Only prob is that its supposedly gonna be -2C tomorrow! :-\
-
2 bottle's of red wine ;D
£42 in tips so far and 3 days left ;D
-
We must've had about 60 quid in tips, I don't really count them.
On top of that we've had three lots of chocolate and two bottles of wine; one quite a nice bottle.
But we're really slacking at the moment. I doubt there's been 25 hours of work a week that's been done since October!
-
I'm on £106 so far. But this week is all estates where everyone is out. so shouldn't get much more. I hit 200 lats year. Depends how nice you are..
-
GOT £93 TODAY! only did £190 work! couldnt belive as they had a price increase in jan & just converted them to wfp 3months ago!
-
I've only had about £30 - £35 so far. I'm not complaining. I don't do it for the tips anyway. I've also had a bottle of wine and two boxes of choc licquers. I gave them away as I don't like the taste of it anyway.
-
£5 today.
-

-
only £30 and a bottle of rubbish red wine, nobody loves me :'(
-
you see guys there is lots to talk and write about not just problems problems and allways same QESTIONS find something new tomorrow but no cricket or sex please.
-
A world without cricket or sex would be a sad, sad place..... :P
I've had about £40 in tips so far, no wine as yet! :(
-
£150 in cash, £10 Argos Gift Voucher, 2 bottles of red wine, oh a bottle of Moet & Chandon.
The only way to get decent tips is to go collecting on a regular basis & build up a friendship with your customers. I often take my 2 girls collecting with me, my customers love them & ask where they are if they don't come with me.
Wonder how much you guys get who operate a SAE scheme, not many I bet.
-
Got 10 euro tip for a 10 euro job today...chuffed to bits..
1st and only tip so far....just happy that they appreciated the work I do for them... ;)
-
Me and my son got our first (and probably only) tip today
£40 and 2 bottles of wine each from one commercial customer ;)
-
We did well today, one lady (I charge her 8.50) gave us a 20 quid note and told us to keep the change. Two further tips of five quid and two bottles of wine from two other customers.
So that's about 60 to 70 quid, four bottles of wine, three lots of chocolates and a partridge in a pear tree.
-
Got given £18 for a £8 job and £20 for a £15 job so thats about £25 total so far...or any tax people reading.....zilch ::)
-
nearly £70 in tips today, most of it from customers who don't make an effort to speak to me the rest of the year. BTW I don't keep my tips - I spend 'em'!!
Na just kidn, I give all my tips to NCDL
-

Don't forget....you have to declare ALL your tips, including "in kind" -wine, mince pies, etc - estimate the value and add it on to your self assessment form ::)
Cheers,
Ian

Regards my £40 tip
I forgot to pay my Congestion Charge last week (£8)
So I know where that £40 is going :'(
-
Ive got about £180 ish, its less than last year, but two of my best tipping areas where done in early december, so that is probably the difference.
-
I did a millionaires place first thing this morning (electric gates, stables, underfloor heating, indoor swimming pool, etc, etc, etc) and he tipped me with a cheap bottle of red plonk.
Tightwad!
-
More tips today, £30ish, box of quality street, about 10 cups of Tea and some shortcake.
Must have nearly £200 of tips for the NCDL
National Canine Defence League
-

JM,
I know you live in Northern Ireland but the National CDL sounds like one of those terrorist organisations like the Irish National Liberation Army.
I hope your donation is all above board!
-

I reckon I've had about £50 altogether. No problem with that. In some respects I would rather not have any as it can sometimes make it a little harder to keep things focussed on a business footing.
-
I had two bottles of wine again today.
One from a pub and one from an off-license!
Still only about £140 altogether though.
Like someone said, I think most likely tipping areas were done too early in the month.
Mind you, I did a few today in a good area I wouldn't normally have got to yet.
The others can wait. ;D
-
£30 today....I'm starting to feel a bit more Christmasy ;D
-
Well - finished 'til next Thursday and got another £10 today taking me to £100 exactly plus a bottle of wine.
-
Hi guys
We have just finished and total tips for us worked out at £ 72 each,
slightly down on last year , but ever little helps
-
FOUR QUID TODAY! Tightwads! As Ian Lacaster has pointed out, I cleaned long-standing customers today and the only tip was from a new account.
So I think our total is about 80 quid, five bottles of wine and three or four lots of confectionary.

Everybody must hate me .,got jack poop in tips up to now
-
i went out and collected nearly 400 quid tonight, how many tips did i get....not a single one!
its very rare that i go out collecting as i use sae but i noticed a serious lapse in people sending them in in december so had to go out and kick some arse 8)
-
Hi Tosh, I donate my tips to te National Canine Defence League. We got our last dog from there when he was around 5years old (golden cocker spaniel used in dog fights), we had him for 16years and I collect for the ncdl every summer, posting envelopes in peoples doors and collecting them again (once they've put some change in them). Its surprising just how many people don't give anything and just return an empty envelope, makes me mad.

I don't know if everyone hates you but you've got to admit it, you need some new threads, those 70's flares have had it. ;D

My tip this year are slightly down from last years.
I put it down to SAE as last year i used to call back for money but not any more.
And they mostly just send the cheque for the correct amount.
