i do a woman's ironing. usually £6-£8 worth a week. she never pays me teh right amount. she gives me a tenner and then says "oh good. i get credit". so i am ending up doing her ironing some weeks and getting paid £1.20 or something ridiculous (as she's overpaid me the week before). it was recently 80p.
yesterday i had had enough when she gave me a tenner and asked her to pay me the actual amount. i said that it's crazy that some weeks she pays me £1.20 for ironing which takes me an hour, etc. if work overpaid me one month and then paid me less the next it'd be equally as irritating.
i text her 12-18hours before she gets the ironing to let her know what the cost is. i don't think i'm being unreasonable to ask her to give me the correct money. she knows every week that she'll have to pay me. but if i am being an unreasonable old bag then i'll accept it (aaaggghhhh!!!)
i'm not a registered business doing ironing. she's a friend of a friend etc.
