2 hours 48 mins and then he tried to tell me five days to get it connected. Needless to say I have lost my sh*t. Refusing to hang up until it's connected.

Wow Trudi that's so crap. Definitely go for a new company. Just look for the best deal as there's not a lot of difference. I don't seem to have issues with 2 degrees

Oh Trudi I forgot to mention my hoody arrived on Friday so I assumed yours had too as you ordered 3 days earlier! Unless they're located closer to ChCh maybe.

I wore it Saturday and its soooo cosy. Slightly too big but still great

Who knows Jackie!  I have three more in my cart but the next size up as apparently they shrink 2-3cm and this is already borderline on boobs and arm length.

That's rough trudi is it all connected now? What company are you with, that's so unacceptable.

Nope. And it will be a week to get connected. I've laid about a million complaints and now I can't even change providers or I'll lose any progress up that chain and it'll take ten days. Vodafone basically ended all internet connections to my address, it's that big of a fail. Have spoken to seven people at Vodafone today all of whom are like 'wow that's bad'. Yeah no sh*t.....

I don't see how they could have done that or why it will take so long to get services back up and running. Oh unless there was a new connection at the exchange and someone "pulled the plug" as it were, your plug. Then they would need to send a technician back to the exchange to hook it up again. Guaranteed business I heard once from a technician when I used to work at an internet provider company.

Are they offering any compensation?

We had the same happen last year. They disconnected it twice for no reason and mucked us around so much, we changed providers and told them to stick it.

Incompetence, tabucutie. That's all it is. Absolute sheer incompetence. 

there is a little compensation happening, not sure it's enough though. 

Lisa I was about to but bc it all has to go through chorus changing company now will actually double the connection time :/ :/

Valid. The compensation never really seems adequate when it comes to service providers.

jackie are you getting another hoody?  I have four in my cart now but am leaning towards 'no'.... 

that scentsy haul sounds amazing!  I've already decided with my next bonus/commission i'm restocking my candles.  I currently have a Trio black raspberry burning, and a glasshouse tahiti one left in stash but then i'm just about out, so it's time :)

Nah I won't buy another hoody at this stage ... More for money reasons and the fact that I've got my eye on a new wig hehe

I was thinking if getting a long sleeve t-shirt hoody but I think the one I liked was sold out ... Probably a good thing

A friend of mine in Canada sent me a pair of below the knee, fuzzy lined reading socks for Christmas, and they're perfect in this chilly weather.  I've been wanting to get a second pair, and finally found some at The Warehouse this morning. 

They're not as long as my Canadian ones, but they're warm and fuzzy.

Lotsssss of invites going out don't worry - I've just sent out another round of hair care! 

La Roche Posay invites will go out tomorrow evening at the very latest, so if you've put your hand up for that one, definitely keep checking in your inbox; it seems like a very popular one. (and with so many on hair care trials, there is a chance you'll end up on both.  Which will be 5 reviews, so if it's too much, remember you can decline without prejudice.  It will not impact future trial opportunities).

Oh that's good news about the LRP trial! I would absolutely love to get on that trial!

Oh yes the La Roche Posay looks so good. It looks like a brand I could really get into after looking at reviews of other products. I would love to be on one of these trials. I couldn't decide which one of the products I wanted more. They both sound so good. I missed out on the haircare ones too. Fingers crossed for these ones.

Looking forward to the hair trial. I got Herbal Essences one, which is a brand I haven't used for a while so keen to check them out again.

Ohhh I like the hask range but not tried that one! Maree it's a NZ business called Bonny Bee, really affordable too. She has a website.  I'm not sure how I feel about the scent yet, she also has black raspberry and vanilla which I want to try and apple and cinnamon! They are solid perfumes.
