Fancy dress disasterouso!!

Ok...
So as we know, Donnas (aka the pregnant one) birthday is in a few days and we are going to a party tomorrow that has a seventies theme.. Now, I have been to two fancy dress parties and looked for every bloody outfit from george and bungle from rainbow, to Freddy BASTARD Mercury! Are any of em any good?! Are they fuck! All the good outfits (including bugs bunney, sylvester the cat, tweety pie, tom and jerry, and fred flinstone) have been previously rented out So.. Ive decided Im going to go as a time traveller from modern day.. Unless they get a half decent outfit in for tomorrow that is!!! We shall see... Dont seem to have any bloody luck!

am going out tonight with Stacey.. We are going to get a little bit tipsy me thinks.. Should be fun.. Not been out wit her for too long!

I finally got my much needed, much awaited, much better rise from ANC. It means I am now earning a half decent wage and can put aside 400-500 pound to save towards hols/house/stuff. Am due one more small rise (think about 1k) in a months time but Im as happy as Larry with this for now. ANC are the best ever.. for at least a week! :)

OK... And now the good bit.. My reply:-


I appreciate your response but it is far too late for me to be ringing your customer retention as it was them fools that kept me on hold for nearly an hour in the first instance! I have sent 4 letters to you’re your 1 portal way address to different departments. All have been sent recorded delivery. If you look at my Vodafone bill, the balance is seven pound odd purely because of the time wasted trying to end my contract. There is no way that I am spending any more of my money trying to get in touch with you. The last direct debit will be coming from my bank account at the end of next month.

Grrr @ carphone whore house...

Account Number:- E***837

To Whom it may concern,
Please cancel the contract to 079174****5. I here by give 31 days notice. Please see below email that I sent on the 09/03/06. I am forwarding this to every address I have and any emails that I have for your company:-

If you would care to look back on the records for telephone number 07917****65, you will find that since last weekend I have made numerous attempts at trying to get an address from you to cancel my contract. I have been fobbed off and put on hold to the limits and have spent over two hours on the phone to you. Tonight I spoke to a gentleman who told me he would put me through to someone who would give me the cancellation department address (why I needed putting through to someone else I haven’t got the foggiest) but then I was kept on hold for over 40 minutes. (This was from approx 6.50pm) As there was no answer I thought I would then try and phone back to speak to the lovely gentleman that wasted my time in the first instance, at which point I was told that you closed your offices at 7pm. This means that I was on hold for 40 minutes while your staff were packing their belongings away and heading off home... I am still none the wiser to which address I should send my 1 months notice to (not that I am particularly bothered!) and so will be sending it to

The Carphone Warehouse Correspondence Department
1 Portal Way
London
W3 6RS

If this should be any different then I suggest you let me know as soon as possible. I would assume the worst damage you can do is cut me off (which would be a blessing) as there doesn’t seem much point doing this through the correct channels.

I will not be recommending you to my friends and family and can honestly say that from start to finish your service has been horrendous. I would also suggest a free phone telephone number so that that at least you are not charging money for wasting my time. Please pass this to your nearest and dearest.


I assume you would understand the above. Kindly cancel my contract at your earliest convenience as my direct debit will be cancelled from next month.

There u go.. Fucking bastards.. x

Oooh one last photo!


Spot the extra accessory provided by yours truly!

Some more photos....


































Some more photos from the murder mystery night. Richards attire was sported directly from his fathers wardrobe (glasses n all!) Kevs whole wardrobe (minus cycling shorts and shoes) were borrowed from his mum, and I think rest of us just grabbed random things that we found in our wardrobe.. (which makes Fordies outfit a little worrying but hey ho!!)

Sorry to anyone who found my last blog in poor taste re Richards mate... As it happens, Richard spoke to her yesterday and put the record straight on all accounts. I would just like to clarify that at no point was I bitchin behind her back. She is quite aware that I have been thoroughly pissed off. Its sorted now anyway!

Always appreciating comments people wish to leave on here... :-)

I told you so...



Kev... I rest my case...

A new look blog...

I dont know whether anyone has noticed but my blog has been slightly "revamped".. I wish I could say that I did this all by myself but unfortunately, it was done by a member of the IT helpdesk. (who actually stayed over 2 hours just to do it!) Soooo... Im a little bit more individual now.. And am certainly going to be looking into the whole designing of blogs etc.. Although whether I will actually risk bringing the whole blogger site down is another story altogether!! Keep a watch out though cos theres a few things that I have been taught how to do and I will be playing with over the next few days! :-)

Me and the wife to be went to a Murder mystery night last night at one of his friends houses. Very good night it was (even without getting sloshed!) and some of the costumes (kev) were absolutely... Stunning... (Kev)... Really... Individual.. (kev).. I will enclose some photos shortly so you can see "exactly" what I am talking about! (KEV!!!) My outfit was quite bland.. I sported a black shirt, pink tie, cream trousrs and a moustache.. Richard ended up being the murderer anyway! (and very shexy in his dads 1980's style "not quite deidre Barlow but quite shocking" glasses.) All very exciting.. Didnt feel that safe sleeping with him last night though!!

