Tonic, soda, coke, orange juice - those I know about, but you could try other mixers like ginger ale or lime or cranberry juice....let me know how you get on with your very merry Christmas :dance

Or tomato juice and a splash of sherry or worcester sauce for a Bloody Mary. :nana :Very Happy

I don't get any tips as I'm back in the Mail Centre. Got about £30 and a couple of bottles of wine last year when I was on van collections, from the smaller firms, never got anything from the big City of London financial, banking and law firms that give their staff huge bonuses.
