I had a fiver tip the other day from a £10 job.  That's the only one so far.

My biggest tip so far this year has gotta be to get another job..cos i'm a cr*p window cleaner. Seriously, £25 yesterday from a pub i do. That's the turkey paid for  and it probably won't get any better than that. I peaked early. Merry Xmas people

No, Roger doesn't want one of the daft pole things.  There's already too many window cleaners in the Chepstow area using them.

I've had around £30 worth of tips and a bottle of good wine; so far.

I'm saving all the tips to buy Wor Lass a Shurflo back pack for Christmas.  She'll love it.

Should you really be fantasizing about Wor Lass in a Back Pack!

I think you have some "issues" that you need to deal with Tosh

[AuRavelling79]

So far.....

Friday 1 bottle of wine and £5.50
Monday £2.00 and £7.50
Today £7.50 and £5

So £27.50 at the mo'

[Sir Squeaky]

Blimey I'm doing better than I thought...

I guess it's because I generally only do rich areas.

There's some places around me I just won't bother with, no matter what.

Tosh, I couldn't use wfp on my posh customers, they're very fussy.

  Always carry a bottle of wine around, when your customer asks about it
  just say got it from a customer, time of year you know.

  Works a treat as they then feel obliged to give you a tip.

I am usually given loads of wine.  I'm a teetotaler so I give them to my friends (yes, I do have some).  I was once given a nice box of chocolates and it wasn't even from a customer.  A customer's neighbour had locked herself out and the only open windows were upstairs so I rode in on my white charger to the rescue.

Dont forget that we have to declare tips when we put in our tax return :

[Sir Squeaky]

Does that mean I have to give them 22% of my wine and choccies too?

[Stuart webster]

There are some "services rendered" that cannot be valued!!!  LOL   

Aint that right Squeaks   

[Alex Gardiner]

I rarely get tips as I mainly do commercial work. But then I charge enough all year, so it doesn't matter
