Sometimes it can help to just scream it out what's [Removed] you off....

 

I'll start...

As my "company" (aid relief, but behaving like a company) changed so many things.... Our teamleader was thrown out, is a normal co-worker now... The shiftplans are "planed" centrally now (I can't even say it's planned, that would imply it has a structure, but it's just like throwing [Removed] on a paper). The shiftplan is.... just no. We work our asses off, have plushours galore and the other watch has minushours. So they have freetime enough and we thought about putting containers on the watch to live there, because we don't know why we pay rent for our flats - we're hardly ever there!... And the best shifts are always given to the temporary workers who already have a very good job, so they get the extra amount on money instead of us....

Next week I can finally take my annual leave from LAST year (by law you have to take it by 31th march by exception... I got it excepted even longer. I'm so ready for a holiday!

I feel bad I can't mourn him as I still mourn for mum...

Well I've had a look at my finances and realise I can actually afford to pay off the 2 months remaining on my device plan on 28th February when one of my pensions is paid.

 

Yes, I know I'm impatient to get the S10+! But there is a practical note to my wanting to pre-order ratther than wait till April when my contract is up, and that's the lack of a live stock ordering system, together with a special promotion that finishes on 27th March.

 

If I pre-order the phone, even on the 28th February, I stand a good chance of getting it around the 8th March. Ordering it in April means whatever O2 say the phone could be out of stock and they'd not have a clue.

 

The promotion is 50gb for the price of 25gb or 100gb for the price of 50gb. If I go for the latter, huge I know, it's only going to cost me £4 +VAT more per month than I'm paying now on my airtime. As my device plan payment and my airtime are taken at different times in the month, it won't be quite as painful as all coming out as one payment as those of you on a consumer contract. Oh and no upfront cost either. All reasons why I remain on a Business contract.

 

So, I'm going for the S10+ on the 28th February; happier now joy


@Glory1  Can I just say, I knew you would find a way LOL

After raging, sulking, wittering and mithering, I realised a cunning plan would be hatched pretty quickly.

Good for you, I am quite envious of the 6.4 screen...(and all the other great features of that phone) Well done Lady Marmalade...Fantastic

Well @Cleoriff I'm not going to let an inept customer services advisor beat me. The double data promotion on 25/50gb of data is what made me take a hard look at my finances, as it ends 27th March before my contract ends. Lord knows what the airtime cost for 50gb will be then, so I have to strike while the iron's hot, so to speak 

 

And let's face it Lady Cleo I do really, really want the phone and don't want to wait till April LOL

Seriously, @Cleoriff the promotion of 50gb for the price of 25g or 100gb for the price of 50gb was number 1; being able to pre-order rather than relying on the non-live stock ordering system was number 2. My keeness to get the phone was last on my list of priorities. What I will save on my airtime over 2 years in spite of doubling my data has to be top of the list. Honest wink

I'm happy for you @Glory1 ... what a 'bummer' though to have to go through all that ... I know you're a bit of a Samsung Lady, if I may say that, & I hope it all goes according to plan for you smiling


Thank you @Anonymous.

 

Apologies for the late reply but I never received an email notification that you posted on my happy happy waffling joy Only just noticed it now by chance.

 

I will confirm once I know the pre-order has gone through and then it'll be the waiting game smiling
