    MFD, hope he gets worms! Nasty little git ha!

    And phones4u man with smelly (super smelly, smelliest ever) breath can also get worms. Do I look poor or something? I went in to look at phones (obviously) and got jumped on as soon as I walked in.

    Smellybreff - What ya lookin for?
    Poor looking me - A pay as you go phone that I can use to surf the net with wifi.
    Smellybreff - the're expensive. *deadpan look showing rotten teeth* Like, really expensive.
    Poor looking me - no !!!!!! sherlock... *trying not to breath through nose, cue the hair flick 360' turn with pram and proper flounce out*

    Then my Dad tells me he buys his lunch from our shop so he will casually mention his daughter who's rather rich (haha) husband sent her in to pick a nice shiny new phone and all she got was 'tude.

    Fairies also report that they have FINALLY made it to the post office :D

    In true MFD style I have sent him a snotty email back (cc the HR manager - like he did :rolleyes:) saying that I am taken aback by his tone and that I would have thought that discussing it twice and emailing him twice would be enough.

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I'm not sure how you get to be a manager in our place? Either show a major lack of common sense and organisational skills, or sleep with the right people! :eek:

    I emailed him to remind him i've still not heard from him, and its reassuring to see that organisational standards haven't changed while i've been away! :rotfl:

    Carla on the Xmas decorations front, why not make salt dough decorations one day, another day to paint them, another day to glitter/pva/thread them then you've got some for your tree and fabulous home made gifts for grannies/aunties etc.

    I think they just want to get back to how things were. Everyone's jaw hit the floor when I announced I was pregnant - they didn't see it coming despite OH and I having been together two years and having the house and everything :confused: so it really threw them. They didn't think the one who would just sort out their mess and do all the little jobs would disappear like I did ;)

    in their sort out, fairies have found a pair of 3-6m blue fleecey dungarees with matching vest, never worn :o not cos it isnt nice but cos it was stashed with the wrong size clothes :doh: and 2x 0-3 turquoise and grey t shirts (one striped and one with "i'm a little monster" on it)

    that takes me back a few years!! its part of their sales process to look startled and shocked at the prices of PAYG phones, to try and sell you onto pay monthly instead ;)
    but he should have said "hi, how arr yoo?" not "what ya lookin for?" :naughty: no member of my staff would have got away with that!!
    i dont know why they always wrote "hi, how arr yoo?" in their scripts? maybe its cos the monkeys that write them are stupid and cant spell? :rotfl:
