Grrrrr, what a pain in the bum! I was all excited for a minute too, thinking you were going to say you had received your offer. Do you know how much of a delay it's likely to cause?
I'll keep my fingers crossed for you that it's not too much longer. Don't work too hard xxx"I wasn't wrong, I just wasn't right enough.":smileyhea97800072589250 -
Argh so did I !
I thought yes she's got it!
Well it will come eventually !
I am smelly today as well I choose not to have a shower today cause its the first day off in weeks without having to do anything except decorator is coming later for the kitchen.....:(Isn't the knowledge that comes from experience more valuable than the knowledge that doesn't?0 -
well the water saga continues hubby spent a good few hours on the phone last night being shipped from pillar to post..little did they know however that he kinda knows what he's talking about in this area having done standby for years in the gas industry ...so he explains it all and tells them whats wrong they dont have a clue basically...anyhoo today i get's in from the night shift (was actually late for work yesterday didnt realise the time whilst i was on here not much though only 10-15 mins) hubby was forced to take a half days holiday to try and deal with this again...once again got shipped from pillar to post eventually to be told after demanding to speak to a supervisor that scottish water wont fix it we have to get a plumber as if we can afford a plumber and as if i would pay it ...so then he went out to the contractors and spoke to his boss he is sending a plumber round tomorrow...then scottish water phones back again to say that they are sending a guy round !!!!!!!!!...ultimately it is now nearly 10 am i have had no sleep due to phone calls guys at the door etc so i have taken a holiday for tonight yep one of those things i dont have many of (due to the company stealing them) there is no way i would be fit for work tonight and this has to get dealt with so if i start talking mince i'm sorry i'm just tired but will probably spend a few hours on here now that i need to try and stay awake as i am due a visit from the supervisor and the guy from scottish water .... unfortuantley i cant have a shower at my work as it's a persons home i work in but i was sorely tempted however ...we do have a tiny dribble of water getting through and our shower up the stairs is a gas one so the tank had filled up by the time i had gotten in and the hubby (bless him) had remembered me complaining about not getting a shower had put the water on to heat so i got one when i came in ...one of the best showers i have ever had you now that feeling when you have clean sheets on that have just came in from the washing line and are really clean and you just have a shower and jump into a lovely clean bed with crisp sheets ...well that's just how i felt falling into bd this morning...hope you managed to keep up with all that0

the bingo thing ...you have to play through 3 times what you put it and 3 times what is in your bonus account before you can lift anything out ...so i had to play another £8 through and that took me below the minimum allowed for withdrawl...so i contacted cs and asked if i put in the required amount in order to make my withdrawl would i have to play it through three times yes came the reply...so then i said "so basically your telling me that the only chance anyone has of removing funds from yourselves is if they win big time or often which wont happen (as i was playing there and several times got to one ball and someone pipped me at the post and each time this happened it happened to be a player that wasnt in the lounge whereas before every single time i have played the winner was always in the lounge indicating to me that this is a fix) so are you telling me that in order for me to remove any winnings i have to win big time to which he replied yes that is correct ...i tell you i'm glad i got my quidco money back anyway lol...well i spose i had nothing to loose but i sympathise with anyone who plays on line bingo for real ...i just did it as a quidco/mbing strategy....0
