    I'm doing well, nearly finished this weeks worth of OU got hrs left.

    DD started crafting her bag, stuck on the bits of the cat face and got fed up- so its left to me to finish.

    Bless her shes been as gd as gold went upstairs to watch tv with dad thought it was a bit odd her wanting to watch golf.... only coz he's get liquorise allsorts, she eats the outside bits and put the liquiorse back.

    Then she decided to play in her rm, usually Mamma Mia on full and danceing around - she'd got the cd on, but tried to paint her nails...... took 1/2 bottle nail polish remover to clean up, she'd got 4 layers of nail polish - all different colours, up her legs, her arm, her face,........

    SO promised her I will do her nails 2mor, her favourite saying now is how long is to we get Bailey.... get picks up 2nd Aug, and were coming back from \blackpool on 8th..... worse than when I was pregnant with dd, everyones 1st question when r u due?

    Better day today, have to confess lie ins dd got up at 10am, I got 9.45am, so not bad, the weather been rain on and off, buts shes happy and a no spend day.

    Surviving the school hols, ok were only on the first week, went out last ngt with 2 friends, just to a Wetherspoons, very mse evening - my poor steak was red raw, and Id asked for it well done, they came back, apologised and said rather than wait so long, chef recooked ur piece- no probs, - how I don't know but he'd only cooked half the steak, me being me started chopping off some steak, so use to doing it for Whisky, called this poor man back, he went gasthly... but gave a refund for all 3 main meals....... my kinda ngt.

    Have this "mad moments" about every 3 months my bedroom gets blitzed, I just hoard things, got ebay bag, 2 bags for the chairity shop and 2 rubbish bags. Still got few odds and sods to finish....

    Weird as guess like most people you have ur posher clothes/ holiday clothes + in my case wear round the house clothes...... thought Id lost some clothes, but figured I must of ebayed them and not realised....... found them in the wardrobe...... still in the bag that I brought them back from holiday in June.... Not that I'm lazy...... just seems to be all OU work, as from 6th June to today, I've pulled myself from being 5 weeks behind to the right week, so done well.

    Off up to the coast 2mor for the day, dads bday, fresh air and away from the house will do us gd.

    Great way to make some lovely xmas money - complain!!

    We had a wonderful incident in our local Mr Ts over using money off vouchers (despite checking the store policy), and this young lad started argueing with me, called me a lair.... and accussed me of being no better than a shop-lifter...... Asked for his manager, so he disappeared to 2 other members of staff and they stood there discussing it......... I walked upto them and said when u have finished discussing my shopping, I am stuck at the checkout ....... and guess what I was right...... yet this lad still called me a lair....... me being me...... walked upto this lad and said "by the way as you stopped me using the vouchers would u like to take them to customer service desk and have them swopped for cash as the mistake was urs"....... he wouldnt bring the money back he sent someone else.

    Complained to the manager, who apologised and put £10.00 worth of points on my clubcard

    Glad that you had a lovely day at Rhyll.
    Well done on complaining in Tesco and getting a result.We as a nation are too soft that's why custmer service is so bad as not enough people complain.So good for you.
