i like a good break over Christmas away from window cleaning (always have done) it puts me in a good frame of mind when i start back to crack on again . Before the kids started school would usually go to south africa for a month over the christmas holidays (not in a 5 star hotel mind  )

Collecting,      This is the best time for us Collectors, TIPS,   as much as i dont like to take ,    Arefusal always offends.     Face to Face,  Take time to get any change out ,    OH Keep it 4 xmas .
This pays for all yearly collecting.     A bond between cleaner and customer. ,   All my tips pay for my time off from Wed right through to end of Jan.       Or untill i get bored
I still got a couple of tips via Bacs,    but only a few

I was going to finish Thursday but the phone has just rang and Ive picked up a £5,000.00 gutter cleaning job to do Friday, which helps as I've now got a gutter-vac.

Thursday night.
Had big problems with my R.O.
About three weeks now and totally racked off! Need to get away from it.
Will probably go out before the new year.
Happy Christmas everyone.

Be finished by this friday and back tue 3rd for wk to allow most of the wk after to be off for prior arrangements.

Collecting this time of year is great. Have a pocket full of change; 20's n 50's.
A 2nd great tip which i stumbled accross. A couple of yrs back a customer gave a bottle of wine and i had no choice but to carry it whilst collecting.  When other customers saw it, they went back inside and brought extra money for a tip plus a botle of wine.     So now i take my own bottle of wine in a carry box with me whilst i collect, but this year i might swap it for a bottle of whiskey and see what happens 

[jonboywalton75]

You lot are like a load of beggars 

[Tosh]

I’d take a wine-box and drink it if I were you, heartily.  On the doorstep without shame.

Get bladdered and pi!$!$ on your custards door, wear a Santa beard and try to stick your tongue down your secret crushes throat when she comes to the door to pay.  Go on, its  Christmas.

[nathankaye]

Also.dont worry about ones who pay online or paypal or go cardless, just stick an extra £5 service charge on.

Be working upto sat morning doing regular commercial, off Christmas Day working Boxing Day doing an event clean for following day, not very happy bout it but hey ho .... Minimal work during festive period but another event booked in on the 30th & 31st

[Fieldsy]

Finishing Thursday, back on the 3rd. Still go out collecting for most of the custys, and that way get far more tips. Ones that pay in don't usually pay in that bit extra, but a little face to face and they can't help but say, " oh and here's a little something for christmas, have a drink on us ", and I just use those puppy dog eyes............( obviously only on the ladies)........and to the blokes its a  " cor blimey geeza, fanks very much, I tips me 'at to ya "
