Hi All,
So, i had a very interesting day yesterday….
I went to the Boxing day sales, not something i do too often, but..because Baileys cd player didnt work on his new stereo…because i bought Breas boyfriend PS3 games instead of XBox360 ones (im hopeless..lol) and i had a quilt cover to return i decided to head on in.
I took the items to the store and was told that i could not return the stereo as i had to contact the manufacturer…hmm, unfortunately i saw red and proceeded to ‘do my lolly’ in the store. I dont normally do things like that (much), anyway, long story short, she would not give me the refund, i gave her a mouthful, got a refund on the other items and left, but was it over? Not by a long shot. I got down the escalator and thought..no way, im not having it…and then i rang the manager of the store, told him the situation, told him my contract was with the store and not the manufacturer, went on and on and on and guess what? I got my refund!!! Moral of the story…the squeaky wheel gets the grease!! lol.
Had to share this one as it absolutely exhausted me, i was sooooo angry. Any other day it would have been a massive trigger, i would have gone and gambled that night to ‘relieve the stress’. As it was, i took that refunded money and bought Bailey a big box of leggo, turned out he didnt want the stereo ( i was shattered as i thought it was a great gift) but hey, it isnt about me is it? And he has spent all day today putting it together, bless him.
I have my mums 80th birthday on Thursday and today i got a call this morning from the bakery i ordered the cake from saying that it had changed hands and they dont ‘do’ birthday cakes….aaaaahhhhhhh. Ive passed it to my sister to organise as the only day the shops are open is Wed, and im working!!!
So, theres a couple of good reasons (like i needed any) to gamble. Im happy to say that i didnt (well, i cant really) and a big woohoo to myself for that!!!
Hope you are all well and happy, sorry for the rant, i needed to get that out!!!
bye for now, Kathryn xxxxxTo live, that would be a great adventure – Peter Pan
