if your having problems with neighbours then either clean em for free of just stop cleaning them altogether.

if you cant do the odd favour for some of your neighbours then your a pretty sad person IMO.

Matt, what did the G1ts do to you then?

I used to clean their windows at a slightly discounted rate. The woman opened a shop nearby, so I went in there to buy something, despite ne giving them a discount for cleaning her windows she wouldn't give me a discount when the shoe wad on the other foot. Petty maybe, but I couldn't be arsed with her afterwards.
Was she aware you were giving her a discount. If not she will have though it was your going rate. ps what ever happened with the reverend whose bush you butchered. Did you send that letter?


Yes she was aware David, it wouldn't have bee an issue to me if she hadn't.

Not sure what you mean about the letter from my old friend the Reverend, he sent me a letter, I didn't send one back.

i clean 3 of my neighbours windows for free when i clean my own(which is usually about every 3 months!!)they are  flats though and only take a few mins each.it keeps me onside with the neighbours and besides most of my neighbours are skint and unemployed!! :( :(

whereas i earn plenty for my needs!! :D :D :D :D

will hopefully keep them out your van too!  :o I have visions of your estate being like the one on shameless  ;D

I will do a favour if its not my way of earning money.But for anything that I offer it as a service in my business.I will collect things at the supermarket, but no free window services.
