Christmas Tips
Tis the season!
What's your best / worst?
Do you share with your partner, day off cover and or job share?
I've never had a Christmas tip, just another downside to being on a different round every day. If I did get one I'd probably have a word with the duty holder.

Re: Christmas Tips
A few years ago temporarily rented a house outside our DO area so didn't know the postie, offered him some wine and choccies that I'd already been tipped but he said no thanks, I'm on a diet
