Nearly £250 so far and we are only just out of November.
Looks like a bumper year.

You should charge em more you’ll earn more all year but you won’t get a tip at Christmas 🎄 lol.

your customers probably feel sorry for you.....do you look downtrodden and drive an old tatty van? ;D
£110 here which isnt bad considering its only 2nd dec.... :)
-
Sad Daz but I think you are right.
-
Are you guys who have received lots of tips mainly normally receiving payment by cash or dropping hints with Christmas cards?
-
So far I’ve got £20. ???
Either I’m doing something very wrong or very right. I can’t tell. 😄

That's £17.50 more than me ;D

Nothing for me, dont think i even hit 50 quid last year. Dont really speak to my customers and pretty much all pay online so not surprised.

Made me laugh that Daz.
Was just thinking today it’s about time you put up your yearly Xmas tips post. ;D
-
Tips stopped when I went WFP. Which also coincided with reducing the amount of collecting I undertook.
I’d say it seems more about the mentality of the customer or demographic than anything you are likely to do throughout the year or level of service you provide.
Unless of course by comparison Daz looks down trodden and his van is tatty…

You must have a very high priced round just like NWH.... ;D

I was joking.....
Some customers just show their appreciation with extra cash at Xmas time....
People tend to be more personable and generous up north.....
-
I find it's mostly the cash payers that tip, I don't get a lot of cash payers these days so the tips have declined, I'm on about £70 and a bottle of red wine (yuck).
-
Slacky has hit the nail on the head when using ladders nearly everyone tipped.
-
A big fat 0
But I only work two days a week now ;D
-
£4 and bottle of wine so could be a record year, if I get more than Stootsy be made up

lots of customers who pay online will also give me a cash tip if their in when i clean,others pay me extra online so win win for me....
i actually thought that when i stopped collecting altogether a few years ago my tips would dwindle but they havent...i usually get around the £500 mark altogether year on year...

The only thing about getting tips online is that it becomes taxable, whereas the cash tips go straight in the hipper🤐😜

Better off giving them the booze Mike as they only spend the money on hard drugs anyway

Getting a few tips now but thinking of skipping sending Christmas cards this year and just go all out with a begging letter ! Has anybody tried this approach ?
-
Probably had about £100 so far, in cash and booze, but not counting; it seems the ones that can least afford it, give you the best tips!
I'm gluten free (I don't advertising it) but one of my customers knows and gives me a gluten free hamper every year! What a lovely gesture.
My missus recently came back from Lanzarote with her 'Toy Boy' and the extra forms (there and back) are a little bit more than we are used to.
I'm taking her back out to the same hotel in January, so Daz, extra forms to fill out before you go and extra forms to fill out before you come back (2 days before you fly back, so you need to do it in the hotel). No great problem, just a bit of extra agg!

TBH I don't wanna go....I like being at home at Xmas and so does my missus but its out of my hands unfortunately.....

Coming back through Heathrow two days ago I was really impressed with how smoothly everything went regards testing etc...

Errr ... I'm intrigued by your "living arrangements" - please explain! ;D

It’s like a time share only you share the wife instead.

Sorry nothing so exciting.
Her 'Toy Boy' is her son Tom, he's 26 but he's autistic with Asperger's Syndrome. Although we all live together at home, Clare and Tom usually have a holiday every year as a kind of 'bonding' thing. When they are together, Tom looks a bit like her 'Toy Boy' hence the name.
Sorry to dash your hopes. I do, however, have a full, black, latex, dildo suit in my closet we could discuss...

How is what you choose to do at Xmas out of your hands? If you really don’t wanna go, don’t go.

My mother has spent thousands of pounds to take our whole family and my missus away for Xmas....all flights and accommodation has been paid for...even the Xmas day meal....so I can hardly pull out now.....unless I test positive the day before we are due to fly....

That can easily be arranged 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Is it only 3 stars then?

In all honesty I expect your Mum wants to do something for you all because of the passing of your Dad, Daz.
In that light, I hope you have a nice time, the food is great and weather too. :)
-
Enough of Daz's Xmas hols , the OP is bang on another £15 today it is indeed mental out there
-
Suck it up and enjoy spending some time with your mum and brothers Daz. I’d personally love a week in the canary’s through the winter months.

Had my best ever tip on Tuesday! £220!!!
Customer owed me £150 and when I got there they came out and paid straight away! Gave me a wad of cash and said a little extra for Christmas and thank you for all the hard work this year!
Been working around builders all year but they still wanted the windows cleaned monthly!
Counted it when we got back to the office :o
