A friend of mine that I dumped once due to messing me about was due a window clean today

So last night txt to tell her to keep the gate unlocked , "ok no probs " she txt back

In the same txt she texts with I owe you £12 from last months clean don't I

So how much is the window cleaning £8 ?

I txt back with no it's £12 hence why you owe me £12 DERRRRRR but obviously missed off the last bit .

Then this morning she texts back with .

" Stuart says it's only £8 so can you leave it this time as you will need to speak to him before you do it "

My reply was , well I haven't sent one as just can't be arsed with the stupid woman !!!!!

How on earth can a window clean be £8 if she owes me £12 from last months FFS .

No way on this earth would I clean her house for £8 I only done it for £12 as a mate rate

And now they are kicking up a fuss over £12 poxy quid .

If they come that old thing oh you said £8 lark il tell em to stick the damn £12 up her **** !!!!

Then last night they post on Facebook oh life is good blah lah blah we both work blah lah blah our house is paid for stu works 85 hrs a week blah blah blah .

Yet you are willing to diddle a "mate" over 12 effing quid go forth and mutiply .

Ok rant over I'm just seething at them they are really annoying me now !!!!

 
Dodger is right, get the money owed to you, otherwise it will bug you, keep the friendship; but take this as an opportunity to cancel the service.

 
Enjoyed the book Richard, read it all night I got it, couldn't put it down. Extremely good advice (won't say anymore).

 
I’m glad you liked it Dodger, I hope you (business) get something more from it.

Write a review of the book for the forum, I get asked loads of questions about it via email phone it would be easier for me to just direct them to the forum and ask them to read any impartial comments.

Yeah will do Richard good idea, without giving away anything obviously.
 
Can I have a discount if I buy it Richard ????

I gonna buy it tonight if I can .

Yes, you need to send me an email, I can then send you a paypal invoice; it’s usually £34.95. I will knock off £10 the total will be £24.95 that includes the post & packaging cost.

That offer will be open to the rest of the forum members for tonight as well.

I will be looking forwards to your review Dodger; don’t worry about giving away information, if you have gained new knowledge from the book you can share it in your own words and I don’t mind if you quote me if it helps to get your point across in a post on the forum.

The book is there to help and discussing any of the points made in the book is a good thing. I’m interested in hearing other people point of view; I don’t expect everybody to agree with all the points made.

Have a good think about who you want to direct your review to and feel free to say who you think wont benefit from the book, if that is the case.

 
Ok, I'll want to read it again first though at least once so it's all in my head which is actually a good thing about it, I read the whole 80 odd pages in a night so it's not drawn out into 3-400 pages which it didn't need to be and it's very readable.

 
I’m glad you picked upon that Dodger, it was a 100,000 words plus, it took a few draughts to get it down to aprox 24,000 words.

By all means read it again, it is meant to be re-read a few times, use a highlighter pen to mark points that’s of use to you, make notes, disregard what you don’t need basically use the book to your benefit.

 
Not being funny but what has a suppliers book got to do with this post dodger? are you on commision? Only 24,000 words is an essay not a so called book by the way /emoticons/biggrin.png

Dealing with ppl that mess you about is common sense surely? Get money due then drop them. Simples...

 
well did you no you can actualy take people to court over none payment its called the Small Clames court.

im sorry but people out there im going to protect my self and make people sign a contact its stop people messing me about and running up hugh bills. becouse in the end they wont pay.

Word count in books vary: My book is focused topically, content is more important than quantity, so you use as many words as you need and no more. Just padding out a book to make it bigger and then the information most likely wont be helpful and the book becomes boring.

Here are some more examples of ‘so called books’

Short Story: 7,500

Novelette: 7,500 – 17,500

Novella: 17,500 – 40,000

Novel: 40,000 +

I don’t think there are any rules for word count; some children’s books can have less than 100 words.

This description explains it better; don’t know who wrote but its good…… A good story needs to be like a lady’s skirt. “Long enough to cover the subject, but short enough to keep it interesting.”

Good luck , people will laugh at you asking them to sign a contract

And unless you are going to employ a solicitor to write your contract i wouldnt bother.

You make me laugh dave you been going 2 mins and think you know everything hmmmm this sounds familiar just like another H !!!

But at least he knows when to stop now .

 
You could simple have a piece of wording in the back of your receipt (which you post through door after.doing the work) that should be more than enough to cover your **** for a small claims court

well this is what people get if they Dont do they HOME WORK !!!!

a contract is leagal binding agreement, if they dont sign it i wont take the work and i wont risk the loss of any time petrol and loss of face when they ohh i pay you next time, or when they i havent got the money and look like a compleat idot on the door step.

claim amount if you use paper form if you use Money Claim Online up to £300 £35

£25

£300.01 to £500 £50

£35

£500.01 to £1,000 £70

£60

the cost of the applying for court so if they ran up a bill off 300 -500 its going to cost you 50 quid and if they don't pay up you can send the contract that a debit collector can buy off you so you still getting your moneys worth at the end of it.

oh buy the way i left details out so you can go forth and look with your own eyes people instead just making mindless sense.
