Thank you to everyone for your support.

We're not due back until Saturday, I've had to come back to Rhyl as i'd left Ella with mum & dad here. They said OH will be sedated in ICU until Sunday so he told me to stay away.
Last time I sat there for 3 days before he woke up and he told me off.

I think you're doing the right thing. As you said, he isn't likely to know that you are there, and you need to try and keep things as normal as possible for your dd.

I can't imagine how tough this is for you but you know that you can come here and shout, scream, rant and rave if you need.

You are never alone on here and there is always a hug if and when you need it xx

BT wouldn't know a fault if it hit them in the face. We lost our phone line and Internet. Phoned them up to report the fault and they carried out a line test and said everything was perfect. Funny that because the cable was snapped in two at the top of the lane! 16 days without Internet before it was fixed.

I had the misfortune of temping at a BT call centre..:o It was gold support, ie if you rang and ended up speaking to someone in Bangalore and couldn't understand them, you got but through to us.. 2 Weeks training :rotfl: there was 12 of us, not being racist or anything here but note the fact that it was gold support.. There was 1 English chap (me) 1 Australian, 4 Chinese people and 6 people that had come over from.....Bangalore :rotfl:They were great people but I was sat next to them and struggled to understand them..

Anyway, after the so called training we went live on the job.. first day, a supervisor told me that if I didn't know how to answer a customers question, to hang up... !! The same went if the call lasted longer than 10 minutes.. The next day I took a call from a elderly chap that had been waiting 4 months to get a connection, his fault had been past from pillar to post and nothing had been done. I spent about 30 mins talking to him and it turned out he'd not plugged everything in correctly his end. After that i walked out, i was only planning on being there a couple of months but never ever again.. After seeing how they operate I would never suggest going with BT..

Had some fun with good old Asda after my trouting with the giftcard scenario today. I went for mooch later on noticed they had not removed the sel on the car shampoo. Be rude not too wouldn't it, I bought it again using the previous gift card, overcharged, to CS and another giftcard no fuss after asking.

Morries 27 shower Palmolive @ 50p each.

Tesco lenor again, no room for anymore pork, god knows what's in the freezer.

Body shop on its way.

Towels turning up everyday.

Well today team Elite my dream finally came true

I hit the whoopsie jackpot! :j:j:j:j

Had 10 minutes to spare before dropping DD off with OH so nipped into the Coop to get something to eat, spotted bags of carrots reduced to 10p, result thinks me Wandered a bit further up and there was 2 SAs reducing meat and stuff, so off I go for a wee nosey and all the stuff they were reducing was...............10p :j:D:j:D:j

Got square sausages, link sausages, chicken breasts, yorkshire puds and a few other bits but the best ones were 2 whole chickens worth £6-7 each, and a whole duck worth £10 odd. Could not believe my luck, couldn't have timed it any better, was amazing :rotfl::rotfl:

I've been dreaming of this day for a long time :cool:

Apologies for the excessive use of smilies but I think in this case they are allowed :rotfl:

I think your post calls for excessive exclamations and dots :rotfl: so well done........... what a fab find!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :T:T

Have to say, I could not agree more. The amount of times our customers have reported faults to BT and been told the line is OK. We have gone out and found the noise or other problem is on the line, sometimes we have gone out and found the line is totally dead at the test point! My OH was helping one chap that had a problem for nearly a year, kept getting BT out and they could not find the fault - could not be in the house because there was no other wiring. My OH went out and tested it and told BT what the problem was, they would not believe him. Managed to work it so that he was in the house at the same time as BT (customer almost had to tie BT engineer down :rotfl:), told him exactly what the problem was and proved it to him, BT engineer went down local exchange and found he was right and the problem was fixed!

Don't want BT to improve though, about 30% of our business comes from clearing up their mess!!!

(Sorry about the multiple exclamation marks but sometimes they are warranted)

They agree there is a problem but they just seem to be moving it further along the road they fix a few houses then more houses go down :mad:
