Varied day
« on: April 23, 2010, 08:35:32 am »
Just to emphazise the need to diversify these days the job I did on Wednesday was-
Leather corner unit
6 leather dining chairs
3 bedroom carpets
Kitchen / dining / living area / large hallway Karndean to rotary clean , mop and apply 2 coats  polish
Fitted felt pads to all large furniture feet as thy were scratching the floor

This was a holiday apartment in Whitby for one of my best clients who are estate agents and  hoiday let business. You cant afford to let them go elsewhere cos you only clean carpets.

I had to rescue a duck today (asked by old lady whilst in the middle of a job for a neighbour) that had got caught between 2 fences. My pre-spray dried out (when I went back) and here's gratitude,  the sod bit me after I had just saved it's life. Odd day.

Still, getting my new van wrap on Monday so something to look forward too (apart from the bill of course)

Nice van but not sure he knows what he is doing, used to work for some bloke called Paul Pearce so not sure how well trained he is  :D

He's a nice fella actually, Adrian that is. So's Paul of course.

Ever walking the PC tightrope me (and ever getting it wrong)

If anyone has any testimonial comments to offer for the press releases I have to write then please ofer them up. Your firm will get a mention in the articles.

Define testimonials Peter. Domestic, commercial or what?
