I deal with the * we're ok this month brigade* by dumping them . Then the ones that drag their feet with payment I'll text them to say that I'm calling round later to get payment. They usually pay straight away. Then there is the ones that try it on like a regular one I did before Xmas. She was out but her hubby opened the back gate for me then along with his teenage sons watched me clean the back windows. Payment was still outstanding over Xmas so I sent her a message for which she replied did I clean her back windows because hubby said I was only there for 10 minutes. She paid but now she's dumped!

The trouble is she will bad mouth you as unreliable to neighbours and friends.  "You just can't get anyone reliable and honest these days. They are all the same. He obviously didn't clean the back windows as he was only here for 5 minutes."  They never see themselves as the problem.

Finally got started at 11am. Latest ive ever started. Tried at 9:30 but all windows on 1st house froze up so went to shops and came back.

Managed to get round them all though for 3pm.

Then got home and my transfer hose was solid took another hour to refill my van.

My work schedule was cleaned as normal although it was borderline for the first 2 hours as it was -5 which IMO is the limit for wfp with a hot system.
 One customer actually paid me NOT to clean her windows as she didn't want water left on her steep driveway. Fair enough.

It was great to be back out there. It was actually a nice day to be out and about. A really lovely,January day,fresh,sunny and cold with stunning countryside views blanketed in snow....

I also gritted a few customers driveways.😎👍

I had a woman I used to clean who owed me, come up about 8yrs later and asked if I could clean her windows. I told her she still owed and she paid me and said I will see you soon. Yeah right  I dont forget.
