Age old problem, I just say I'll do it but can't guarantee when I can get it back to them, if they need it soon they better get it done at the dry cleaner. Gradually, everyone stopped asking, except my daughter, who helps me in return with other things.
My newest problem is I made new window drapery treatments for my LR, DR, and family room. Now everyone wants to know if I'll do it for them. I decided to tell them I was starting a business and my hourly rate was $30.' and it took an average of 20 hours per treatment. No one has returned with a followup. Ha, Ha.
