« on: October 28, 2009, 04:15:20 pm »
hey guys,

are we gonna get any xmas tips this year with the so called credit crunch going on?

being a window cleaner, the tips go on the xmas works party = 24 cans, bottle of jd, big bag of nuts and a pack of mince pies!  :o

This will be my first xmas as well,be interesting to see who's generous.As already said,not expecting anything but any extra cash would certainly be welcome.I might dish out some xmas cards to give them a little nudge.
