End of April in between the showers I tool up to a pair of houses (two-monthlies) and Mrs T in the left hand one says "they don't need doing" I reply I can't be doing with turning up after two months and being turned away so it's now or never (or somesuch) and she says she'll leave it.
Turn up yesterday and she asks Dan the Man if we are doing hers and he politely explains that she didn't want us last time and that (me) says we can't turn up and be turned away etc.
Abject apology and accepting of Gold's terms later and I take her back on.
So we'll see how it pans out ...
