being snoopy


hiding

[Neko]

hahaha..pocket beagle how cute. Cute doggie :) really like the hiding one.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Ahh, Snoopy is gorgeous!!! And don't they know they're adorable!!

@Wishful..I work in retail too, and know how the customers are, so even tho it's hard, if you try to be overly sweet, sometimes it gets through the anger...often it doesn't but try not to take it personally. I wish you luck..

As far as I know Michael, Redgroup does, but some of the stores are a franchise, so it seems to make a difference. Not sure if I've got that right, but I know not all of our stores are affected either.

[Neko]

I believe Brenda is right. Howeverm in todays Mercury I read a small ad informing about A&R voucher things, which makes me think, if our store isn't getting effected by the closure, then why would the vouchers get affected as well?

Mmm! That's interesting Laura...I wonder if you should phone them with that question? Just a thought...:)

Oh Laura, such a healthy dinner for you..lol ;) enjoy!

[Ian]

I keep looking at the SMH website and the headline starts "Coalition Pounds..." and I think it's going to say "Keneally", but then it says "Gadaffi".
Maybe tomorrow, they'll just change the one word.

[Neko]

@Brenda- Glad the brekfast was good :D! It's nice to check out different places for breakfast. Interesting to see how ppl cook the eggs.

Hahahaha, i know..terrible dinner XD But I needed it..Still enjoying some beers now x)

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Wow you are awesome Jess! Your parents must be so incredibly proud of you...well done! :)

Carmel wrote: "I cooked some yummy kebabs & had oriental rice on the side for dinner, not bad if I say so myself!!"

Carmel, I would normally say that food bragging should be accompanied by a recipe (so we can all enjoy), but I assume that most of us can do a version of kebabs!
Any secret ingredients or sauces?

Well done, Jess!
Are you going to post it in your Writings for us?

[Neko]

@Brenda- Haha, no washing and thankfully no rain :P But lots of cleaning rooms and throwing out junk!

@Jessica- Nice work :)

[Neko]

@Carmel- that meal sounds yummy though...now i want kebabs.

Yes, healthy & delicious & there's 3 left, shame I'll have to share them with my daughter! Aren't I mean!"

[Neko]

Hahaha, Carmel, just give them half of one and you have two..problem solved..lol ;)


My dinner was yummy..Tuna, melted cheese, onion in a snackle! Mmmm. Oh and a beer!

Your dinner sounds delish!! ;)

[Neko]

Hahaha..my bad completely on that!

Brenda, twas good! Now to think of Fridays dinner..It's the night I cook!

[Tracey]

Congratulations on the top mark Jess - what a fantastic feeling that must be.
@ Wishful I hope you don't have to cop too much flak, it's a tough game in retail because the customer always vents at you like you're personally responsible. I'll admit to being pretty sad over the whole A&R situation but that's life for you I guess.
Booked my tickets to the Tutankhamun display at the Melb museum - only a short visit to check out the display, go to the zoo and do some shopping - my credit card is already cringing lol

[Neko]

OMG..that Tutankhamun display would be AMAZING to see!! I didn't know it was happening there. **jealous** haha

Enjoy the wonderful trip Tracey :D Sounds like it'll be a great time :))

[★ Jess]

I went yesterdya to spend my last voucher at A&R.
After I brought two books, I had $7 left on my card. The nice man at the counter said 'go choose another book. We'll pay for it on your gift card, and you can have the rest for free. Whos gonna know?'
So I brought Water for Elephants basically for free. What a nice young man :)
But I am still very upset over the whole thing...

[★ Jess]

:(
I still have vouchers for Dymoks. I should definitely spend them soon.

[Neko]

Lovely man, Jessica :)

God, I never shop at Dymocks, simply because they cost so much (have done way before Big W was here). The prices they have, here atleast, are terrible. I go to book city or other major retailors when i want a book and then online if i can wait.

Book City, I think, is only a Tassie shop. It's prices are good, not the best when you think of major shops (K-Mart, Big W,etc), but if Big W never opened and if I never got into online shopping then I'd still be buying from Book City.

[Neko]

Haha...Did you purchase any books Michael?
