Strangest tip ever!
« on: June 29, 2013, 12:44:38 pm »
Hi I don't get many tips but I had a good week this week.
I got three pounds from one customer and one from another. But best of all from one I got a brand new still in packaging.........ladies handbag!

Customer used to run a company selling em but went bust but still has lots of samples left.

I think I may have to act more macho when im cleaning windows LOL.

Two kittens 2 years ago, which I accepted and are now fully grown cats.

I've been offered a tree (bloke owned a garden centre), some ratty old garden furniture that the owner thought was mint condition but was suitable only for the scrap heap.

And last but not least...
a date with this woman's daughter.

I got a brand new unused lawnmower last year , I was very pleased as mine had just broken down .
This is the season for fine wine, and drunken friends, enjoy this moment, for this moment is your life.

A former employee got given an old corsa off one of my custies, I went mad with him as I wanted half of any freebies(that were sold on or scrapped) off've my customers.

Cheeky s*it was moonlighting, tileing with my van at weekends would never do a sat for me...
