    Good Luck with it, I can remember when I used to work on the phones and between calls I was reading a magazine. I got so into one that I answered the call by saying 'Investigations, how may I love you?' instead of 'Reservations, how may I help you?' :(

    Very funny, I enjoyed that Sue.
    Learnt something new yesterday, did you know on your Facebook as well as messages and other there is also a spam folder? Click on Message go upto the search box (top right of screen) there is an image of a magnifying glass, click that and type in box spam. I didn't have any spam messages but have heard of people who have (including prize notifications).

    My DS has just sat down to his meal too Becks. Poor boy is supposed to be working 4 days a week until Sept but had to work an extra day this week for nothing and they were 9 hour plus days! He is off until Monday now and has a busy weekend planned and has been told he only needs to work 3 days next week which is a relief.( Wasn't sure whether to interfere or not)

    Just instill in him that he shouldnt work for nothing and don't let them advantage. i am sure he will be ok though hun. He has a good mum who will make sure they don't work him like a slave.

    Chefs have a hard time for some reason Becks - they very seldom get overtime etc. They just seem to be expected to work until the last person finishes their meal. DS had been well warned as DS2 is a chef and is always moving jobs to get fewer hours. He is doing agency work just now so he gets paid by the hour. DH was a Union Rep and I was strictly a 9-5 person so we find it difficult to understand. DS3 is actually training at same hotel as his brother did but it is a different owner and manager although one of the chefs is the same. (he says its like working with a miniature version of DS2) DS3 is enjoying it anyway but is completely shattered!
