Well today i lost my first house to the credit crunch, now i used to take losing customers personally and it used to Pee me off, as i know i do a good enough job
now i dont, its not worth it
here goes the story
this is a house thats been done by me ( or the guy i teamed up with for 7 years ) it was the 3rd house he priced up and got
the guy has a 3 bed detached house with a normally size conserv, not a big job
now here is what does my head in
a. gates locked, so i get and do the houses around him at 9.00, i knock on the door and he has to get up and dressed and then open the gate ( he is retired )
b. 2 garden green bins, 2 household grey bins, 1 garden round waste bin, 1 wheelbarrow, 1 double seat swing, they all need to be moved so i can get down he side path, moved by me
c. he NEVER writes a cheque, allways says " come back on thursday " ( the day the other guy used to collect on ) even though i allways say i dont, he will never send a cheque in the post either, i normally let it add up to 3 cleans then pop down to collect ( it really gets on his nerves to write a cheque for 3 cleans ), the cheque is never wrote when i arrive
now this guy is in his 70's , has 4 holidays a year, allways brags how his house is paid for etc etc, i phoned my wife to tell her the good news, i told hr i lost that house down the area i was, he response, Great, you allways moan about it when you get home
the price, 8.50 quid :

done every 6 - 8 weeks
