    Can you guys please do me a favour?

    Open up http://www.educatingbabies.com and press the PLAY button to listen to the audio and tell me how long it takes for the message to load and then play. It seemed to take a fair while at home just then but seemed a lot quicker at work -- which makes no sense because my home computer is waaaay better than my work computer. Thanks!

    Do you have phantom shoppers? Do you know who they are?

    yes and no

    i got mystery shopped a month ago, got 100% and got free mvoie tix :D

    well they're pretty easy to spot.. must have no fly buys, must have other shopping bags in trolley, must have an item requiring packing on it's own, must make eye contact with you when you say hi.. problem is many people do this so it is hard to pick :)

    haha bang bang...

    yeh it was hilarious.. good to see the code over the PA worked, as soon as it was called a dozen guys come charging past with the scent of blood

    how's your day? board getting closer i hope?
    LMAO!!!!! :D
    Those codes over the PA always crack me up. Whenever they do the "security code X(whatever?) isle 4" I always think "Cool....wonder whats happening?" then "Shit! Am I in isle 4? Do they think I'm stealing?" :eek:

    I had a flat out day! Sent out a Bead Faery promo on the weekend and woke up to a tonne of orders this morning :eek:

    No....the boards no closer....still sitting in Perth, where it's been for a week now :rolleyes:
    Glenn said I should just drive up and get it, but I refuse to on principal! Why should I spend another $50 on fuel, when I've already paid them to deliver it?!

    I was SO positive it would be here today :( Maybe tomorrow? I think, starting tomorrow, I might phone them every hour, on the hour....until they get so sick of me, they kick someone up the bum to get it here!

    Ohhhh....so that's what mystery shoppers are. What are the guys that pretend they're shopping just to catch people stealing? Or don't you have those?
