It's that time of year.

New year, new me and clean house.

Spring cleans happen. Oh I will clean this house once a week. 

Want it monthly, as I will be cleaning everything in my house all the time.

FWD 6 months.

Novelty soon wears off.

Lol, i now have 17 on this site and are all spot on payers cash everytime with mega tips at xmas. I never trust gypsys ever but the old gypsy girls simply just love having there windows cleaned every 2 weeks and are more than happy paying £15 each time for it.
Got my first customer on the site from meeting her in a tattoo studio and got talking for a few hours whilst getting inked, she said where she lives no window cleaner would ever drive further in than the entrance so i asked why and she said because she lives on a site. I said id happily come and do them for her as she was a realy nice lady and from then which was 8 months ago i have picked up 17 in there and counting every 2 weeks.
As funny as it sounds Id love to have a full round of gypsy customers in caravans.

Despite their reputation I've never had any grief with Gypsey's at all. Ever.
There's a fella round our way collects the scrap with a horse & cart. He's sound. And the entire town knows him. And knows he's honest as the day is long.
