Had my fill today , went to collect my £12 from custie , husband came to door and says did my wife have a chat with you , i said yes , she told me to leave them in nov and start again in march , this i did and was asked by him who gave you the go ahead , i told him we are now in march so i cleaned them , she never said to clear it first , march is march surely !
Red rag to bull was the case , i went mental , told him to keep the money as i was trying to run a business and was not in the game to get ped upon , i said i am sorry for my shortness but if you had any idea how much money i lose per year from writing off debt  due to people moving posts to suit them .
He saw my view and became sheepish , then says i have no cash in the house , can you come back at the weekend !
Yeh mate , im gonna waste my time commin back to find your in the city spending your money on your dizzy fookin wife , goin on monday to catch her , see what she says .
Had my fill , no more B.S. for me , if i have to decimate my round to get it into shape then so be it , taken crap from these idiots out there for too long , cue Bob Dylan !

Rich, we don't do "Leave it till spring" mate. And don't forget, it's easier to find GOOD custies then it is to find GOOD window cleaners.

not very personal shouting at custys,what ever the reason,wonder why windys get a bad name.

Indeed sometimes you have to take a few hits to bash the round into a decent shape.
I once gave away (no charge) work worth over £500 a month to help with this - back around 2001.  It was my original work and badly priced so didn't have the cheek to sell it.  The guy I gave it to was happy as it got him started.  There was a lot of £5 - £7 a house stuff in there.  You could earn reasonably out of it (even with a ladder) if you slogged because they were mostly within a couple of miles of each other.
I would have a pretty full round these days too but for WFP.  I get through the work so much more quickly.  Time to build it some more.

i only have one commercial customer who i leave in the winter(caravan holiday park).


any domestic customers i dont take any "leave it til spring" nonsense.i politely tell them i work all year round but offer them 8 weekly instead.

i had a customer a few months ago say "leave it this time" twice in a row and said can you leave them til spring.she said the windows dont need doing(they were filthy by the way!).i said sorry love but i dont work that way but i can offer you 8 weekly.she said yes thats ok but can you leave it this time(again!for the third time!).no good reason eg building work,painting etc.i just laughed and walked away!!

i dont lose it with the customer though.i very rarely have any people who ask me to leave it til spring.


sounds like you need a good sort out mate.surely window cleaning is still bringing in a good wedge of money?

it sounds like your struggling and comes across desperate having a go at a customer just because they dont have your money there and then.cant they send a cheque or pay online?


best wishes

calm down dear its not a commercial  


we all get people like that so be cool for ca-a-a-a-a-a-ats so my best advice to you would be
BABY PLEASE STOP CRYING ( stop crying )  STOP CRYING ( stop crying ) STOP CRYING ( stop crying )  BABY PLEASE STOP CRYING  

but ask yourself is it a good idea to go there monday and go KNOCK KNOCK KNOCKING ON THE WOMANS DOOR ?

I aint doing anything as I have a commercial job on sunday morning over in Oxford with Steve-c    so if I have a few on saturday he will think hes having a conversation with fooooking PINGU 

[P @ F]

It was time these people got shouted at , once i didnt get there for 2 months , the husband actually went out of his way to stop his car on a busy street to see that i got there shortly , i explained that our newborn daughter was having health problems and i would be back soon ,
When i got back to them and did the clean , knocked on the door for the cash , she comes out and says you didnt do the con roof , i told her that it was never in the price , i just gave it a going over now and again as a favour , her reply was , well there seems little point having any of the windows done then !
Took my money and walked off , thing is i actually took the time to do the roof this time , and then the posts got moved ..........THEY NEEDED SHOUTING AT ME THINKS ........OR DUMPING !

Dont play the PRO card with me , i have always played ball and bent over backwards , i dont have to do it anymore , and i simply wont , as already stated , times are changin
