hi all

thanks for your replies.
its not the amount of money owed,

Thanks for looking for me.
Not sure what that bit means though.

Does anyone have any advice on dealing with bad payers?
We did a carpet clean for a woman on saturday, we had quoted over the fone and had underpriced it on the description given. but hey ho thats a cross we bear.
anyway the woman asked for us to decorate her front room for her, its a large room almost like 3 rooms in one.
we gave her a verbal quote while we were there on sat which was agreed.
then late saturday night she called and said she was on a tight budget and could we use cheaper paint and not bother about painting the woodwork.
i gave her a new price to accomodate this and she stated she wanted white ceiling and magnolia walls and the job was booked in for monday and explained we would have it finished by tuesday.
arrived monday 9am to do make a start, she was at work, mum next door let us in and we made a start on moving furniture etc.
painted the ceiling with mum popping in n out every 5 mins saying is that all you've done, she said you told her a couple of hours and it be done.
due to large amount of furniture we decided to do one half then the other.
started painting the walls and again mum was in and out having digs saying ohhhh thats not magnolia she aint gonna be happy etc.
carried on and finished the first half of room and daughter came home going mad that we were still there, saying we said it be done by now and its an inconvenience us being there. she also started ranting about the colour.
showed her the tin... says magnolia on the tin and left her to it said be back today to finish it.
got there this morning,again she was at work but they had completely emptied all the furniture from room and we got on with it.
finished mid-day and her mum came round to pay us the money .
it was
