesn't unlock it each time). So anyone could gain access if they wanted to. Every time I go through there I close it but must have forgot this time.

Here's the classic. I've been cleaning his  windows for 10 years without any problems!

Not sure whether to save it or just say yes you can cancel thanks for your past business. Only thing in his favour is that it is my mistake but the pettiness of it makes me think stick it mate.

Price is good for the time it takes.

Ironically his neighbour came up to me on the day of the clean and I got him for £40 regular, this customer is £33.



Thoughts?

Bought a food flask yesterday, it will be good for my big soup. Also, got my Christmas presents sorted because I have some relatives who work in the building trade industry. 👍

Maybe if your a big poofter who can't handle the cold.

Others like myself just keep drinking cola and carry on.

 

Am sorry if I've offended your bf

Well, its this time of year when I stock up with cup a soup varieties from Amazon. You can buy 24 sachets for less than a pound a pop. Great for the guys who work a full day and have a flask or a van kettle. I just saw Makita now sell a battery kettle which holds 0.8 litre but not sure how long it takes.

Why the hell would you buy processed rubbish like cup a soups? Much better to buy fresh soup from your local supermarket. The pea and ham or chilli bean soups are my favourite. I take them to work  in my food flask in winter (usually with a round of sour dough bread)

I was a half dozen diet coke guy but ended up high blood sugar and high cholesterol. Managed to change to water and changed my diet to low fat. Saved a few bob and feel better for it. I like that idea of a food flask which is next on my list.
