er...well...I er..got a phone call....I didnt remember the house and was just listening to her and then it all came back to me...
smurfy ....its our friends in the mansion....they havent forgot my number...help ...I need to do a runner...
I mean she does sound really nice on the phone....
she said...what was your day rate again...?
quick as a flash and remembering the £75 last time I said , and this was being generous..£100
oh no she said it was less than that....
I THINK she rumbled me...quick as a flash ..I said..
but that was ten till four last time and my day is nine till five now ...
oh...did you do them all last time...?
well er...yes except the building ones..
oh thats all done now..can I book you for a week on monday...
er..oh yes ..can you text me your address and I will book it in...
now come on I know there must be some lurkers around from middlewhich way or the surrounding area...
I AINT GOING NO WAY NOT ON MY LIFE...i am due to fall off my ladder and get a broken something or other so come on pm and you can have it....
just er....remember to say I am far too injured to ever clean windows again and your taking over..
for those of you who cant remember the original post I will try and find it ...but it was at least six months ago..so er...they may be dirty again...all leadeds and nope not soft leadeds all the old stuff..he doesnt want wfp either...and grandad will watch you like a hawk.
and she expects the insides done too....and also...lovely jubbly...the glass sided staircase which of course leads to the glass sided open landing set in a square from which you can look at the grand piano..
now dont scratch the private plated lamber whats it called or the merc he drives...
so how did I get dragged into that....well he just said that he had a windowcleaner who was ill and it was his wedding....now I wonder why his windowcleaner was ill and also ...why he never got better ..
he asked me what my day rate was which kinda threw me as these days I rarely do a day....
anyway I just replied well what did the other windy charge you...and he said £75 and then I said what hours did he work he said ten til four...so I just said...without looking ...another cheapie classic...I WILL MATCH THAT THEN...
so can you imagine my face when I drove through the gates...no escape...and met him on the drive and looked at miles of heavy leaded windows in the full blown sun...
so er...just how do you call barr...must ask the kids..
now tomorrow...I am behind locked gates again...and I have a gutter clearout gutter fascia clean etc...but I have watched the kids grow up and the lady is lovely...hes a bit scary but...some jobs you like and some....well you will not catch me behind them gates again..
