Lol! I used to work with a guy a few years back and he used to clean the windows on a big country house. One Christmas the guy came out and give my boss a tin of Salmon for Christmas. My boss said " Tight old git, he only gave me that because he owns the bloody company. The good its done me I may aswell put it through his window ......and its out of date!"

I wet myself laughing for about ten minutes.

I get a lot less tips since I ditched the collecting a few years ago.  I got a tenner the other day but that's been my lot so far.

Not sad at all IMO.
I enjoy my work as well - most of the time anyway.

I'm up to £37 now, but it's still only the first week of december.
The last 8-10 days are the best.
