Feeling lonely!

It is now 12.20 on a Monday and my friends CAR BOOT have not rung me ! Have they gone bust? Are their phone systems down ? They can not all be pulling a sickie , can they?. it is so thoughtless of them , they call me every day, sometime twice , for three weeks ,THEN NOTHING! Is there someone I can complain to ? It is really not good enough , I have had no one to talk to today ! I,m just hoping a JERHOVUS WITNESS will call around , or maybe a telemarketing lady offering a once in a life time membership offer to a timeshare with a FREE VIEWING TRIP , will ring . I know, I,ll ring BRITISH TELECON , and ask for a breakdown of their charges , I so like the Calcutta ascent. If I am really lucky it will be a Liverpool call centre ! Oh s-d it it will have to be one of those lovely real housewifes on the adult chat lines . Its only 35 p a minute now , I wonder if I can reverse the charges ?????????

    You could ring your local double glazing firm and ask if they have got a representative in your area today and if so, could they pop round? If you don't need double glazing, you could ask if they do soffits and guttering and if they do, do they also have a representative in your area today?

    I have a double glazing company who seem to have a representative in my area every day!
