I just KNEW this was gonna be a bad idea....
A commercial client who is a right PITA at the best of times...oh there's 3 bits of grass in the shop (they must have blown under your door honey cos when I mow you're closed!!!!!!!). Oh can you do it cheaper??? Then...can I pay by monthly account?
Little voice in my head (and loud voice of wife) said NO...BACK AWAY SLOWLY...DO NOT GO THERE....but did I listen??? Nope.
Now we are still waiting for the payment for October and November's account has just been issued. I'm wondering what creative excuse she'll have this time??? First we got...oh the cheque is in the mail (yeah right..oh and seeing as I said strictly cash or EFT, why send a cheque??). Then 2 weeks later is was..oh we give the mail to my mum and sometimes she forgets to post it...will send another immediately. Another week and still no cheque...so I drop in to the shop to make life easier for her..oh I don't have that much in the till and I left my cheque book at home
Having just printed out the next invoice including past dues and the weekly late payment fee my wife had the forethought to include on the invoices, I am not hopeful of getting my $$$. Merry Christmas.
oh and don't expect me to mow your lawns this week either!
