Yesterday, I was doing a big place I do, (£95.00 Georgian gaff) when the owner came out she said in her hoytee toytee way 'Excuse me, have you seen theres a dead rabbit on the patio', I says 'Yess....?', she says 'How brave are you feeling?'

I says '?'  ;D

She says 'Might you need a shovel?', I says 'Yes, I would', she says' Theres one in the childrens sand-pit, a pink plastic one',

I says 'Havent you got a gardeners shovel?', she says 'I think theres one in the shed but its locked', I think to myself 'And youo havent got a key !! ?'

Anyway, I went for my lunch and came back, the rabbit was gone, I think the Halloween witch took it  ;D



Not exactly a cleaning request, but puzzling all the same, I might look like Baldrick, I was thinking all along, but theres no need to speak to me as if I really am him  ;D

On Monday when I was cleaning this woman’s house, I was asked to clean the horse box at the back of the house, good money. When I had finished she said that is the cleanest it has ever been, can you do it every time you come? Yes please ;D ;D ;D

I'd have declined the job offer on the basis that I'd left my fourteen-inch-squeeqie at home.

--------------------------------------

Anyway, the strangest thing I've ever cleaned were a pair of boots belonging to a Leutenant Colonel (the Commanding Officer), when I was in jail.  He just dropped them off at the guard room and said to the Guard Commander that he'd pick 'em up the following morning.

Finding this task demeaning; I abused his boots.  I won't tell you how exactly, but it took a took a lot of imagination and a 'right handed work-out to a Cindy Crawford keep fit video'.

Thats a clasic Tosh, I've heard of spit and polish but never ???? (fill in the gaps your selfs) ;D

As for Jasons reply, I would now take this type of work on, ;D  as I now have a petrol pressure washer and a 25' lance  ;D

I was asked the other day if I wanted to change my grandaughters nappy :o I replied to my daughter, I don't mind, but hang on while I set my lance and pressure washer up. ;D

I got asked to change some lightbulbs today. She'd somehow managed to pull at them, removing the glass bulb, but leaving the metal bits stuck in the sockets. Only took me 5 minutes to do, didn't even need a stepladder. I wasn't going to charge her any extra, but she insisted I take a €20 note!!

I ended up cleaning a load of green gunge from a garden marquee once.  It was pre-WFP so I used my Unger pole and applicator.  Took ages but came up OK.  A few visits later I got ripped off for the window cleaning money.  Stinking rich pair of whotsits too.
Another odd job I got as a one off was fdrom an ice cream man.  Baking hot Summer's day so I went to get a cone from him.  He got me to wash his windscreen and gave me a free ice cream   :)

I just read this post out to my other half and she came back quick as a flash: "Doesn't sound like a very stable job."

Oh dear, Oh dear!

Seriously though, I used to regularly clean large sets of mirror wardrobes for two custies a few years back 'cause they couldn't get them smear free themselves.