One of Richards friends (and would you believe i used to like her so am not been a bitch!) is been a prick as of late. Before Christmas, she seemed to start making it her mission to entice Richard out without me. Perfectly understandable if she wanted a "girly" chat with him or something.. But the fact of it is, is that she was inviting everyone out.. Except me.. And then when seeing her on New years eve, she virtually ruined my night by feeding me shit about Richard... I actually thought she was quite an honest person till Richard informed me she the biggest bulshitted this side of the whitehouse! What annoyed me most was that she obviously thinks that I believe the crap that she comes out with and dont know Richard! Anyway, its beginning to do my head in, as since Christmas, the only texts that she is sending are ones asking when Rich is coming out without me? Its fair enough that she doesnt know Im reading the texts but this is the girl that I helped paint her house for weeks before she moved in.. She was my best friend then... loved me.. Asked me around at least twice a week! And now, She doesnt give a flying fuck... Im just sneeped I suppose... Shes even invited Richards mum around for dinner (might I add, she hardly knows her apart from polite hello and goodbyes over the years) and now asking Richard when him and his mum can go around.. To be honest, I would think Richards mum would think it strange that I was not invited anyway! It seems, anything to get him there without me! Its just like shes making a constant point of me not been there and Im coming to the point where I can feel my fingers hovering over my phone ready to ask her what her problem is... Anyway.. Theres my rant done.. Richards going to have a word as he does agree with me on the situation so please dont all think Im a loopy boi.. One more thing then Im going to shurrup as I dont feel that Ive justified myself too well... :-

I am willing to accept that people go out with their friends on their own.. But I firmly believe that you develop a "our friends" circle rather than "my friend". I know that if me and Rich split, I would probably not see most of his friends again (at the moment, although as years press on, Im sure this will change) because primarily they are "his" friends, but it doesnt stop me from liking and wanting to spend time with them. I never see Donna without Kev or Kev without Donna..But they do go out at times on their own with work or if Kev goes football do's etc. Richard is the same.. He goes out with work, as do I and if hes working late, sometimes he will go around Kev n Donnas or something. His other mate Im talking about has a boyfriend that she sees on a Wedesday and Saturday every week... She cant really do much more often because he lives in Manchester so she has not really got the same "convenience" as me and Richard. She assumes though that because she only sees her boyfriend twice a week, that me and Richard should be the same. A few points to consider here:-

A.) This girl has been seeing the lad for a little over a year and still says that she is not in love nor has she ever been in love.. Not a bad thing as she is a really funny/outgoing/ person and Im sure she will find someone who she wants to settle with. But she is not in love and doesnt know the true feeling of "coupledom" and should realise that not everyone is in the same boat as her. Me and Richard have been seeing each other just a little longer than his mate and her bf but we are a proper couple and I dont think she grasps that. We are even looking to start saving for a house when we come back from Muscat (which I have done research on which am going to post!!)

B.) Me and Richard do have our days off in the week where we dont see each other.. If this was a Wednesday, would she change her plans from seeing her other half to see Richard? We have seen from experience that the answer to this is a big fat no! So why should richard? The compromise is we see her together...

Im gonna shut it now.. ...

Ooo... And I just solved an IT issue by sending a multimedia message showing a girl how to feed her printer! Im getting good at this!! :-)

The Muscat info that I wanted to post, will not post but in May it is hotter in muscat than July/August in Egypt.. I have a feeling Im going to be taking the factor 100000 on my person! LOL xxxx Ta tarrr!!!


In other news, I fear I may have to stop swearing so much in front of Jaya,,, I keep thinking her first words are going to be "didi a batdard" (adies a bastard)

See yaaa

Pervy Goatee..

Yes yes yes (oh yes..) He is sporting his very own pervy goatee! Now, before you think Ive gone totally off the rails, there is quite a good reason for this. Tomorrow I am going to a murder mystery night at a friends house and have been given my "character.." This character is a man in a loose creme suit with pink tie and moustache.. I do not have access to a cream suit but Kev apparantly has some that I can borrow for the night.. Sooo, rather than look like a complete and utter bum at work for the next couple of days I thought I would just sport a little goatee...I may even keep it until Sunday! (oooh errr, Richard will be pleased!!)

It has finally been confirmed my mummy kazduck that I am putting weight on... Was a bit gutted yesterday but the chinese I consumed last night helped to ease the pain somewhat! I have been quite good this week but dont seem to be losing any weight whatsoever really.. Will try to be good this weekend (to a certain extent!) and will let you know the damage on Monday!

Am on day 4 of the 6am-3pm shift... I am now finding myself movin around using my teeth to grip the pavement.. and Ive got to work this Saturday which is a little bit poo on a shoe ish aint it!! I think a lie in will be muchly needed on Sunday! Richie not off with me this weekend either so will be boring days of just sitting in and doing nothing.. Maybe I shalt go to the gym! Hoorah!

Ok.. Better be off.. Work to do n that.. (waahahahahahahah!)

Did I mention in previous blog that this week I am working 6am-3pm? (shift should be 6-2pm but Im doing overtime because Im super good!) Well.. I am.. and Im tired.. Have been waking up at 5.15am every morning but last night did not get beddy byes until about 12.45am so am now super duper sleepy and talking rubbish to everyone!! I am DEFINITELY going to bed earlier tonight with a nice cup of cocoa!

The diet is going well so far this week although I dont seem to be losing any weight so far.. (though admittedly am only on day 3!!) Gym tonight though with Mr peel! We are doing really well and its nice to have a chin wag while your doing exercise.. It makes time go that little bit quicker!

Anyway.. going to get me head down.. Very sleepy!! xxx
