We received this on Saturday. At first I was completely puzzled as although the payment was only a few weeks late, we havn't done any £10 houses for ages and the name did not ring anybells what so ever.

Then I realised it was not a payment for window cleaning done this August just gone, but August last year.

The cheque was dated 28 09 2006.

i reckon she just needs her windows done bad now and that is why she coughed

[reah]

Tell her its £15.00 now

It's a doddle of a job.

One ground floor front window of 2 paines and a door. It's the ground floor front of a terrace house where the front door opens straight onto the street and is next door to a shop we do every week.

The longest part of the job is thinking about it.

I went back through the history on George and she'd paid every month for the previous 14 months but our policy on non payment is that one unpaid clean, we overlook but add it to the next bill but if no payment is received after 2 cleans then we dump them and forget it.

The bill she paid was for the 1st unpaid clean. Out of curiosity, I'm going to do her windows this Thursday and see if she pays.

I'm just a bit taken aback not only that she paid, but that kept the bill all that time.

Odd eh?

it was at the bottom of the drawer and she has just come across it.

Or her handbag.
Handbags are like a tardis.
Its amazing what my wife gets in hers.

If I had genuinely mislaid the bill and forgotten about it, then discovered the bill however many years later, I too would pay up or at least write or phone to see if I actually owed it.    Morally, I would feel compelled to pay it.  Mind you, I cannot ever see me not paying a bill that I owe.  Morally, that is wrong.
