Skip Chick – The Hottest of 2009!

Our Skip Chick 2009 results have been counted and verified, and we are pleased to announce the winner of our £250 cash prize is Sam Day, March’s Skip Chick. We rang Sam Day who was getting ready for a Christmas Party – she sent us over this rather dishy photo of herself and we had a good old catch up. We’ve got to admit it, we think the best woman won it!

Sam! Congratulations, how does it feel, being voted Best Skip Chick 2009 voted by the Great British Public?

Wow! I can’t believe it. There’s been some hot Chicks in the mag throughout the year, I’m flattered that I got the most votes!

Yes, well, you got 41% of the overall votes, so you won by a bit of a landslide. What are you doing now?

I’m getting ready for a Christmas party – I’m going as Wonder Woman – she’s my heroine. I’m also drinking a glass of bubbly just to get in the party mood.

What are you spending the cash prize on?

Well, I think it’ll fill a whole in my post-Christmas bank account quite nicely. January won’t be as tight as first imagined. I have a big family, so Christmas is normally a price event. Not that I mind, of course. I love buying my family presents. I’m pretty good at choosing what they’ll like.

And what does 2010 have planned?

Well, I’d like to go on holiday somewhere hot in the next few months with my boyfriend; I’m getting a bit fed up with the cold weather! Apart from that, working hard and playing hard – that’s what I’m good at!

Anything you want to say to The Skip Mag readers for the new year?

Well, have a great year, keep hard at it, we’ll hopefully see ourselves out of this recession and enjoying the fruits of our labour. And once again, thanks for those who voted. Can’t wait to see the new generation of Skip Hunks and Skip Chicks for 2010!

Nice one Sam, spend your money wisely!!!

SKIP CHICK – January 2009

We’re an open-minded bunch here at The Skip, so we weren’t phased by the stubble or the Adam’s apple when we received this latest Skip Chick entry. However, we were rather concerned by the bride’s choice of gloves and undergarments for the big day. Not to mention the location! This is Stephanie (aka Stevie) from Buchanan Skip Hire, in Livingston.

Q. Hi Stephanie, please can you tell us a little bit about yourself and what you do? A. Hi there. I’m a JCB driver, working in the waste transfer station.

Q. So what do you enjoy most about working at Buchanans then? A. The people are the best part of my job – my workmates are great.

Q. Is this your normal attire then? It can’t be that easy to drive a JCB dressed up like Richard Branson? A. Well, I just saw the dress, and my partner and I hope to get married this year to Gemma.

Q. Wow, that sounds like a liberal arrangement! Presumably at least one of those two is the pants-wearer then! So what do you get up to outside of work then, Stephanie? A. I help look after my baby girl, Kasey, when I’m not working.

Q. Balancing motherhood with work is always a truly commendable achievement. So what do you and your colleagues think of The Skip mag? A. We all love The Skip magazine here at Buchanans.

Q. Woohoo! Finally, what’s the best thing you’ve ever seen in a skip? A. Most definitely my wedding dress! Well Stephanie, good luck to you and your partner in your triangular wedding to Gemma. Thanks very much for being our first Skip ‘Chick’ of 2009. Does anyone else get the feeling this could be a strange year…?

Skip Chick – December 2008

HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY! Here’s an early present…
Check out this Skip Chick! Well and truly ensconced in a skip, and complete with retro Skip Chick T-shirt – now that’s the kind of skip-based dedication we love to see! Meet Emily…
Q. Hi Emily, please can you tell us a little bit about yourself and what you do?
A. Hi, I’m Emily Rice and I work for Bucks Recycling Ltd. I’m 29 – getting on a bit for a skip chick! I enjoy socialising with friends, going out to dinner and relaxing (when I get the chance).
Q. Age is no issue for us; if you score well on our highly sophisticated ‘Skip Chick-ometer’ (or Ant, as we call him), you claim your rightful place among these pages! So what do you enjoy most about working at Bucks Recycling, Emily?
A. I love talking to the customers, keeping busy and indulging in a good bit of banter with the lads (I give as good as I get!)
Q. And what do you like to do when you’re not working?
A. I love to relax with a nice bottle of wine or maybe a bit of snowboarding, if I’m in the mood.
Q. (Nigel, our health & safety expert, has asked me to make it clear at this point, that Emily’s two pathways to relaxation should never be pursued in combination!) So Emily, what do you like about The Skip mag?
A. I love the witty comments, and the overloaded skip pics are AWESOME!!!
Q. Great! What’s the most memorable thing you’ve ever seen in a skip?
A. I found some projector slides of broken bones from a retired doctor, which was pretty weird, but the best thing I’ve seen was my new coffee table!
Q. So, Christmas is upon us again, what do you hope Santa will bring you?
A. A new car please! And some diamonds (every girl loves diamonds!)
Q. (Dear Santa, we think you should maybe get Emily a crash helmet and some kneepads instead.) Thanks for being our Skip Chick, Emily. Is there anything else you’d like to share with our readers before you go?
A. Bucks Recycling is also run by a lady, never underestimate women in the skip world. These boobs will go far!

One for the lads…

Our tip-top-chick-stop has been blessed by yet another beauty this month! Behold the lovely Trixie-Sue from UK Skip Sales for your ogling enjoyment (don’t you suddenly find yourself wishing you worked at UK Skip Sales?!) Let’s meet Trixie-Sue…
Q. Hi Trixie-sue, how do you do?
A. Very well thanks, how do you do?
Q. I’m great! (Wow, Skip Chicks never ask that. I could be in here…) You seem nice and cheery, can you tell us a little about yourself?
A. I’m 18 and have an active social life at uni – partying with the girlies, keeping fit and looking after my furry little friend FIFI! (That’s her dog)
Q. FIFI? Nice name. Speaking of names, yours isn’t one we hear everyday at The Skip?
A. Yeah, it’s pretty different. People don’t forget it! My dad used to be a country and western singer in the states so he insisted on the first part, and my mum’s called Sue so it’s sort of after her as well.
Q. Cool. How long have you been working at UK Skip Sales then? And what’s so great about it? It sounds a bit crazy in the background!
A. Yeah its great here. I’ve only been here a couple of months but I love it. I just work part time because of uni, but everyone is such a laugh – and a bit crazy like me!
Q. You certainly sound like a laugh! What’s your favourite part of The Skip?
A. The bottom! Ha-ha, only joking! I like ‘Skip Confidential’ at the back, and I really love trying to keep my mind ticking over with the crossword. I’ll win one of those cameras one day!!!!
Not just a pretty face then! Thanks for the interview, Trixie-Sue, and good look with the job and your uni studies. (I should ask her out. But what if I she says no? Right, I’ll just do it… oh, bummer – she’s gone).
