Am I the only one...
« on: 24 July 2011, 14:57 »
I only get the chance to properly clean my car every other weekend, so when I do I normally spend a good couple of hours doing so! I can't help noticing all my neighbours and people up my street look at me funny when they all drive past and when they see me with a massive wash green wash mitt on, and all sorts of cleaning products all over the front lawn!!

Am I the only one who gets these funny looks?!?!

People thought I was mad washing my car in the snow. I was having new Tyres and didn't want the weights to fall off so cleaned the wheels with my big coat on. Some of my friends thought I was bonkers. Lol

i usually point out that i'll need the car for at least 3 days, and 100 quid will cover the products, probably  :laugh:

That said one of my neighbours came up to the mrs in sainsburys today and started asking her if i'd do his car. Got home and went round to see if he was serious - he's my favourite neighbour i'd do it foc and he'd done it and hurt his back  :sad:

bit bad when he addresses the mrs as "mrs clean your car man"  :grin: just as well i'm working this weekend or he'd no doubt be signing our cards the clean car couple
