I got 2 tips in 3 jobs in one week, £20 each on one and £5 each on the other. The first one we spent all day talking to the elderly customer who couldn't prune the trees herself but wanted to see every cut we made! Planned to be done at 12, 4 hours later we were packing away! She was very pleased with the result. There wasn't that much pruning either.

Never seen a £15 note! I only do small jobs for little old ladies etc but have been given a wheelbarrow, Stihl strimmer and an unnamed petrol lawnmower amongst other things. Those who grow vegetables etc always give me a selection to try.

 

Neither have I but seen a £10+£5 ;)
