  • :wave: hello Shinner, pwps, Brizzle :j Well I was fuming this afternoon! V@nquis called me and asked for DH and I told them he wasn't here can they call back in December when he's home. They clearly didn't believe me and called me again at 4pm. I told them again he's away, he's in the army, I don't know when he can call me never mind them and the cheeky !!!!!! told me "hmm that's highly doubtful, am sure he can make time to call us at some point BEFORE December" :mad::mad::mad: So again told him their phones are taken away on the plane (didn't go into detail as to why, none of his bl00dy business) and he said again what he had said before. SO I totally lost it and started shouting at him! The first phone call i'd said to him I could help with anything that was urgent as I deal with all the finances. He asked what I knew about the v@nquis account, so told him that everything was paid off?! He just went "hmmmm, well we still need to talk to him" !!!!!! :mad: They have just called again for the 3rd time???????????? Am I going to get this until December?????? I wouldn't mind but it's upset me as he was so rude about it, especially when I said he has to buy a phone out there to call me as he can't use his British one so is he expected to use all his credit on calling V@nquis. Answer was of course, yes. Are they having a fricking laugh with me or what? :( Grrrrrrrr. Even when DF you get hassled by them :mad:
