"Dontcha" just love this time of Year "To Tip or not to Tip", That is the Question ?
Why is it when Christmas is looming, all these people seem to think it is a God given right to receive a Tip from their employers ? We`ve had each one of them hanging around waiting, expectantly, well, this year they`re going to wait a long time . I know, each year we say this but, usually end up stuffing some notes into a Christmas Card and thrusting it into an expectant hand.
This just not going to happen this year. Do you hear, It is Just Not Going to Happen !
Success to Date.......
The Window Cleaner. (Peeping Tom)..Gave him a bucket of hot water and dashed off out....Wishing him Merry Christmas as we reversed off the Drive..... Result £10. saved.. Well at least he could warm his hands in the hot water, anyway he supports Liverpool FC.
The Milkman... Purveyor of Dairy Produce. Gave him and his assistant £5. each. (I`d had a couple of G+T`s when he called)....Oops...£10. spent Ok, so They`ve both got kids.
The Binmen.... Waste Disposal Officers... Gave them a tip..verbal.."Stop leaving the bloody empty bins behind my parked car, particularly when I`m in a rush to go out!... Result £10.saved
The Cleaner... Domestic Appliances Facillitator....Sorted ! Box of Chocolates and bottle of Wine, which I had in. so no cost, well they were only slightly out of date!....Result.
The Gardener... Green God.. Told him to Sod Off (Gedit ? Sod off..gardener) Ho Ho Darling Trubes gave him a bottle of Scotch.(one of his so no cost to moi!)...Result
The Hair Dresser... Style Director. £25. Gift vouchers, well she`s just had a baby and I am quite fond of her..
Therfore I spent £35. and saved £40. Normally spend £50. so therefore, overall saving of £15. Must improve on that next year. Any ideas ?
Merry Christmas to all my blogging chums and a very Happy and Peaceful New Year
