I've already had £35 altogether, and it's only November...

Maybe it's because I don't rip people off, have time for people, and do it properly with a squeegee. ;) ;D

It's so hard to believe that so many can be so daft as to publically invite the tax people to pay them a visit.
Do you not think they fish around sites like these?
Just recently they have been comments about changing details on customers cheques without the customer knowing or counter signing the change.  :o
Window cleaners who only accept cash  :o
Comments about having a £12k turnover yet have smart vehicles and manage to pay the mortage etc  >:(

I gave a customer a tip today.

Told her "FIND YOURSELF ANOTHER WINDOW CLEANER"

Told me how her husband is getting a big bonus this Xmas - then said can i pay you what i owe you after New Year.

She's done it too many times and just got fed up of her.

On a good note though, a little old lady i went to around lunch time had bought me a small xmas cake. I told her to put the kettle on and we shared it. ;D

Just had an e-mail from a Housing Association i do work for and they are giving me a price increase next year.

Always had to ask for price increases not just get given them. ;D

Now that to me is good tip as it's ongoing through the year ;D ;D ;)
