Pixie 162 Posted June 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 My God....I've been with virgin nearly as long as you mick and have never had any trouble. I guess I've been one of the lucky ones. That does not mean I will not be looking at Sky for a better deal. Pixie, what a complete t**t you had to deal with. I bet if your other half was at home he wouldn't have tried that trick. ...I got to the point where i was almost in tears, after he told me that these houses are like timber and if there was a fire id have no luck getting out if i was stuck upstairs so why arent i living somewhere else.. I have two reception rooms, So back then my living room was what is now my dinning room and vise versa, He asked me if i actually considdered how selfish it is having the living room at the back because it makes his job harder. He just made me feel an inch tall & useless! I eventually text my other half to come home from work, he did & asked the guy wtf he was playing at taking advantage of a heavily pregnant girl, asked if he had a problem with the house, the guy soon shut up and got his work done under the watchfull eye of my fella, who was telling him what a rubbish job he was doing & even gave him the hoover to clean the mess he made, the guy said its not his job to clean & maybe my fella needs to 'Train his misses a little better, because she hasnt even made me a drink yet and its her job to clean' I really hope he lost his job, my partner wrote a letter to virgin media listing in bullet points everything he said out of line, everything he did wrong, the mess he left, the dents in the floor, along with some photos for proof & a copy of our phonebill with his mates mobile number. We havent had a reply though & were still waiting a year later. Im completely shocked still that a person would go into someones house & say and do those things, but, it made me feel a little better when i spoke to the manager incharge who when i told him the name of the instalation guy, told me that theyv got a whole log of complaints about him & it will be delt with appropriately.

poohbear 1,360 Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 Virgin Emailed me my bill yesterday...it was £20 more than normal....Girl on phone said I'd asked to be upgraded (nonsense) I played hell with some choice words and ten minutes later the bill was reduced by her manager back to normal and 10 quid off for my 'trouble' Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 I found that the Virgin bill was getting higher and higher, and I think they do that hoping you wont notice! Mine started to get up to the £60+ levels.. I only need broadband, so next time I move I will be looking for Internet only. I was forced recently to change my 20 year landline number so I don't even need a landline. Mostly use mobile. With a couple of thousand HD Freesat Chanels I dont need TV either Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pixie 162 Posted June 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 Would you like some of the wind too? My fence is rattling and now my rotery line is at a slant! *Shakes fist at weather* Oh, and its starting raining again too.. Typical. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
.... 24 Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 I only need broadband, so next time I move I will be looking for Internet only. Getting to that stage too Mick. Let me know if you notice any good deals along the way. I was forced recently to change my 20 year landline number so I don't even need a landline. Mostly use mobile. I've had the same landline number for 25 years and I'm also considering this option. I seldom use the landline these days. Don't have the need for a lot of calls via mobile either and texts often suffice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gibbo 04 188 Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 Pixie, have you heard of the Alfie story books by Shirley Hughes? I read them to my children when they were tots....they loved them that much my daughter ' ordered ' me to save them....and she's now 20! There is a story called ' Alfie's Feet ' where he has new wellington boots to play in and the adventures he has. It's beautifully written, I think you would get pleasure reading it and other Alfie stories, to your little 'uns. Check out alfiebooks.co.uk for yourself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pixie 162 Posted June 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 Awwh ill be sure to have a look at that, thankyou!

We have a few Julia Donaldson's books, shes by far my favourite childrens books author at the moment Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gibbo 04 188 Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 It was an early evening ritual for us, kids tucked up in bed after a bath, storytelling and then...............my wife waking me up because I had fallen to sleep on the bed!! Ah, happy days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pixie 162 Posted June 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 Our lady has started sleeping in her own bedroom now, So we have a chair next to the cot that we sit with her in, while giving her a bottle and reading her a story. We used to lay on the best with her untill she fell asleep and put her in her cot when she was shairing our bedroom. i miss doing that, used to have to wake the Mr up a number of times cos he had fallen to sleep too! When i got to the end of my pregnancy, i used to sit and read a story to my bump at night time, she'd kick away while i was reading to her, Really do miss having those feelings but i enjoy it alot more (obviously) now shes here, She cant sit on my bladder anymore! haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pixie 162 Posted June 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 When you have a baby, days are longer & more tiring, lots to do and juggle... So when you lay on the bed to soothe your child to sleep, who can blame you for nodding off with them? Tis the most relaxing time of the day I think. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
