Very funny, it's much more quiet here now the medication has kicked in. I'm keeping busy trying to get the popcorn/ red wine mixture out of the folds in the padding on the walls..... why did they have to put 1,326 buttons on the walls, at least the unicorn is helping :cool:

You've clearly had to fill in one too many RE reports

I know I was one step away from calling the priory when I had to answer 420,000 questions on a 20 second visit to a pub, in no less than 1,000 characters which is about 1,500 words.

Strangely enough RE is very quiet for me just now, I think its my OCD that bothers them, I keep running out of space and after 10,000 words, which is exactly 8,796 characters the system keeps crashing.... and I still have another 5,276 words, thats 3,254 characters to go......:A

Monkey, sorry you're having a bad week, share your top tips to getting the salesmen to drop their prices with me and maybe Karma will treat you well next week.

I even took extra time making myself look pretty today and they were still mean!

Well, a bit of "t1ts and teeth" never hurt anyone...

I found it best just to be short with them, when they gave me a price, just look unimpressed and say "not good enough - if you want my money you'll have to do better than that" Say it with a smile and they'll not think you're an arrogant tw*t!

Erm...

One story I used was that I didn't have a car to trade in, as I'd had a company car that I'd had to give up, but they'd compensated me financially for the loss, and I was using that toward buying myself a car. That way you can get out of test driving it, as you could say you had one as a company car or something, plus it's making it clear that you've got the cash ready and waiting.

Tell them that you're "fed up of looking around and just want to do a deal and get it sorted" appear fed up, tired and bored.

Good luck, and remember not to give them your real phone number, just get the last digit wrong something (*hope the last 5 digits of her numer aren't the same as mine....*)!

I'm doing 2 x RE wine shops tomorrow, nothing like as much to do as previous visits when you had to check posters, bottles of wine, spirits, cigarettes etc .. basically just go and buy any bottle of wine! Cheers, RE!!!

Right, I'm off to bed. It's taken me over an hour to express my pizza visit (god that sound physically painful! lol) as I kept flicking back to talk to you lot.

The two people who have my spreadsheet, I'd really really like your feedback ASAP, tomorrow ideally...

At last I can say something that's been bugging me for ages without appearing odd....it's linked to the constipation....

I know why that lady in the Dulcoease advert has those tablets in her bag...she eats too many golden arches for Gyp....take a gander at the Job search page it's definitely her on the right!
