Let´s keep it later?
Hi,
I don´t have idea of how in English you express the following idea: "Let´s keep your nice comments for later"
I mean that I would like my customer not to thank me before that the work is done.
Do you understand what I mean?
Thank you for checking
Pamela

Hi,
You could say:
Thank you very much for you compliments. However, don't count your chickens before they hatch, as the saying
goes. You'll just have to wait and see how things turn out.
*British English: Don't count your chickens before they're hatched.
Regards

Thank you so much for the replies.
To John: you are right, maybe it may sound weird to you to ask my customer not to thank me before the work is done but I don´t feel confortable with this.
To Regards: yes, I get what this saying mean :-) thanks! Only one question, if I used it, wouldn´t I give the impression that I am not sure about the good outcome of this work? I wish not to g

Hi,
On the contrary, I think your honesty will make him trust you implicitly. It shows, albeit indirectly, that you are
serious about your work, and that you are not attempting to make an empty boast. You are telling your customer
to be patient and thank you only when your work is completed. Assuming you are confident of the end result of
your work, I suppose you can
