Options
!. A company's job is to make money from you.
2. Dept isn't bad, bad dept is bad.
3. Loyalty doesn't pay

So true.

Every day we get phone calls, even though I am on the non pester register.
Junk mail through the letter box.
Men even knock on the door asking for work. It is desperate times for some.
I have become very good at saying no thank you.
