I had a phone call this morning at 6.30 from adom saying he got a good deal for me going in to work today on my day off, this despite me signing a letter saying i didnt want to be rung in the morning if it was my day off. i was not happy especially as i had a late night, it also woke the baby up and none of us could get back to sleep. i am going to have words tomorrow!!!!
rant over.

Do what I did change your home phone number (tell bt/ntl you're getting harassing phone calls) then don't give them your new number only your mobile (and remember to turn it off).

Whenever I'm not working the next day I turn my phone off the minute I get in the door :Very Happy because they used to phone me whenever they had a problem and I was sick of it.

That is far far too much info mrlovepants - especially the wedding night! :nana This is more what sprung to mind!!!!! Hope you do a roaring trade over xmas mate and we don't strike - but - you could try using the drivers to move the stuff!
