Thursday 18th November - What small DFW things will you be doing today?!

Erme

Hugs all....review of first morning at work

First client was lovely though had to go back @ 1 cos didn't get all her hoovering done due to the fact I ended up pulling her hoover apart (it hadn't been emptied for ages - I kid yet not)...second client = - said stuff how I wasn't cut out to be a cleaner and how I wasn't a PROPER cleaner etc etc so only paid me for an hour (rather than 2 hours) and the first client paid me £1 short...

But I really enjoyed the work though ache like mad now....

First client was so nice...she made it all bearable and I heard her telling her nurse how nice I was though she does like to wind me up...

Thanks for everyone's good wishes....

Um, how are you not a "proper" cleaner...? Surely if you're doing something in a way your client doesn't like, all they have to do is ask you to change & all is well? I know some people can be quite particular about things but I don't see how his/her comment is valid there!

Surely they have to pay you for what you've done as agreed??

Sounds like you've had quite a day already, chin up x

Just popping back before the pub quiz :beer:

Erme just wanted to say don't worry about it. I have 20 yrs experience and a number of qualifications and still get people telling me they know best because they were a domestic on a ward 20 years ago !
Even get it from my own family :rotfl:
Its just people and their own issues , if you feel strong enough ask them what they would like you to do differently but please don't let them upset you .

We all need clients like the first lady , even if its just once a week it makes you feel valued. Stick with it

So far today I have:

• fed and watered the chickens

I can't wait till I get my girls on saturday I am very excited!

well off my list today i took the mince out the freezer and cooked a lovely dinner, I did some knitting and mostly spent the day out in the cold being the passerupper for my OH who is builing the chicken run. I can now feel the tips of my fingers now just my toes to return to normal.
