Anyone clean family on their round?
« on: November 11, 2008, 06:40:06 pm »
Just wondered if anyone has family on their window cleaning round?

And whether or not you charge them!

I've got my aunty whom I charge £8. Also my gran, who I don't want to charge, but insists paying and says 'i'll never make any money'!

  I do my mum's and charge her the going rate!

  Also do my aunties and also charge her the going rate.

  But I don't charge my nan even though she is worth a fortune, but she does look after me, last week I had 4 days off sick with a bad throst infection, she went and sent me 100quid sick pay, bless her ;D

I do an uncle's house. Charge him £8, but he asked me to do it for that.

I do close family/friends for free but only when im free, they dont live on my rounds so i only do them if im passing doing one offs, but i generally tell em to use local wc as i dont have time :)

 :) Yes same here!
I just remember the "No charge" song "...for the nine months I carried you growing inside me, no charge..."
Couldn't charge my parents even when they insist!
I paid house keeping, thinking about it!
Anyway a good tip... if you do, do them whether free or not... make it the last house of the day... you'll be there for ages, catching up. drinking tee... :)
