    I was driving through my burger for tea - sure I was rumbled when I was offered a receipt.

    However the luke warm, unsalted, fries I waited to be freshly made and the two staff members smoking in between the two drive thru windows made me think otherwise.

    OMG just imagine the proofreading queries if you mention the smoking, GYP might just sack you for a truthful report

    A recent buy back and the agency said in an email that they will get back in regards what needs doing with the purchases by Monday. No info despite me emailing them. My car is having its MOT next week and having a couple of rooms being decorated. No space to put the stuff. None of my friends or family are willing to store the purchases. Got the fees and expenses on Monday.

    Could be worse, I'm baby-sitting 4 pallets for a mate and have just taken delivery of a huge heap of IMS kit. It's what we do! If it's getting to the stage of causing a problem, rent some storage for your business (council lockups are £8 a week round here... for none-commercial purposes, but who's ever gonna know?).
    Yes it's overwhelming, but what else can we do?
    Get jobs in offices and wake up for the morning commute?

    They queried the timing - way outside their target. Didn't mention the smoking at all.

    OK. Bit of a question, can someone help me out.

    Did a pizza delivery "visit" for RE today. Placed my order and was not given a promised time so waited over an hour. Nothing came, so I dialled the direct number and asked what was happening. I was told that the order had been cancelled and that the person who took the call had just started today. Basically, she didn't have a clue what she was doing.

    I didn't cook anything as we were all expecting pizza for supper. I didn't reorder as I would have had to diall the call recording pallarva and I think it would have been obvious I was the special shopper, plus I was not prepared to wait another hour (or even longer in case the newbie cancelled again). I have now ordered takeaway from somewhere else.

    Would there be any chance of me claiming the reimbursement (I had to order food from somewhere else!) and the fee from RE even though I obviously can't do the report? Am I in dreamland or could that be a possibility? It was not through any fault of my own that the order was cancelled and that I can't complete a full report.

    HELP! :(:(:(:o:o:o

    What a nightmare.

    They might help with the fee but I doubt they are going to reimburse your other takeaway.

    You need to get your storecupboard essentials sorted and Delia cookbooks to hand to be able to rustle up a three course meal in 30 mins! :p
