O2 are such a great company!

There have been many instances when I have been extremely impressed with the company, but I felt like highlighting one today.

They text me yesterday saying “it’s your birthday soon, so we thought we would give you 50 free texts. Text Bday to #### free to claim” then after I text them they replied with “enjoy your birthday and make sure everyone spoils you a bit”

I just thought that was such a simple way to keep your customers happy as it hardly costs them anything to provide this service However by doing this the company has left me feeling really positive about the brand and service in general. I am also left with the feeling that I am with the best service provider around, and that they actually genuinely care about their customers!

Well done to o2 for coming up with such a brilliantly simple marketing tool.

Fantasy Birthday Wish-List

It’s by birthday soon and in aid of the celebrations I have decided to create a fantasy birthday wish list!

I’ll start with the most feasible!

A bunch gerbera daisies

Tiffany’s Stirling silver bracelet – £135

New flashy laptop – I would ask my brother for advice on this but here is one I thought looks good (and also shiny....come on I’m a girl)

Bugatti Veyron

But to be more feasible ... this would do

A ride on Aladdin’s magic carpet

Or maybe just a stay in his Palace

A day on a pirate ship :)

The only other things I wanted was a blackberry and I already have that :D lucky meeeee

I know this is an odd list but a girl wants what a girl wants!

Obviously I am extremely lucky as I will be getting exactly what I want for my birthday – which is spending it with friends and family – awww.

I love making lists

My dearest brother - who knows me so well, showed me this brilliant link which I thought I would share. This will improve my productivity so much ! :)

Snow Fun

After my rant about the snow, I felt the need to post up some pictures I took on my phone...(so not great quality) just to show that although I had a little complain - I really enjoyed the weather :)

One is the view out of my bedroom window when I woke up and was all excited by the snow, and the other is me and the snowman I built with a friend in my workplace car park ... isn't he cool :D (as ice)

Snow Rant

Why is it that on the 2nd day after the snow in the south of England, people are still making the excuse that they can’t get to work? If they want and excuse to skip work then just pull a sicky the old fashioned way. I have colleagues who claim they can’t get into work due to the snow and ice however all the streets have been salted and I know for a fact that they live in the local area! School’s have been closed and people have brought their children into work with them due to this – if they can come into work and not stay at home to look after their children then everyone can. The company I work for are very liberal about working from home and encourage people to work over the phone so why are they doing this! It annoys me because it just makes England and the British people look like we can’t handle a bit of snow and ice! I made it into work perfectly on time Monday morning by the way :D
