I've often wondered about this. 3bed with porch, id get 10 here. Wfp. Stick to your guns, you'll find they'll prob ring you back and say yes. They're obviously not happy with current cleaner.

£8.00 to £10.00 for four weekly and £12.00 to £15.00 for six weekly as in my area this is what I can achieve and shops are £8.00 upwards  ;D

  i asked wot happend to him she said hes not very regular,

What she meant as well is that by not being regular she considered him to be unreliable too! This was the point you should have been able to sell you regular, reliable service, no matter what the price :)

she pointed out that her self,he was not regular her self but at the end of the day its down to price she must of thought i would match the price she said also she would contact me if he stoped coming. if she dose it will be on my terms ie price the other 2 people had the same guys also
