[007 or what]

I suppose we all do them a bit like mates rates but for mums and dads house's we keep too special prices, well i do anyway. But now my dad has had a huge extension and i've said i'll be putting the price up by a quid, Do you agree that i'm running a business not a charity (have not put the price up in 3 years.) or do you think i'm being a tight git and should keep the price at the same rate?

After parents spend thousands upon thousands of pounds, and thousands of hours in raising up their kids, the least they can do is clean their windows for free.

So what if your dear old mum phoned you up and said: Dave my windows really need a clean, any chance of giving them a once over when you've time?

Would you say:

a) Sorry mum i don't do friends or family.
b) Sure mum, but I have to earn a living so you'll appreciate I have to charge.

I think you should do it free of charge.  How many other people would have sweated to keep you fed and watered for the first 16 - 20 years of your life?  Payback time I think.
This is a late April fool, right?

 :)just for interest how much do u charge ur PARENTS for this job

Absolutely, and gutters/fascias/soffitts. My father pays my cheques in whenever he goes into town, the least I can do is make sure he has clean windows whenever I have some free time.

[frames to panes]

I would clean them every two weeks for free and look after your inheritance if i was you 007 

[007 or what]

£25 every 6wks its got twice as many windows on the front and a window that needs a ladder to get too.

Do my 3 daughters houses for free and one has just moved into a new house, she asked me how much I would charge her for the guttering, my reply was free to family.

If I do any work for family I only charge cost, if it costs me.
