Argh!

I really wanted to write a long post tonight talking about how excited I am to be going to the Blogopolis on Saturday and what I hope to get out of it and how I spent hours and hours trying to find the right handbag that will fit my itty bitty baby laptop and rather large camera in it and still leave my hands free to to hand out my snazzy business cards and about how much I am shitting myself about being in a room where I know NO-ONE!  Are you going?  I would love to meet you!  I want to meet everyone!  I am so excited!  And scared.

But my brain thinks my body it is coming down with the flu.  So I went to the chemist and purchased all this...

... and I'm putting myself to bed.  Please send positive vibes my way.  I have work tomorrow from 2pm-10pm, then all day Saturday at Blogopolis and then work on Sunday from 930am-7pm.

I just simply cannot be sick this weekend.  No way.  No how.

Wordless Wednesday - Tickets & Cards

The End Of The Saga?

To get yourself up to date with this, see A Letter To Reading Cinemas

I left it a few days and then I emailed them again.  Here is part of the letter I received back from Reading Cinemas...


Hi Jo,

Sorry about the delay in getting back to yourself re you last visit to the cinemas here in Sunbury, as mentioned on the phone I sincerely apologise for the fact that your cinema experience fell well short of meeting a satisfactory  standard and would be pleased if you would accept 4 complimentary tickets to attend the cinemas here at your leisure.

On two of the complimentary passes if it is O.K with yourself I would appreciate it if you went to see a 3D movie, as 3D movies are new to Sunbury and the movie you saw was a 3D session of harry Potter I would like further feedback on the glasses I am concerned as they are put through a dishwasher after being used that maybe a film of detergent isn’t being rinsed properly and I would appreciate your honest feedback as the glasses obviously shouldn’t be greasy or scratched.

Once again I apologise for the substandard experience  at the cinemas and appreciate your feedback, Thanks for your support of the cinemas in Sunbury and please feel free to contact me in relation to any concerns or feedback you may have.

Thanks,

Cinema Complex Manager

So, I have four tickets to use.  I am very hopeful that my experience next time will be great, but I guess there's only one way to find out.

Before I sent the initial letter I ummmed and ahhhed for a while, wondering if I should bother speaking up.  In the end I decided I had to.  I believe that we should NOT stand for bad customer service.  There is only one way to improve things, and that is to complain about it to the right people.

My Sister

I have the best sister in the world.  I know a lot of people think they have the best sister in the world, but they're wrong.  Here are but some of the reasons why my sister is better than yours.

*She is older than me.  Old enough that when I was born it was like she had a real doll to play with, and play with me she did.  She looked after me a lot when I was little.

*She saved her pocket money and used it to buy me Strawberry Freddo Frogs.

*When she moved out of home, even though things were really strained with our parents, she made the effort to come and get me and take me to her house for weekends. 

*She let me wear a pretty dress and be a junior bridesmaid at her wedding.

*She didn't get too mad when I spilt an entire can of lemonade on my pretty dress just before we had the wedding photos taken.

*She can do amazing things with hair.

*She used to let me cook things in her kitchen.

*She has the best stocked baking kitchen.  With all the right sorts of sugar and lots of different sized baking trays and things.

*She cooks me Meatloaf.  And sometimes meringues.

*She has entrusted me with the care of her children.  More times than I can count.

*She introduced me to Lolly Gobble Bliss Bombs

Accept no imitations!

*Even though she didn't like him nobody liked him, she supported the fact that I chose to live with a fucktard for almost four years.

*She supported me again when I chose to leave said fucktard.

*She always seems to know when I need reassurance about things.

*She helped me more than words can say when PTSD engulfed my life the first time and she is doing the same this time around.

*She is the first person I call when things go bad, and the very first person I call when things are great.

*She is beautiful. Despite the fact that she lets me cut her fringe with kitchen scissors.

*She loves me unconditionally.

*She gave Chyken permission to ask me to marry him.

*She pretended to act surprised when I told her I was engaged to Chyken.

*She helped me put my wedding dress on, and told me I looked beautiful.

*She proudly stood beside me as I took my wedding vows.

*She kept me together when my world was falling apart when my Dad died.

*She held my hand and stopped me having to walk out of the church on my own behind his coffin.

*She let me move into her house when there really wasn't room.

*She treats Chyken like he has always been part of our family.

*She is an amazing mother.

*She makes me laugh.

*She listens to me.

*She is hopeless at trivia, but comes along to trivia nights regardless.

*She is the bee's knee's, the ant's pant's and the cat's pajamas.

*She has no idea how wonderful she really is.

*She is my best friend.


Me & My Sister

 Today is her birthday. 

Happy Birthday to the best sister in the world!   I hope you have an amazing day. 

Thank you for everything you do for me. 

I love you.
