evening anyone who's still up ...... need to rant a bit
dd18 and I went shopping in Superdrug and the cashier snapped her card in two trying to get it into the pin thingy. I wanted to complain and asked to speak to the manager but she was in tears (dd not the cashier who just shrugged) and wanted to go - I'm so mad that I didn't insist that we stayed to complain - i feel she should have got some vouchers or at least an apology from them - I might write to their head office or something. I have had to lend her some money to get through the weekend as the bank was shut by this time and, not wanting to risk my card too, put the hair dye that was in my basket back on the shelf so to top it all I still have grey highlights GRRRRRRRR ...... and relax - I feel better now.I'm going to feed our children non-organic food and with the money saved take them to the zoo - half man half biscuit 20080 -
