Autoglass & Rain Don't Mix

So, I'm sat in the hairdressers this morning having my hair permed, and my phone goes. Kerry(who was working the early shift) told me that Nicky wasn't coming in to work today because she's ill. So there's no one to cover between 12 midday & the start of my shift at 5pm. Pants! So a couple of phone calls & texts later with the smell of perm lotion hanging over me, I sort it out.

Caroline, the hair dresser, brings me a cup of tea & a fancy biscuit and I sit listening to the radio.
Caroline says: Do you want a magazine?
Me: No thanks (can't see a damn thing without my glasses lol.)
Then the phone goes again!
Autoglass man: Hello, I'm sat outside your house & there seems to be no one there.
Me: That's because the appointment was scheduled between 12 & 3pm.
Autoglass man: Oh right, it's raining anyway so unless you have some sort of cover I can't fit your new windscreen.
Me: (Feeling very sarchastic as I've waited a week and the crack in the windscreen has gone from something the size of an egg cup to a crack over a foot long) I've got an umbrella, will that do :O)
Autoglass man: Not really, I think we should try another day.
Me: (Screeming inside) OK.

The more I thought about it the more angry I felt. The bloke turns up an hour early and decides he can't do it because it's raining. The weather has been so awful for weeks now, if a bit of liquid sunshine is going to put him off I'm not sure he should be working for a company who fits windscreens! I get home (11:59am) phone autoglass and within 15 mins the bloke is back fitting my windscreen. What you have to do to get something done!

Hairdressers

Well, today, I spent an hour & a half having curls put back into my hair and I have to say it feels sooo much better :O)

I can't keep it to myself any longer, I have been on this fab web site called http://www.moneysavingexpert.co.uk/ and from there, I've discovered http://www.quidco.com/ If you are thinking of buying anything over the Internet check out quidco first. I've set up an account with them (free of charge) and signed up to a few things using a throw away email address (just in case you get loads of spam) and Quidco are paying me for doing it! I got 10% cash back just for ordering a book at Waterstones. I signed up to LoveFilm for a free trial and got £14.50 cash back. We received Flushed Away on DVD which Elena watched twice I cancelled my free trial this morning, returned the DVD and I'm £14.50 better off!! Signed up to a free trial of Experian where you can view your credit rating online and Quidco have paid me £6.00!! All I have to do is cancel before the trial ends ~ easy money. I've paid £5 into my account on the national lottery web site as I'm making 'pots of gold' for Christmas. Quidco paid me £3.50 for doing it :O) In 2 weeks I've clocked up a whopping £133. The only down side to it is that Quidco take the first £5 that you earn but after that the rest is yours :O) You can earn the most money on car & home insurance, up to £85!! You have to check it out.
