Tis the season to be jolly.....and to get tips!! Got my first tip yesterday,£10,what a bonus. It makes you feel that after all the work you put in and all the crap weather you work in, its worth it and it makes you feel apprieciated. Next customer please.

[DaveG]

Got a bottle of wine yesterday..which was nice!

[Ta-ra]

Do you have to declare it?  I mean, the wine's easy - just drink it in the van on the way home and noone will ever know (unless you kill them, obviously).

[cockney rebel]

Declare wot!!!!!!

[dazmond]

the best thing to do is expect nothing then if u get a tip then great!i usually end up with about £500 and chocs,wine and beer!£56 for me this week.bring em on!!

[Murdie window cleaning]

All very nice, maybe next year 

[Pole 2 Pole]

bout £60 this week so far and a bottle of red. 3 offers of a snog under mistletoe and three mobile numbers left with saucy words in the cards. Enough about the hubbys.Hopefully i'll get some extras from the wives soon 

[Ta-ra]

I usually get no more than £10 of goods, and that's it!   I wouldn't encourage it either.

A local cafe has a 'Staff Xmas Box' on the counter which I think is a bloody cheek.  Just think if we went around with a cardboard box wrapping xmas paper 'for the staff'.

[Pole 2 Pole]

But we don't beg......well not me anyways. If someone wants to bung me a couple o quid for what i think is a bloody good all year round service....then who am i to say nooooooooooo

I've already had £85 and 4 bottles of wine, and it's only Dec 2nd. Should get £250-300 by christmas.

You lot don't look after your customers.

[Ross G]

1 ten quid tip so far and the offer of some home made tablet  it's the thought that counts,
Is tablet bad for dogs ?

[Blue Frog Systems]

£14 cash
1 bottle of red
1 pot of flowers (now dead)

[SherwoodCleaningSe]

Nearly 50 squidlies today, the earliest tipper for me this year was last Tuesday, £20 for an office.  Total so far £82 and a box of chocolates, and yes you do have to declare it.

Simon.

[Slash]

I got about £15.00 so far and bottles of wine,I don't drink the stuff so my missus is well pleased!

[Pole 2 Pole]

Oh i got a jar of homemade marmelade too. Orange with brown sugar. One of Delia's recipe's by all accounts. They spoil me  

[Sir Squeaky]

...and yes you do have to declare it.

Simon.

Oh don't be silly! It's a gift, not payment for work!

You'd have be an absolute tool to pay it in as a taxable income. :

[Pole 2 Pole]

Sorry, BUT....declare it my arse. Whether ya have to or not. They can stick it where the sun don't shine.

[Pole 2 Pole]

Singin from the same hymn sheet squeaks I'm just waiting for some "tool" to tell us what naughty boys we are and that we could get fined..or worse, imprisonment 

[SherwoodCleaningSe]

Got a mate who was investigated by the taxman, they made him pay 17% of monthly turnover extra as undeclared christmas tips.  Annoying thing is he had declared them any way.  Declare them or not it's up to you, I doubt you'll go to prison, they'll just guestimate what you would have got tips wise in their favour and tax you on that.
