I made a start on my ball gown yesterday............using a old simplicity dress pattern I had from school...I rarely throw anything to do with sewing away..I'm the proud owner of the family 'button tin'..and always put in those buttons you get dangling from you new blouses....
I'm a haberdashery addict....saving the ribbon you get wrapped around tea towels...and the little bits that come with other gifts.....you never know, they may come in useful....
I've missed going round the markets lately. for remnants and stuff like that.....until i discovered that you can get it all on amazon.....
I was going to be busy with other stuff today....i'd arranged for someone to come round and measure up for a new shower..one with a seat and handles to make it a bit easier for me....
the appointment was sorted and i'd got my son and dad round to help cos i'm not so mobile and a bit spaced out on steroids and pain killers....
so yesterday the rep calls me and just sort of says....'I've booked another appointment, so i will call to your house an hour earlier''.......
just so straightforward for him....''beg pardon' i say,'' then explain my situation and politely tell him to go and blow it out of his ass''
then i called the company, cancelled my appointment and asked them to ring the rep for an explaination....
why do these people think that they can treat a person like that, especially as it is a mobility company that i contacted so they know that the customers are genuine...they must think we are a pushover....
wrong......they under estimate the power of velvet and buttons and shiny things..........(and steroids, ha ha)
