I rang a customer service number for a food company today. You know, one of the freecall numbers on the packaging, that you call up if you aren't happy with the product etc. I'd never rung one before, because I've never come across anything foreign in my food (touch wood) and if I don't like something I've ate, I don't bother buying it again, ( Read more... )

Whenever funds are low, I always seem to find things that make me wonder how I could have ever gotten by without them, but yet, whenever I have some spare cash lying around, nothing jumps out at me. I don't know if this is the case with everyone, or just me ( Read more... )

It is true, I hate it. I hate looking at manky house after manky house, and dealing with real estate agents who think you are dirt, because you're renting. We applied for a house not far from the Brunswick Baths (btw, thanks for the yoga class heads up mlleemily, I meant to thank you in the comments, but because I left it so late, I thought I'd thankyou ( Read more... )
