ellie9ellie

Morning peeps. Firstly does anyone have a magic formula to make a 7month old teething baby sleep - either that or a magic formula to make me sleep - and no I'm not having another operation just to get a few hours kip lol. Today will be my first day out MSing after op but I can't take my sticks as I need to push the pram!! I've got a glasses shop, ABAi mobile phone shop and a ABAi retail place - luckily all in the same area. Tomorrow I've got a small GAP shop, two ABAi large retail place and an underground sandwich place and Sunday I've got 2 GAP petrol shops and another GAP small shop. Monday I'm busy as well with another two ABAi large retail shops, a meal in an ABAi retail shop, two bookies and a supermarket. Luckily Mum is coming with me on Saturday and Monday - neverless computer will be steaming!!! Hope everyone else has a good weekend. Who needs sleep!!!! xx

That the story your sticking too Nads. We believe you.:rotfl:

I just got 3 bank jobs on GfK this morning. I always laugh at the bit saying no derogatory comments. As if we are going to put on staff description.

"She was that ugly it is a wonder they let her be front of office"

"He/she had a nose that looked like an elephants trunk"

"She was so cross eyed I was unsure if she was talking to me or the customer next to me"
"She had such large boobs she reminded me of that comedy set in France during the war.....The madonna with thee large boobies....say that in pseudo French/

I don't think it is very kind of you HP to have my picture infront of you when you are typing these descriptions, and they are not big boobies by the way, I just ran out of space for my tissues up my sleeve..... now where is that hay fever remedy, I wonder if it will work for flu.....?

I have had such a crap day with MS work.

Firstly RE put a successfully submitted job back into my account with 40% of the answers cleared with no explanation as to why - as it was in the Western Isles they can go skip if they expect me to pop back over!

And then I did a bank with GR - The MS went okay but then afterwards i enquired about a Bank charge they applied and it decended into farce with the branch manager. But by the end i told them that they had in fact been mystery shopped by me which yes was a massive mistkae but was so bloody angry at their shoddy service. So phoned GR to advise and they said fill it out based on the good bit anyway and they would keep note in case any complaints came their way. AAARRRRGGGGHHHH I need wine!

Changing banks tomorrow!

Madain mhath Mike. Ha mi'n Tearaschdach. I am from Tiree. I wish someone would give me a job on one of the islands. Can you PM me who gives out island jobs. One of the English companies once offered me a job opening a bank a/c in Stornoaway. Now it was have cost me £200 to fly there. And coming from a Hebridean island everyone spots a stranger and they all ask who you are, And don't you think the bank would wonder why someone would travel up from Glasgow to open a bank account. I phoned them and they said could I not drive up!!!!! It is 7 hours drive to Ullapool then 4 hours on the ferry. I would have needed to stay overnight. They said they would increase the fee to £25. When I had finished rolling about the floor laughing I declined their kind offer.

Any other Gadhlig speakers on here.

Can you take the baby out in the car? That used to work wonders for my son when he was little - I think it's the engine sounds, but he used to drop off to sleep quite easily in the car, I remember taking him round the block on a few occasions purely to get him to settle.

Stupid suggestion really, I guess you are not allowed to drive yet?

I'm piling her into the car seat as we "speak". Started driving yesterday. Driving doesn't seem to be too hard - it's the walking that's the problem!! Luckily my jobs aren't far and there very close to one another - and there's a nice little cake shop I may pop into for a break lol

Good luck! It's rotten when they are teething, isn't it. Poor thing.

7 months old already Ellie, time flies. There is a survey on the RE website about the new notes for a certain pub chain. Think everyone will get it, as I did not even do the job and its asking me.

Yes you can but you go through a long queue.

I might as well come clean here and say that I am the London and South East supervisor for Service Scan.

I don't allocate for them at the moment as there isn't much work so the office do all that direct, but I recruit new shoppers as we always need "fresh blood".

Are all your clients in Southern England. Do they ever have work in Scotland. We even have shops in Glasgow!!!:rotfl:

On my wages you must be joking! In my "normal" life I come into contact with members of the public every day and I must admit I am watching out for people with toy donkeys in the back windows of their cars. They don't seem to stay long these days I think its my squint, elephant nose etc etc that puts them off
