I'll be honest mate, my quote stays the same regardless, but I will treat her better than most, chat a little longer, and maybe go the extra mile a bit by doing the odd extra.

 
i know what you mean ive noticed if you help them out they normally offer you a brew /emoticons/smile.png
And get you to change the clock in their car, tune the telly in etc etc....the list is endless. Biddys take the urine.

 
Ive got an oldy, mary her name is. One of the nicest ive met so far. Did her windows for the second time last friday and she just stands and watches me the whole time, not that i mind cause we have a bit of banter. But first time it was oh can you just take my wheelie bin out, and last time she wanted me to clip abit of gutter back togethor because it was leaking. Didnt really mind doing either but im worried next time its going to be something bigger haha..

She might want you to take something up her back passage next time :rofl:

 
Agree with tolish ! Going a bit for Them , sometimes we are the only ones they see .. I once put up a pictureframe for an old old and long-gone deceased woman .. But , doing the kitchen Windows inside maybe ..

 
I used to do chores for an old lady who had no kids. Take her bin out, change light bulbs. Even give her a lift into town. Done it for years. Was hoping to get her bungalow when she went. Or at least a few grand. Well she died and I got zilch. Nothing. But the dial a ride bus driver who had only known her for 6 months got £5000!!!
