No one will do better than Daz, it's not possible, he's the best window cleaner in the UK. Disrespectful to even think you could be a better human than Daz

I got my first one on Monday actually!£4 from an elderly customer on my granny flat block!🙂

[dazmond]

Just reminded me to buy my xmas cards for my customers soon.ill just buy 200 as I won't get round all my work in Dec.👍

[DJW]

I don’t buy mine, I get sent them generally with money inside.

[AuRavelling79]

I don’t buy mine, I get sent them generally with money inside.

Big jumbo bottle of Tipp-ex and send them on (without the money of course!)

[dazmond]

£39 up to now.....plenty of time yet lads!

[AuRavelling79]

Got one £20 cash on Friday. Very unusual.

[deeege]

Had £15 so far but don’t expect to get much more than £100 in total tbh. Tips have massively reduced over the years as my round becomes more Commercial focussed and all domestics are paid online anyway.

I got a tip first job this morning………don’t bother coming back I’ll do my own from now on😂…..that’s the Xmas spirit eh? She was a bit disgruntled because it started to rain quite heavily just as I was finishing her house😄

[Smudger]

You should have been wearing 3 coats - 😜

Yes that might have helped along with the Xmas card/begging for a tip card😁

[Ggh]

    Had £20k paid to us by accident on Friday!!



Had to give it back today. 
 

Ho, ho, ho.

Thought that the bank investigate anything like that before it’s re payed due to money laundering rules ? Especially with 20k   , hope it wasn’t from a relative in some African country scam type of thing ?.

Nope, from a regular client.

[AuRavelling79]

Got a carton of 48 mini packs of Border biscuits from a small commercial job. A mix of chocolate chip cookies, butterscotch crunch, Viennese whirls and golden oat crumbles.

Got a fiver from a regular crusty.

On £25 so far.

[dazmond]

I'm currently on £166 and a large box of Lidl biscuits!😄

[Bungle]

I'm doing ok ish. Quite a few dead certs haven't tipped. I've had about 30% of last years total so far. I don't think I'm going to reach it this year.

[Stoots]

Maybe 30 or 40 quid as usual.

[dazmond]

Lots of customers haven't tipped that have done for many years which is understandable due to the ridiculous cost of living I reckon...

Then I'm getting tips off other customers that don't usually!

I tipped my postman a tenner yesterday.ive known him since I was a kid.🙂

It depends on the lad for us. We had a lassie that worked with us a few years ago, she wore a santa hat and was full of "Christmas cheer", She got more than all the other lads put together.

I doubt Unravelling69 has any cheer left after brightening up CIU.

[AuRavelling79]

I've never collected. Always get about £100 and a couple of gifts.

Which is happening next week so I'll report back.

Surprised you don’t get more tips given you send out begging letters Christmas cards Daz.

I’m on £200+ now and send out no cards and only have roughly 100 domestic customers.
