£392 and few bottles of wine and chocolates. Mind you, my van is a p.o.s!

It does help if your a pauper, I usually have the ends of my shoes cut off so my toes are hanging out- this year I added a hole to my work trousers in the knee , my tips went up from around £300 to this year a massive £450!

Tips not quite as good as previous year cash wise...far more bottles of plonk though...shame I rarely
drink

If I went collecting I'd get more tips
I never do , so I didn't get much
Mind you collecting is nearly as boring and time consuming as canvassing so I think I'll stick to doing things I enjoy and not worry that I missed out on a couple of hundred quid over a years worth of effort
Time is money, it's also something you never get back

[tonyoliver]

Just under fifty for me some even ask for the 50 p change as I didn't have enough coins last month same service as you  lot
same smile just mean cuties who think you are cheating them out of their last penny

[Walter Mitty]

My tips took a nosedive some years ago when I stopped collecting in person.  I'm fine with that as the saving on fuel more than makes up for it.  Also, I have gradually became more businesslike over the years, so I guess that many people respond to that by regarding me as not tippable.   I do price higher than I used to anyway so no problem.

I had about £75 tips from people who paid extra whilst doing their online payment, annoying as that means the tax man will be taking a cut of my tips :-(

[Johnny B]

I don't count my tips. I just write in my book what I was paid (including any extra) and add it up with all my takings. I did get a few bottles of wine and boxes of chocs though.

I'm so cheap that some customers take pity on me and tip me all year round. It helps that I drive a van which dates from the last millennium and I look as if I have been dragged through a hedge backwards!

I feel like Dazmond from previous years but this is actually how much I got!
£690 cash
£30 in my bank
4 bottles of wine
3 bottles of cider
And 2 boxes of chocolates.
I got about £400 last year and have picked up just short of 100new customers, I am you and attractive which might of helped 

[AuRavelling79]

Every year I used to get about £100 and maybe a bottle of wine or two.

This year I had two weeks in the warm sunshine early in December (sound like Dazmond!) and so only worked (like billy whizz) for 8 days between 14th and 23rd December and I'm off this week too. So I go into January well behind on work.

Anyway my tips were about £50 this year (and a bottle of wine).

Why is it any busier than any other month? If you supply a regular service it should be like any other month. It would only be busier if you do one off cleans wouldn't it?

£3,122 overdue on work as we speak. And I didn't go on holiday 

[gary999]

Still receiving tips...all goes towards me taking January off

[AuRavelling79]

Can never understand  why other window  cleaner s take holidays in the busiest  month of the year 

If that is addressed at me it's because I have things planned so that it doesn't matter if December and January are poor months. So they are as busy as I want them to be. If I pull in a couple of grand on each of them then that is fine as I will have made up a surplus in the six months prior.

And then I can go on holiday if I want and take off Xmas to New Year if I want or I can work if I want. Usually I work. This year I didn't (much).

you must have a lot off understanding customers because biggest part off my customer base wants them doing before Christmas ,been cleaning for over 30 years now and every year my inlaws try to get me to go away in December, I decline every year wouldn't do that to my customers they keep me fed and watered so I like to keep them happy ,
