dont you hate it when schedules get changes....one of my schools decided to cut back at the beginning of the year and of course the school looks crap..only wanted mowing once per month , so i put the price up as one does ..well they have a big event open day and i say shouldnt we tidy up a bit with additional visits ..they say well thats a good idea go back to your normal weekly schedule ..so now i have to work me ring off ( at a price of course ) to get it back..probably will cost them more thasn if left to normal visits....
As long as it works for you mate and you make good money. Afterwards (after they have paid) I would show them how much extra it cost being stingy and recommend 2 weeks all round with the ability to change at your discretion

Don't worry we will be told we have a five year plan in place. On top of the other five yr plans in 2006,2001,1996 etc.
Nah, I must stay positive and not fear being on the bottom under the Sun's because our last 5 yr plan from 2006 could kick in late.
Sorry, but it makes me grumpy year after year.

One of the things that makes me grumpy is people leaving rubbish in their lawn that can become potential missiles or ruin your machinery. One time we had someone leave their dog's running wire in long grass and it garoted (?sp) the rideon blades/spindle; the other day we were working on a property that is being renovated and we were assured all the building debris had been removed only to find it hadn't (see below), so the owner was told that any repairs to damage of our ride-on would be passed onto him - we got 3 out of 4 flat tyres on that job - nails, screws etc, so we passed the repair bill on to the owner - no arguments from him as he knew the condition of the site...

Making me grumpy at the moment are a couple of customers who just don't sem to see the work that goes into a job and complain about the cost.
Eg #1 - It's okay for a plumber to come and charge $150 for an hour to clean their gutters out (which I could have done) but for me to charge reasonable money for weeding and garden clean-up ($60/hour) they complain like there's no no tomorrow. "Oh but he's a plumber - you're just a gardener".... Made me almost walk away in disgust.
