I had to laugh today. Old couple (lovely people) His Mrs came out to me and said "don't go mad but have a beer on us" and gave me £1, I thought to myself I definitely won't be doing that  ;D. I believe she genuinely thought that would be enough

Had a £20 tip today on a £110 job, which was very welcome. About £250 in total, the vast majority from the cash payers.

Done until 3rd Jan now. Self employed works Xmas doo tonight.  :D

£184 for me, but I only have 90 customers.  just Monday left to work this year.

I only have 1 serial late payer, a church I have been cleaning for 18 months, drop a card into the treasurers house the day of the clean and have to chase payment every single time.

I have had £150. It has declined with the increase in cost if living. But a tip is a tip we’re not waiters/waitresses we earn a decent wage.

How many of you tip others? Postman, bin man ....  😬.

I tip postman bin cleaning guy etc I give chocolate or drink to to others like the coal man and the garage lads if we get takeaway the delivery driver gets a decent tip.  I personally don't keep any tips that we receive when we are out cleaning they go to the employee ( my daughter) I get the odd tip in Christmas cards from some customers that still post cards and occasional online tips. It's not like years ago but I dont have to go out collecting anymore so don't see many customers face to face . That's the way I prefer it ;D

We have a oil fired boiler for heating & hot water dazmond, but we also have a stove in the living room that burns coal & wood,   
we get coal delivered in the winter months, lovely and cosy especially this time of year.   :)
