PS Can anyone advise me. I have to do a mortgage phone call today. Among the details I have to give are what I pay on my current mortgage. Since mine is paid off I haven't got a scoobie. What interest rate shall I say. If I say it is for £25,000 what would the repayments be? Oh and I have to record the call and play it back. Shucks.

What I did was get a quick mortgage quote online and see the various rates offered. Only takes a couple of mins too

As many of you know I now work part time in Asda. I thought you would like to know the impact MS'ing has on employees. Asda have a daily huddle info sheet with up to date news etc. When I went on this morning there was everone all studying the new one for the weekend. Top of the list was:--

Mystery shopper visited Saturday. Score was only 69%. Then it said we must do better than this. Pity it wasn't me they got:rotfl: I smile and joke with all my queuing customers. In fact when I got my last review the manager asked was I telling them all jokes. She said every time she passed my queue everyone was all laughing. Maybe it was the day I told them all the cashback was free on Asda.!!!:rotfl:Or maybe when I told a man did he want flashback by mistake.

Wife: I was looking for the expiry date.:rotfl:

Thanks Roxy I will do that. This assignment is interesting...you dial a BT number get a PIN then dial the number and the call is recorded. You then go into the website put in the PIN and the call is played back. I thought legally you couldn't record people without their permission. I feel as if I am in MI5 now.

You're welcome I did one of those phone calls and found it a right pain in the behind. Be interesting to see how yours turns out. And the funny thing was the MS co had problems with their software and couldn't listen to the call anyway.......typical!

My first was 10 days late so I'm hoping this one will not be like her sister. If anyone can recommend anything else for me to do to keep me busy indoors (and no - THAT's not even an option lol) please feel free to let me know. I'm doing surveys for a few companies so may see if there are any more companies I can join.

My first was bang on 10 days late (natural labour happened during the night before I was supposed to be induced), second exactly ten days late too (during the day before I was due to be induced) - I think the fear of induction did it! I tried everything too to encourage the them out - but they were determined!

But despite lateness both were quick and natural (no drugs) - five hours for the first and 1hr 30 for the second - midwife said I just cook babies for longer and that if I have a third they wouldn't bother booking me in for an induction until I was well over two weeks late!:eek:

Hmm, just got a call from RM to do a clothing shop. I seem to go for ages with them with no calls, and then suddenly get a few within a short space of time. Anyone else find this with RM?

Don't like the look of the 'up to five pounds'. Not too sure I'll bother... (plus my brain hurts now from trying to think up psyedonyms for all those places.)

Have you recently shopped that shop before? Or maybe someone else got there a bit quicker??
