    thanks for the comments ann yes very short sighted the shop was empty or i wouldnt have asked been going in there for years his family have had the shop for donkeys his father would have helped me. some of his alchohol is really cheap though but small shops cannot aford to drive customers away to the big chains like that. will tell his mother when i see her hes very young and never off his mobile even when serving!! very rude his dad was always polite and pleased to see you

    Probably too lazy to count it, Jinny!

    All money not to go into their till now, though!

    Bet his mother will be livid!

    :rotfl:never thought of it like that ann yes i cant understand rude service in a shop especially in this climate. my cousin usually tells them if they have a phone stuck to their ear "thats ok you can have my money when you have finished your phone call" that usually gets their attention.:D

    i have quite a lot of copper to put into the bank ann but i only asked him for a fivers worth of change and he could have pulled me up next time i was in if the bags were short. I will shut up about it now it really doesnt matter about the coins it was just he made me feel small. tarra for now have a nice evening are you missing your family and grand dog?

    Thanks Mouseann, your thread moves to fast for me to keep up lol!

    I found the bit about the doorstep visit, scary stuff you handled it well though.

    I finally told my mum today how high my debt actually got and was telling her about this website and a lovely lady (you) who the banks had been incredibly irresponsible in their lending to and how an amazing man (Nid) was helping you to sort it all out.

    Glad your ok anyway x

    Hello just popping on for a bit. Jinny i think the shop has been really stupid. Gosh it is still money. Are they mad????

    Hi Woowoo, well done in telling your mum. I hope you feel better.

    Di, 21 hey, wow that takes me back a bit!! I hope you are all having a nice party to celebrate.

    Weather is bright but windy here. Perfect for drying clothes.

    All is well. Mum has been cooking the most delicious indian food. I feel really spoilt. Am taking them to Gunwharf to celebrate Father's day tomorrow.

    Glad England is still in the World Cup. We must improve. Didn't we invent football??? Does anyone know where it came from? £6 million for managing a team. Crumbs for that money i would learn the game too!!! (Not really, i think they are quite stressed out and given a hard time).

    Got to go, hugs, sw.

    Hi SW,

    It's freezing cold here!

    Glad that your mum is spoiling you!

    Hope you enjoy your Father's Day trip tomorrow.

    And as for our football team - without knowing anything much about it I would say that they deserve a hard time! If the papers are to be believed, their playing was awful!

    Perhaps it is the best they can do! Still don't feel sorry for them, though - perhaps the stress will do them good!

    Oh dear, i would like us to do well (sorry Nid) it will be good for morale.

    I dont believe that Nid really doesn't support England. I think he pretends. I am certain of it. He is friends with us and we are all English?? Unless i am being v stupid. quite likely with me!!!

    Bless, SW.

    I think it might be a bit related to the fact that Nid is Scottish!

    Incidentlaly, those blokes - Fitzer and Swanfan - have been really quiet over the last few days. Hope they are not totally depressed about the result last night!
