Unhappy A little sympathy is hoped for...


Today, I thought I would a 'nice mum thing' and take my kids to the famous 'Hoppins' at the Town Moor,Newcastle tonight.
This is the biggest travelling funfair in Europe.....the kids loved it!!!....
only to discover 2hours after i got home,that my mobile has been stolen out of my pocket!!!
It's not just the fact that i will have to pay for a new one cos of existing contract but my phone is my 'buisness' all my clients contact me on it(i'm a hairstylist) It's so bloody annoying!!
I had it in a 'velcro' pocket on my leg...never do that again.
So i have cancelled everything and waiting for morning to find out what i can do when i ring customer services.
I'd rather give it away than have it stolen off me.....
So after a lovely teatime out with the kids,it's ended like that and i'm a bit pi**ed off....by the way...sorry for the whinge!!

B*gger. Sorry If it helps, I went with best mates to Barcelona for the day on Saturday as one of my leaving do's, within half an hour of getting to city centre, had had my purse nicked. All cards, cash, baby photos (now 12 and 10) . Well peed off. Had to blag off mates all day, not a problem but damned annoying. Phoned hubby to cancel cards and he just called me a silly b*tch

Karma on its way.

Its horrible isn't it
Had purse taken out of bag 2 years ago by some one in Sainsburys who distracted me with "Whats the difference between cheese coleslaw and a plain one ?". While I was thinking derrrrrr, he was half inching my purse !!!!

Walked along the front and found two men playing digeredoos (sp?), wandered along a road and found a stall selling boomerangs and then further along road, wait for it, a stall only selling LIVE emu's - from babies with no feathers to ones about 2 foot hight - I kid you not - apart from anything else it was bloody cruel Then yesterday, hubby got some change out of his pocket and found a 1 aus dollar there - do do do do dooooo :scared:

What a bummer! Why do these things happen when you are trying to do something nice for someone else?? That has happened to me so many times in life! Everytime I think 'WHY'?!!! Puts me off being nice - better to be nasty perhaps

I hope he had been short changed of a £1. That's what he gets for calling you a silly bitch for having your purse nicked


Just goes to show though that you are MEANT to go to Australia. Good luck

Maybe this is a sign from a greater power dropping you hints......about your future. Maybe you when you get to Australia you will start up an emu farm, and sell digeredoo's on the side...............

Been trying to phone me hairdresser for 2 days now but she won't answer the phone. I only have her mobile number. Bloody rude I call it. How can she treat her clients like this


Sorry to hear your crappy news Lynn.
Don't like cyber hugs but got this for you....
