Set off from my house in Sprowston, heading in to the city. Sun was shining, it was actually a lot warmer than we both thought. Did a gentle run in as Len had just informed me that she had just done a leg session at the gym..Hard-core! Mrs. J was waiting for us, front door was left open, we knocked no answer, then we shouted in 'Hello Mrs. J '. She beckoned us in, she asked us if we could pull up all the weeds in her back garden patio and give her front door a clean inside and out. Just as we were setting to work after a quick chat with her. She asked for a cuppa. Len went to clear her patio, while I made her a cuppa, she was very precise on how much water she wanted, so I was very careful not to get carried away and pour too much in. Went to give her front door a clean inside and out. I then checked on Len who had been busy pulling all weeds up and just finishing up outside. I went indoors to see what else she wanted done, Mrs. J asked me to clean her mirror and we enjoyed having a good chat about dogs. Len and me then set to work cleaning the rest of her windows and doors outside and then indoors. Mrs. J was very surprised to hear we ran to hers. She thanked us and seemed pleased with what we did for her. We tidied all our products/threw rubbish away. We set off back on our merry little way home, as Len had plans for lunch at the pub and I fancied heading out in my new car with my hubby and pooch. We bumped in to a fellow goodgymer Tasha as we were leaving the city. She was also out on a run round the block. We parted ways as we went to head in a different direction out of the city to my home again. Mission Completed! Another Happy Customer!!Boom Happy Sunday peeps...
