What happened to your M3 Mick?
I bought a buy to let property so had to sell my M3 to cover the rest of the deposit, was a hard painful thing to have to do!!!! Miss it so much, mrs didnt let me buy another as i scared her too much and she didnt enjoy driving it as all the boy racers were trying to race her so we mutual aggreed on an S3 which to be fair is just as much fun to drive, funny though as she still hates that everyone wants to race her so should have got another M car

I feel your pain :'(,  we must share the same taste in cars, I had an S3 for a couple of years which I chopped in for an M3, the S3 was great but the M3 and the sound from it is on another level, unfortunately I sold my M3 end of September to buy a Static Caravan, I love my caravan....... but I am badly missing my M3 :'(
Mind you, as this thread is about xmas tips, maybe I will get lots of tips this year and put them towards an M4 ;D

Got first Xmas tip 3rd week in November 😀

£70 total at the moment biggest tip £20

I know you shouldn't expect Xmas tips but still get narked by some who I feel I go out of my way for and get a big fat nothing, like I did today, except for "that was quick" comments, even though I've worked at your huge house for 6 hours today😒

Post by: dazmond on December 06, 2016, 06:06:48 am
if your annoyed that your not getting a tip off a customer at xmas that indicates to me that your probably not charging enough for that particular job. :)

remember them when you put your prices up next april. ;)
