I only collected the ones who were in when I cleaned today. I am not a fan of xmas  ;), but I respect the fact that people are busy and may not wish to be disturbed.

Done my collecting earlier,  just sat back in the sofa and logged into my  online business bank account on my tablet.
Honestly this job really bogs me down at times  :)

If you do the work Christmas  Eve and they are in knock for money,  over the years off collecting Christmas  Eve I always found it was the best time to collect  to get your tips  :)
