Dipped and dived in and out since the end of last year. Finally caught up this morning on the M25 going to work (had the luxury of a chauffeur today ), early start, waved to HG as I passed by at 6.10 am. Early start again tomorrow to Aylesbury, but no chauffeur So much easier pricing work when the residents are still in bed.

I had a not very good end to the year. Went to Waities as had a £12 off an £60 spend. Got some mince, chicken, coffee etc on my picks but also got some Richard Ward argan antiageing shampoo/conditioner which is half price at the moment. At £2.99 a bottle, not very MSE but totally worth it. Can see and feel the difference after first use. Will use it again. Miss calculated the shop, went through at £59.99 :eek: so added a coffee. Felt pleased that the shop came down to sub £30. Went back to car and it wouldn't start. :eek: Phoned breakdown service and told as a lone lady that someone would be with me within the hour.
Went back to CS in Waities and explained my predicament to see if they could rechip my my car parking token. Was told not to worry, to come back when my car was fixed and they would sort it for a for a 'lost coin'. I was also offered some coffee or tea to keep me warm whilst waiting for the mechanic and was told to come back for more if I wanted another cup..
After the mechanic had been I went back to CS with my coin. They gave me £7 for a lost coin. :eek: When I put my coin in, it was only 90p extra. (Have to say that I had no cash on me, had paid in Waities with a debit card and there is no bank card facility within 2 miles). I took the £6.10 change back to CS and they were gobsmacked that I took it back in. Said that others hadn't bothered. :eek: I just cannot believe that people would abuse this super service. Absolutely superb customer service from Waities. And yes, I have emailed their HO and the local manager to say thanks.

Hello :wave:
Hope you are ok?
Brilliant service from waities :T:T:T

This one, but not sure whether to keep it for when she hopefully graduates for medicine in the summer.

:rotfl: Talking to a friend how has a few properties. He got a tip off from someone that one of his houses was going to be raided as it was being used as a brothel, so he went to kick them out. They had obviously also been tipped off. They had gone, and had left a lovely note telling him to keep the deposit to pay for a cleaner to give the place the once over, and thanked him for being a nice land lord. He said the place was cleaner than usual, and if he could fill all his houses with tenants like that, he would be a happy bunny.
Edit: He didnt know it was being used for a brothel, until he was tipped off.

Sounds like an ideal tenant (although I would feel sorry for the neighbours).
