I live near Junction 5 of the M6 near Birmingham 2 Years ago I got my first job since taking out a paid ad with Yell, it was in the middle of Birmingham but as I had no work over there I was unsure as to whether or not I wanted it, I gave a rough quote of £30 for a first timer she told me last Windy stopped coming and also did her neighbour. So I was doing this 1 hour round trip commute once a month for £20 as a regular clean until after a few months I struck lucky and got the next door neighbour for a £40 first clean and £30 regular (massive conservatory) so £50 for 2 jobs together but I needed to get more in the area so when my 1 year subscription ended with yell last month I upgraded the add and paid for additional targeted areas near these houses it paid off and until this morning that area and surrounding areas went from one £20 job to £100. So last night night I contacted my customers the £30 job said she'd leave the gate open and money in recycling bin, next door said she'd leave gate open and money with neighbour great :1f603: So contacted the other 3 one is Go Cardless ground floor flat no access issues, one other text back saying Gate unlocked and he's BACS and pays up no problem, the other one unfortunately had a hospital appointment but she never lets me down.
This Morning I get a text from the £30 job saying "Ricky it's pouring down here can you do them next week?" I told her I was aware of the forecast last night and I certainly won't work if it's pouring down as I don't like getting wet but it's going to clear up she insisted I left them. Then I get a phone call from the neighbour saying can you do mine next month as the rain will bring pollen down from the trees
on to the glass so one wanted next week and one next month so I still had to go to the others as I told them I was coming I'm not going back to them 2 jobs again it's such a shame but they said the previous guy stopped coming I always take that statement with a pinch of salt I've been fuming all day :delusional:
