and so i turn up this morn for an in out on a house and the cleaner looked surprised.

..oh no she never said you were coming....no cheque left...so anyway got stuck in, not been done for a long long time and they came up great..

i went to do next door and the cleaner shouts ...shes back...you were supposed to come on the 11th... so i dont normally mess up ....i checked my phone as it was booked by text and was annoyed to find i had deleted all my texts as you have to every now and again..

.i could still remember her saying next week and of course its always a friday to catch the cleaner ahh but i hadn't deleted my sent texts...

booked in for friday the 4th april many thanks... but you don't argue with the custy....oh sorry about the mix up its been a hectic week ...oh it doesn't matter she said as long as it was done on a friday...well i want the cheque.... i of course did check the cheque....well last time she signed the amount thirty pounds in the signature bit and i didn't notice.....guess who will get two reminder texts next time....

 
sounds a mad un there
what she actually wanted, as do quite a few custys is clean windows just for easter.....the first time she tried to get me she collared me just before my xmas break,she was trying to find a suitable day for me, so i said just text me with a day and i will turn up, i knew she would forget but the windows were really bad as they had not been done for ages and i could see my chair at home waiting for me .....i didn't really enjoy the early break though as i was expecting her to text but i know how barmy people go near xmas and so i escaped.....you cant clean all the custys just before easter or xmas..../emoticons/smile.png

People live busy lives so do get in a muddle at times. At least you didn't do the wrong house now that would have thrown the spanner in the works for sure /emoticons/biggrin.png

Some lazy ppl about too that can't do their own cleaning

Funny you should say that @Shiny guess what?

I only had the first address written down on my job sheet as 104 but in my diary was 164A which I left at home. Oops!

Lucky for me I knew which house it was as looked it up on google before I left home. Must be my age or something /emoticons/biggrin.png

Yep indeed @Shiny ...

last week I went out without my diary or job sheet but new where the first house was then when finished I knew the second street name but for the life of me could not remember the house number. I thought I did so drove over to the street and knocked on the door but got a very strange look from a woman. No she said not us but you could try next door. I was so embarrassed I drove back home to find out what number it was. /emoticons/biggrin.png
