I have a elderly lady who I've cleaned for a few years now, she hasn't been well all through November & twice I've been to her house and there was no answer only to be told by someone else she's in hospital.
So last week I said to her to ask her daughters to let me know if she wasn't going to be in she looked a bit taken aback and said everyone in the village knew so I should have known! I was very annoyed but explained again that I need to know if she's not going to be in her reply..'well no harm done'... never mind the fact I'm down £20.
She is a lovely lady by the way but this has really annoyed me!
I also have another elderly lady who I've cleaned for a few months, again she has laid me off twice in 2 months first time she had a hospital appointment second time she's having her bathroom & now she's having decorators in & isn't sure when she'll need me again. I'm getting really fed up but am also aware you have to tread carefully with older people as they worry so much.
Any advice please I'm losing money and feel like giving them both up but know they would be upset!
