Liz, put a thread up and ask... just the number, and someone will tell you whether it is one of those extortion ones....... It definitely sounds too good to be true... we were conned, once.

Love

Didn't think there was a meecie called shirley, Susan

*wracks brain trying to think*

*sticks tongue out.....* well, ok, I sort of remember them, but get them a bit muddled with some others... did one always wear a fur coat? (I really am serious at this... I know the tune from Sunday radio, but am not sure what they looked like, lol)

Liz, you do know that if it sounds too good to be true...it usually is!

And haven't I heard that if you dial a free phone number pressing some of the call steering buttons can divert you to a premium rate line? *curious*

Try googling the telephone number or company name first.

Daff, thanks for the GA, she is already at work!
I just got a call from some company I had filled in an online survery for, trying to get a holiday in NZ. She has said I have won a holiday for 4 in Spain or somewhere similar, can't recall where, all flights and acc. paid for, we have to pay £29.50 pp booking fee. I have a freephone number to call and will take about 2 mins, then they will send the letter out with all the details and I can take the hol any time in the next 18 months. Told her I didn't believe it was for real, are we expected to buy something, like timeshare, she says no obligation or anything, hol to do with as I please!
So will make the call in a mo and see what's what! Me and my competitions, eh?
Won't tell K yet till I see what the catches are, can't believe a hol for £30 each! Probably have to agree to eat at the hotel or whatever, and really expensive grub!

Susan, get Stuart Little's brothers and sisters out of that skip, poor little things, lol (says she who can't stand meeces around)

Aw Susan.... I'm sure it'll all be ok this time... I've had a word with my GA, and she has decided that yes, it's all right to do a bit of moonlighting, so she is orf to give yours and Liz's a helping hand!! So you are definitely going to be fine...

Love.... and everything firmly crossed for you.

Daff, the eternal extremely positive thinker!! xxxx

lol Ann....tis in the stars, if my luck with workmen so far is anything to go by.......The above actually happened to me years ago.....the brickie couldn't do the carpenters job so had to call one in....he made a hole in the gas pipe and had to call the gas man in.....he couldn't touch the woodwork so in came the carpenter again.....who 'accidently' cut through electric wiring and so on......that was the last time we had workmen in......so am prepared for the next episode lol ......what put me in mind of the song was that I have to deal with all the above peeps next week :-))))))))

don't mention roofs Liz......today they found a meeces nest in the loft while taking out the lagging.......and threw the poor little things in the skip Tsk!
