I had one a month ago. Rang me to see if I would go and give a price. Said she was after a regular clean and wanted monthly. I went along and the frames were a mixture of ali and flaking wood. The whole lot was minging and access was crap so I said I didn't want to do them.

I also clean a neighbour of hers, next door in fact. Went to do it yesterday and the 'every month' quote was up for sale or to rent. Lying cow!

I've got a strange one at the mo who I thought was having me on. But now I'm not so sure. I'm beginning to wonder if she's losing it due to her age.

Once or twice over the years she's been on my books, she appears to forget how much she pays and tries to pay me less. Then when I remind her how much it is she swears she's never paid any more than what she's offering. We usually resolve it and then she'll be fine for six months till the next time. However, lately it's started happening every time, and each time it's getting cheaper and cheaper. We have the same convo all over again and she looks pained as if I'm trying it on. Last time she even said "Look if you have to put them up just tell me. I don't mind, but don't just put them up without telling me."
And I'm saying " But I haven't put them up. That's what you've payed me for the last two years.
Of coarse the less she thinks it is the bigger the amount it looks like I've put them up, so the more upset she's getting each time.

I somehow don't think I'm going to be doing them much longer.

I had a crafty one a little while back. "Please can you clean again on the thirtieth because we will be moving just after that and would like it spick and span for the next people, oh and we would like to keep you on for our next house"

I turn up for the clean on the pre-arranged day quite early and peep through a gap in the curtains - the whole place was empty!

Turns out they were renting and had cleared off the day before and obviously thought they could sting me for an end of tenancy clean and not pay.  >:(

No forwarding address either what a suprise.

she is clearly lonely and uses this banter as a chance to chat to some one. ive got loads like that but dont try to under pay just make up other excuses to take up my pressous time >:(

That strikes me as being a slightly over the top reaction.

No need to call someone a slag because they're lonely.

think he was refering to the person that tried to get a end of tenancy free clean
