Hypno's "there's more to life than debt" diary.....

Seaxwyn

Evening all. I have to say, Woollies had it coming. It was the worst organised shop ever. The 'window display' in our high street always consisted of piles of boxes and sometimes when I went in the shop was such a mess I wondered if I'd accidentally wandered in on a stock-taking day.

Now I wonder who will be selling off all the old Woollies stock - there must be loads of half useful things to flog off before Christmas.

I'm not going to comment on Hypno's new £30k-in-a-year challenge as I am so jealous.

That was my question. End of an era. And what a horrible Christmas for 30000 people who work there. Hope they can salvage something for them.

and MFI - that's gone to the Administrators as well today

Woolies when I worked there (many years ago) was one of the best places on the high street - great staff training, etc etc. I know it has gone downhill over the last few years, and probably had it coming, but I really loved that job on the record counter!!!! (much better than working in home-wares!)

I'm surprised Whsmith haven't gone either, they only seem to sell the stuff you can get in any supermarket but at twice the price :rolleyes:

morning hypno
morning all
40% of the packing is done :T only problem now is theirs no where to move because of boxes and bags!! and trying to pack on top of packing.

wow woolies!!! I don't know you leave the country for 5 mins.
have to feel for the staff,.especially if their not mse wise and are up to their preferbials in debt..but have had two x mases like that 1st at age 11 and 2nd at age 32 and they are some of the best xmas memories i have because you don't live the hype and everything becomes about family.

3rd dose of antibiotics seems to be working feeling a lot better think the social welfare has de stressed me as well...

I can sympathise Hypno - Hot honey and lemon, lots of gargling and paracetamol!!!! (mind you I had 3 lots of antibiotics too !!!!)

Anyway done all the online banking checks, got some emails to answer and a list to make as well as sarnies.

Hope everyone feels better that is feeling poorly - for once I'm feeling good !!!

Have a good day
