    Get someone to proof read your words before you have the flyers printed.;)

    Good luck with your business venture.

    I'd be more likely to look at a cleaning flyer than anything - but I don't need the other services though. Could you have the cleaning one as your header and then somewhere further down the page say you will cook the dinner, whitewash the house, clean the oven and walk the dog all for a reasonable fee!

    Could you also offer spring cleans & cleaning for house moves or oven cleans for xmas etc... on an individual basis too? - price dependant on how big you anticipate the job to be.

    Good Luck with it all

    Hi you beat me to it with this post!!

    Having lost my day job as such i will be free 4 days per week soon and will die of boredom if i sit in the house all day so was telling dh about my ideas to do this..thing is i didnt want to sound like i would just do 'anything'!! I clean currently for people and a co part time and would be able to get great refs..as for the cooking etc again it has crossed my mind to do things like the veg not actually cook the dinner! ironing, cleaning the pets out..you see it can quickly spiral into looking like i am taking over their house!! I do bits now for the family i work for and they love it so it may work with others! bit like a nanny without the kids!

    The ad above given is a good one and ide advertise yourself as the main thing you want to do..so say cleaning then add the 'extras' underneath.
    Good luck let us know how you get on x
