    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:

    I top up £10 maybe every 3 months so unless they have a contract that is £5 per month, no chance! :D Did the manual say they shouldn't brush their teeth either?

    I hate hairdressers!! I refuse to go to Toni and Guy anymore because it is always some kid wearing too trendy clothing who doesn't think I am cool enough to talk to. When I went when Benjamin was about 6 or 7 weeks I said to the girl that I had just had a baby and I was treating myself and she just gave me a stupid wet half-smile :mad: Even if she wasn't ar5ed about my baby she could at least have asked his name :mad:
    They certainly don't teach 'em chit-chat at toni and guy :rolleyes:
    I hate Toni and Guy too - I've been in a few times and they've always been really rude. Although one time I went there (gift voucher) and left with my normal cut thinking I looked lovely. A woman outside and up the street stopped me and asked me if I wanted a free haircut as part of a T&G promotion. I laughed and told her that her colleague had just cut my hair; she looked like this :eek: took me inside, refunded my money and cut my hair again! And not one of the bastiges made any semblance of polite conversation, although they did give me chamomile tea.
    4although i went to bed early i just lay there for 2 hours trying to sleep ... another random dreams about being pregnant

    I wanted to tell you that I've only ever been weirdly hormonal the way you described yesterday once before... and it was the first few weeks of being pregnant with Molly.

    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.

    Just like Pretty Woman :rotfl:

    I'm back in parental leave, running on no sleep, doing everything for everyone in the house, the monster is screaming right now because I won't walk up and down with her till she falls asleep ... and I have to go off and put a prescription in for Husband and take Molly to babyfuntime andandand it never ends. Hugs for all.

    Especial hugs to people having work problems, which I suspect may include simply having to go there.

    eeeew no, it says they should be clean and well presented!!

    i once had to let someone go while they were on their probationary period cos they clearly didnt wash :o it was a GIRL as well! she had been told twice by the other manager that she needed to make more of an effort but just didnt bother. the smell got stuck in the air con unit, when she was in the shop you could smell it by the air con outlet on the roof!!!!

She really dosnt like being restrained in any harness and can get out of them all but today she managed to escape her 5 point harness and was pulling on the door handle ( thank god i put the child locks on ). I had to pull over on a busy main road and put my hazards on:confused:I pull them as tight as I possible can but she can still worm her way out :rolleyes:

    Grrr Keira is doing my head in this morning. Refusing to put on her trainers, silver sparkly shoes look ridiculous with pink baggy trousers and not only that, it's flooded outside, slip on's aren't going to keep her feet dry!

    She's such a shoe obsessed person!

    That sounds just like Charlotte! She loves shoe shops. She likes wedding dress shops too and points at the dresses and says "awww look, real princess dresses" :rotfl:

    I was in Asda today and they had four pairs of Disney Princess shoes in a nice box for £10. I thought of Keira when I saw them.
    Here I go again on my own....

    I know weezyl - on saturday DD1 was sat in the back seat with her and she kept getting out and leaning over the to handle so I put them on I was in my dads car. We have a 3 door car which although was a bit of a pain when she was in her little car seat - I am quite glad now. I tried shouting No and thats naughty but to be honest it just fell on deaf ears shes just sat there hugging the head rest of the front seat - shes just 19 months!
