If anyone is going to give a tip they will , at the end of the day you are there to do the work for price that was agreed , it sounds like you are expecting to be tipped .

Being tipped is just a bound, if I get one I'm happy, if I don't I'm still happy. You don't tip the check out girl at tescos! Lol

if i get a tip thats great ,but we have no right to expect them,we are getting paid for doing the agreed work, do you tip your postie, lets face it he comes everyday, you only turn up once a month.. :)

It's not always about getting money; it's nice to be appreciated.
A card or a few words means something, as well.

thats true griffin,it really puts a spring in your step when someone tells you that you do a great job, and if their telling you they are probably telling other people too and you can,t buy that...

Got a bottle of wine yesterday from a second clean. I couldn't believe it. People just don't have the money for tips at the moment. I am happy for a cuppa tea, maybe a buscuit and a smile, that'll do me.  ;D

I am grateful to have the work and to be paid the asking rate for it. Anything extra is a bonus, and whilst always very much appreciated, is never taken for granted or expected.

I have a few who always give something at xmas, booze chocs etc. or a few quid extra.
To be honest, I've always felt a bit guilty at not even having a card for them.
With this in mind I made a few of my own calenders this year, they fit in a cd jewel case that flips over to make a stand on a desktop. Always have one in my pocket when I knock, if I'm tipped they get a gift !
But agreed, its not to be expected, but a nice bonus when it is.
