Had a great evening BBQ ... family turned up ... with a couple of additions ... no they weren't crazed blog readers ... just Goliaths in-laws. A great evening was had by all ... We played badminton and whilst several shuttlecocks were seemingly lost to the great bramble field of next doors garden, heroic efforts were made to save as many as possible. I must add at this point that I whipped Goliaths ass in Badminton ... try and deny Goliath .. I have witnesses!!!

Fancy a BBQ??
Well ... a little update for you ... no sign of idiot number 1. He hasn't rung back or darkened our doorstep. Idiot number 2 tried to get another months subscription out of me ... so I pestered them with polite but persistent emails making it clear that I had no continuing contract with them ... that their apology sans compensation is not an apology at all ... berating them for incompetent staff and generally being a pain in the arse! It worked ... But then being a pain in the arse has worked for me for years ... ask Vertigo and Goliath.
The new job is great ... I have spent the last two days setting up an intranet site for the organisation ... real challenging but such fun ... especially when you see the end result!! What else is new at this end ... Been playing badminton with Cream in the back garden ... Considering having a BBQ if the weather holds up on Sunday ... Now if Vertigo is right ... about the billion stalkers who have tracked me down by taking this blog apart and finding the clues to my location ... will appear on my doorstep expecting burgers! If you are reading this and contemplating popping round, please remember to bring a BBQ with you ... coz I ain't got one!

Do I look stupid!?!
OK ... Before Goliath, Vertigo, Visa and Cream post answers to the above question .. its rhetorical!! But there are some real stupid people on this earth!
Idiot number 1: Accosts my husband on the doorstep asking whether we are selling our property. Answer no. So he starts asking about upstairs! Husband fobs him off and he leaves his mobile number. I ring him asking him what he wants and he starts going on about being interested in buying properties (he's an estate agent then!) and wants to know whether I will extend the lease. I politely say no and he persists in asking questions. So I remind him that if he wants to buy upstairs he should go and speak to her! I wish him good luck and finish the call. He rings back and says "you're just an amateur property investor who struck lucky" Yeah ... and ??? So I tell him I'm not talking to him anymore because he is strange and so is the conversation and hang up. He rings back again!! I just pick the phone up and put it down immediately! Complete nutcase!! Probably a mate of Pinnochio!
Idiot number 2: ZTV customer services person refuse to speak to me about cancelling mothers subscription. So I ring back two hours later and say I am mum! Problem solved. Now they insist I can't cancel subscription coz the contract says I have to give one months notice and another months payments. What contract! I subscribed over the phone and never signed anything!!!
Now let this be a lesson to you all ... Both the above mentioned idiots are greedy money grabbing fools. Therefore it goes without saying that greeding after money makes you stupid. However please note greeding after food only makes you fat! Whilst greeding after chocolate makes you happy!!
