I've earned about 400 since December 10.I got browned off with Christmas a few years ago.It's over hyped and means very little extra money on the day shift.When you're looking at Chritmas jumpers from the end of November it's hard to be enthusiastic.I don't know how yous still get excited about it. Probably just dementia yis have..

This year I'm going to do the same and have everything earned by December if possible then fuk off on holidays to avoid the traffic.

Oh happy new year..

I'm a bit (well deserved) pissed at the mo, but I had a Financial Target set fer myself over the 13 busy Chrimbo nights, of which I worked 12 of them taking only Chrimbo Eve off, and I achieved that same Target at 7.30am this morning.

Have a guess Octy of what that Target of mine was ?

I had the most ghastly month from a financial perspective. I worked 33.5 hours taking in €1281 with takings per hour significantly below the year's average despite the fare increase.... and I spent most of the month handing out money like it was going out of fashion which, to be fair, is the norm for December as far as personal / socialising expenditure excesses are concerned but I was also faced with €550 for a new meter, €90 to schedule sealing, €75 for a brand new tyre (bubbled on inside wall), €127 for a brand new battery,  €55 for NCTS, €15 for a first aid kit, €150 for LRA - on successful completion of which the inspector advised I'd have to take another trip up to Dublin for the stickers as they were out of stock and said he'd ring when they came in, no word as yet.... pff, the list is endless...

Folk pay taxi firms like Free Now extortionate surge fees and see taximen driving €40k cars  so they think we're making a fortune. They don't realise you'd need to work like a first generation immigrant to show any kind of profit.
