Last month I got tipped £12 off different customers.

Also had 2 bottles of wine 2 jars of home made mince meat for mince pies and a jar of home made cranberry jelly, and two of my customers gave me 3 jars of there honney from there beehives.

I have never had  such a selection before, also a load of apples.

Its nice when people do that.

I also had 'the last of the Summer wine', and had a carrier bag full of pears; six tomato plants (which are dying in my back garden; what do you do with them?), tomatoes, small tomatoes and a clutch of eggs from a chicken keeper.

It's hard to say, 'No, I don't want them', isn't it!

My books are allways up to date income and expense done every night, but you are right tips are taxable.

Did a clean for an old boy the other week,  Charge him so little I almost pay him but I know he aint got much so I wouldnt mind if I did it for free.
Anyway, just saying bye to him and he went in to his house and came out with a bottle of his 'special Marrow whisky'  his words not mine.
Well I dont think it is whisky strength but  it got me wobbling quite nicley.  Fairly certain it could stip paint too.  Apart from that all I've been getting recently is bags and bags of apples.
Time to try to make some home made scrumpy.
Veni, vidi, vino, splatus.
