u r not the first to make a mistake. n .u .wont b the last .but if i were u .it b. bunch of flowers .etc for his wife .n a letter or verbal apology to his self .x plaining u been ripped off before n u made a mistake this time . never know he might ask u next time he wants it done .
I agree with this to a certain degree, a card will not solve it unless you hand deliver it to the guy (which I would do not just post it)
flowers for wife is not needed as I would say thats way ott, a card/ letter saying sorry for you error and a reason will do it maybe a bottle of wine (not the cheapest) to show you are sry for your cockup may soften the blow to him, I know it sounds like hassle but this could make you money in time.
Say sorry to his face give him the card/letter (with your mobile number for text) and a bottle and walk away, most people will respect you for doing it, as many would not bother.

Im not after more work in that area A its to far away and B YOU HAVE TO HAVE ONE EYE ON YOUR VAN WHILE YOU WORK.
while I did this job there was 2 lads in baraclavas flying up and down on a motorbike
Im not going back I just feel bad I insulted them when they were genuine
Iwonder what the replies would be if they had ripped me off
KIDS WILL BE KIDS,the point is it happened, if you feel bad do something to make yourself feel better, I have already said what I would do may cost you a tenner but thats not alot really to make yourself feel better.
one thing do not under estimate an area because you dont come from there, I lived in a quite rough area when I grew up, and most of the people where I lived had more money than others in the posher parts. thats another story for another day.
if you feel bad do something about it, if you dont care dont ( I think you do, which is good as there are far to many cowboys in our business)
if they had not paid you, then a choice would have had to be made, legal, revenge or move on.
This will happen in time I would bet money on it, I have had people knock me and got highly annoyed by it, took some to court, did a few other things when I started aswell.
That is part and parcel of being in business, you will do what you think best at the time, but at the same time you will learn from mistakes you make hopefully.
You will also learn a little from here to make your life and business that little bit easier.
Have a good one.
