    Awww Buffy, glad you're so excited she's home - it's nice to have a break from people sometimes to realise just how much you miss them.

    Sally - Yes I got that email too :D

    Just the most yummy tea.....home made oven chips, fried egg and beans...yum yum yum. Sometimes the simple things are the best.

    DD2 got pushed over on the way home :mad: she doesn't want us to say anything to the school at the moment, she wants to speak to her form tutor about it tomorrow - so proud of her for wanting to sort it herself.:T

    Sally, no email here hun asking for confirmation about hot diamonds.

    Kayleigh, I'm not that great a cook; my brother swears I can burn water (actually the pan burnt cos the water evaporated). However, I got sick of burnt toast with beans or cheese or if I was feeling particularly flush cheese and beans. I decided I had to learn how to cook a couple of meals and every so often I'll add to my repertoire. I am, however, a more competent baker of cakes and puddings, but I can't live on pear and ginger crumble alone!

    Living on pear and ginger crumble sounds alright to me!

    I got the Hot diamonds email too, and I've told ex he needs to reply, he usually deletes all his emails though so hope he hasn't already done that.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    Well he knew I was an existing customer as he was busy accessing my records as we spoke and he had my mobile no up on the system. I'm not trying to get something Im not entitled to (well....maybe a little bit) but I think they should train their staff to at least know what they are talking about.

    Anyway...the way they treat their existing customers is shiite.

    BTW....what happened with you - did they sort it to your satisfaction?

    They knew with me too, had confirmed everything. I had to escalate it to a complaint to get a decent deal. I didn't get the original deal but got a fairly good one

    Glad I wasn't the only one with the email then! Im not holding out much hope that I'll get the charm but hey worth a try I guess!

    Why the hell is my skin so bad at the moment, its really starting to get me down. Its so dry when I get out of the shower Its bright red and stinging. I moisterise twice a day but it doesn't seem to help and yet I have such a spotty chin as well at the moment too :(
