Skip Chick

Posted on: December 4th, 2010 by Louise

December’s Skip Chick is in the rather lovely form of Emma from the northwest of England. Her fella Joe nominated her – but being chosen as the face of December’s Skip Chick Page is not her first brush with fame. She has been doing extra work for Waterloo Road and Britannia High and auditioned for parts on Emmerdale and Corrie. According to boyfriend Joe, she has a fiery temper which keeps everyone in check but deep down she’s a little cutie who loves cuddles and Disney films….all together now:

Ahhhh!

As if that wasn’t cute enough, Joe tells us that they were childhood sweethearts who lived next door to each other before she had to move aged 6 … they met up nine years later, and the rest is history – they’ve been together ever since.

Double ahhhhh!

Now that’s put us in a lovely fuzzy mood, let’s speak to her ourselves. Hi Emma! Tell us a bit about yourself:

Hi there, I’m an 18yr old Capricorn with a birthday on New Years Eve, woo!

Nice. Hope you get some lovely presents this year! Joe told us you’re a singer. Tell us more…

Yeah, I’ve auditioned on X Factor and Britain’s Got Talent and won a local contest in Lytham St Annes called ‘Fylde’s Got Talent’! But because my birthday is on New Year’s Eve and being a singer means its big money on that date so I always have to work on my birthday!

Oh dear… well at least it’s something you love doing. What’s your favourite song to sing?

My favourite song to sing at the moment is Alexandra Burke’s new song ‘Start Without You’. It always gets the crowd going!

OK, you’re a skip chick, do you work in skip hire at all?

I sometimes help Joe out with his skips and keep him company in his wagon all day, though he needs to bribe me to do it with a McDonalds breakfast first!

Plans for Christmas this year?

I’m spending Christmas dinner at my parents this year and there’ll be 13 of us, hectic!

Yikes…good luck with that! I hope there’s enough food to go round! What do you like about the Skip Magazine?

I love reading about the crazy stories in the Skip mag, and I was shocked when I found out Joe entered me for Skip Chick!

Well we all think you’ve made a great Skip Chick. Have a brilliant Christmas – and happy birthday on the 31^st Dec!

October’s Skip Chick

Posted on: October 10th, 2010 by Louise

Hang on a minute…is it still summertime? October’s Skip Chick is reminding us of the brief yet fun summer we experienced. As the nights draw in earlier and we all dig our thermal long johns out, the lovely Becca from Wicks Waste Management knows well that if you’ve got it, flaunt it and leaving a few Skip Magazine blokes in the office a little hot under the collar. So without further ado, take it away, Becca…!
Tell us a bit about yourself…
I’ve been working at Wicks Waste Management for nearly six months now, and I really enjoy it. Mainly I take calls for skip orders and collections, and now and again I help in on the weighbridge. I have been reading through your mags, (ah, a woman with excellent taste)… so here goes I’m entering as skip chick of the month!
And I bet there are a lot of lads out there glad that you did! Tell us about your job – what’s the best bit?
The best part about the job is having a crack with all the customers on the phone, a bit of banter never does anyone harm

Easy Becca! What’s the funniest thing to happen in the yard?
The funniest thing that I’ve been told that has happened here is an incident which involved one of a garage workers, he accidently caught his privates in his zip… and unluckily didn’t have much choice but to sought help from the girls in our office, I wasn’t with the company when that happened and I’m glad I wasn’t I would have been a heap on the floor with laughter ! Poor bloke!
Ouch! We’ll just keep that unfortunate lad anonymous…what do you get up to in your spare time?
In my spare time I like to go shopping or going out and the occasional horse riding , on rainy days though you can’t beat staying in and watching films in bed with the over half!
Sorry lads – she’s taken! What’s the weirdest thing you’ve found in a skip?
Nothing to date “weird” has been found in a skip, but once we had a phone call from a lady who had lost her wedding ring in a pile of confidential paperwork, which coincidently at the time was being fed through the shredder. Despite every effort, unfortunately she never got it back …whoops.
Oh no! Poor woman! What do you like about the Skip Magazine?
I like reading all the little stories in the mag, and obviously checking out the skip hunk page ha ha!
Of course, the Skip Hunk is rather popular here as well…and have we got a tasty piece of skip hunk meat over the next page…!
