Another tenner today. (half day due to rain)

So running total to date ...

£69.00

Box of posh 'Borders' biscuits.
Bottle of wine.

Today was great! Had my youngest daughter with me. Out comes old lady customer. 'Here you are love! Here's a tip for helping your dad.'

£2.00! My daughter looks about 15 and I reckon she thinks she was on school holidays. 😄

I got a fiver. And ...

Wait for it, I kid you not ... a bottle of Wilkin & Sons Tomato Ketchup! (£3.50 from Waitrose 😄)

So we are now on ...

£76.00
A bottle of wine
A box of biscuits
And some posh Ketchup!
It's a game of three halves!

It's probably because your customers pity you with your knackered old van and holes in your shoes trying to scratch a living together in the dead of winter!🤣🤣🤣

It rains nearly every day in the northwest , I’d say it’s a smart move tbh . Better than being sat at home looking out the window for a week
