ahhhh. that's what i've ended up with from phones4u.
same contract, only i took the cashback & i'm paying £30 a month, rather than the £25, so i get the gig and don;t use it.
(cashback is supposed to be £100 though? cheeky little sh*te that served us must have pocketed a tenner... ugh.)

i wanted an 18 month contract too, but i'm on 24. he fiddled it so that the £90 we got back, covered the extra £5 a month for 18 months, and he said to go back there after the 18 months for an upgrade, which reeks of bullsh*t.

in the end, i'm not going back to phones4u when i'm due an upgrade.
it's a damn sight easier just to go through the networks stores or over the phone to them.
it's twice they've f*cked us over.

anyway. i spent the afternoon painting my fence.
it's just absolutely hauled it down and i dread to think what it looks like out there now.

there was also a slight mishap with the brush when i was painting a fiddly bit of a hutch.
pictures on facebook if anyone wants to see. it's going to be a right tw*t to get off my glasses.

I clicked on the wrong bet on my betfair account, and the stake placed wiped out 2 weeks worth of good work. F*CK.

Quote: Paula, Sept 2010
I was supposed to meet a friend at the climbing wall at 1.30 today. That was what we agreed yesterday, but as my friend is the worst timekeeper in the world I was't expecting to see him until at least 2. I wasn't the least surprised that he texted to say 'can we make it 2?', I also wasn't surprised that he said he was bringing his girlfriend either. I like her, she's pretty cool and I wouldn't mind getting to know her better.

What has me hacked off is that at 2 he said they were going to be a little late. I said that the place was empty (It was, there were two other people there besides me) and he said they'd hurry. At 2.30 he asked me if I remember how much the shoe hire is and that they were on their way. I was getting impatient by this point but I'd found an interesting problem to keep me occupied. At 3.10 I'd tired myself out and there was still no sign of them. I made up an excuse to leave and got changed.

At just before 3.30 I was heading to the Metro to go home and there they were, all happy and smiley as if nothing was wrong. I got a half-hearted 'sorry, it was his/her fault' off them and a promise to do better next time. I stuck to my excuse and came home


Yeah, late people p*ss me off as it's inconsiderate.

Some f*cking c*nt drilled a hole in the padlock on our gate whilst we were on holiday They didn't get it to unlock but I'm still fuming.

Also yesterday a dog sanctuary place were collecting money at the entrance of Tesco and I put some money in the lady's pot (admittedly only a quid cos I only had euros and cents other than that) and she didn't acknowledge me at all, she didn't even look at me. It was really weird. I don't expect such a minor donation to be of much help but still you'd think she'd at least say hello or something!



That's sh** about the dog sanctuary woman; she could've at least said Thank you.

Overheard from the sales team, while bragging about which of them has read the least

• I haven't read a book since secondary school.
• Well, I never read books. I've got a mobile phone.

Ever since I downloaded this new version of iTunes it keeps f*cking crashing


It deleted my entire collection of Catch 22. Perhaps more, but I'll never know... Plus the logo is annoying, everything about it is annoying. But there is nothing else...

Having been fired by Lloyds TSB and being given a list of lies as the reason, I would just like to inform you all that the management of the LLoyds Banking Group is as a whole, utterly incompetent.


What the f*ck? that's a bit of a sickening turn of affairs - what happened to get you sacked? The real story?

This is only going to get worse now that people our age have the entry level positions in advertising agencies.

Entry level? You're kidding right?

I was dealing with knobs in advertising back when I worked at GBM who grew up on the same stuff we all did.


Entry level/graduate schemes. I'm tarring them with the same brush. I'm also younger than most of the time-served VR folks, and seemed to watch totally different stuff to them.

Face it, we're mid to late 20's now. People our age OWN advertising agencies. At least the cool ones. Christ I'm 2 months older than Mark Zuckerberg...

Yeah, why isn't this as successful as Facebook

Time to face facts people, I suck at the internet.
