Don't collect, don't collect, don't collect, don't collect, don't collect ...

I like collecting

I get to see customers face to face that otherwise I'd never see.

I like the chat on the doorstep and it helps give my service the 'personal' touch

I'm currently skint; though all the bills and shopping have been paid/covered (just); but I'm outstanding just about all of my commercial work payments I've done this month, and a few from last month too (it all adds up to a tidy sum I could book a holiday with); and I did them all at the beggining of the month.

The only thing I like about collecting from domestic customers is that it keeps my cash flow to a reasonable level; especially at times like now; and I can cover the bills.

I really dislike being skint when I'm owed so much money.

A lady asked if we could quote for her house, so we did, and put a card through her letterbox while she was out. We then hear that the husband refuses to pay for the windows to be done and that HE will do them himself (yh ok). Lady has given him an ultimatum, do the windows within the next two weeks or we get the job...lol   He works 12 hour shifts, the windows are mostly leads, one sitting above a pitched roof and two large sets of patio doors, one of which is on the 1st floor !!

Oh I do like it when the female of the species puts her foot down
