approx £500 each xmas , and i give it all to the boys to share between them , im also given loads of wine and boxes of chocs ! ( again they share them ) i dont accept tips throughout the year ! this year i have been increasing the use of s.a.e. so i expect it will reduce tips. i can never make my mind up on sending customers xmas cards as it feels like im asking for tips , which im not . so currently i only give cards to those that have sent to me !
