just got off the phone to her ;D...

i told her that i cant except cancelations axcept for a good reason, if you havnt any cash i take a cheque or bnk transfer!

she said, "youve cancelled more times than i have!" which is true. ive moved her clean around aprobably 4 or 5 times due to various reasons like sickness van break downs etc which i explained were out of my control! :P

then i felt bad like i was being too harsh  :-[

so anyway i AM cleaning here windows tomorrow now and all is fine. unless she takes the hump from this phone call and cancels  ;D

lol @ u cancelling more than her, right back at ya!

I'd normally let it go, if its not regular. once a year is fair enough if I like them, and they're price is ok.

its ok mate Frank is a idiot everyday,but he dont see it  ;D
In hinsight perhaps is was better to put her on strike one,seeing she hasnt faultered before.
My advise would be to apoligise to her,say you been under a bit of stress recently blah blah blah

sounds a good customer to me. cancelling on the one occasion doesnt sound bad . not like the rabble of poop half my customers are, cancelling any which way they can . i know its a sign of the times  , i ve dropped so many custys cause they keep trying to treat me like they can pick and choose when they want them done i had this one custy who after sept clean has said every month not today . so i text her a minute ago to leave gate unlocked and she said no again and she wont want them doing till the spring ,  she has gone off my list for good. some people must think we pay a small fortune to get set up for them to have their houses cleaned 4 times a year. its a joke .  funny thing is there is that many windys about at the moment she wont have any problem getting her wish.

mate, you need to set your stall out better! really! your letting the custy dictate and run a muck! get it sorted mate!!! some may think im harsh but i take no prisinors and thats why most of my custys dont mess me about ever, becuase im straight on the blower to them like tonight, or i tell them straight to theere face how it is!

im not being harsh but get it sorted out pal! asap!
