HIC - Nil Points !!!

[vintageteacups]

Blimey - just phoned the housing info centre relating to the area where we're moving to ask did she know when our very-tied quarter will be officially offered (vintage is going nuts waiting) and she sounded so uninterested it was untrue.

Definitely nil points on customer service today! She was spluttering down the phone and fobbing me off saying that until the guy books a move out app, she cannot offer the quarter (fair enough I thought).

Then she said there are no available quarters there at the moment until someone books a move out! I was like "er, no, the house is completely tied to the job so that will be the house we move into". She was just grumpy from then on so I smiled (virtually down the phone to her) and said "thank you for your help". If she had been all chirpy and pleasant I wouldn't have needed to have written this - why can't DE/HIC/MHS buck their ideas up and actually do some customer service training???

Yes, vintage. I'm here . We have talked before, I'm just namechanging more often now to avoid being outed! It's a small world here.

offline I'm thinking I will need to name change too - would be really weird otherwise. I'm very sad about it though because having had my second nickname for over a year now, I'm very attached to it.

Do you think you know me in RL?

No we haven't met, but I'll introduce myself if we're ever at the same dinner!

I think I remember your original name - I wasn't sure how to pronounce it I think and you didn't live where I'm going to live (IYSWIM).

"but I'll introduce myself if we're ever at the same dinner!".....how will you know it's me?!!!

She'll know if she knows you live in the tied MQ!

Scary - sshh .

Actually there are lots of tied of quarters.

Don't worry, I don't live on camp so I have no idea about the hierarchy of housing, though I understand it's the thing to live on G... S...

Vintage you need to change names your SO outed

where's the pimms - only you know who I am currently though. Will have to think up something good nobody will guess!

yes beginning to think I may have to change soon before one of the masses from your future neck of the woods puts 2 and 2 together and gets who I am
Oh and if you think of a good one nobody will guess then I will appologise in advance if I am rude to you :)

That's the thing though - as soon as my NN doesn't appear anymore and someone's does, it's pretty easy to work out who I am - I will have to more discreet in what I say.

Apology accepted .
Actually, the NN I've got in mind, you would prob know straight away it's me so will have to think of a boring one

you lot are funny. when i was bored i used to think 'i wonder if i know you', pick a clue (like 'i'm organising the children's christmas party') and knowing where the mner in q was, would have a quick look at the local hive/ wives club garrison info.

be afraid.

i'm all over the place here, lol. and so obvious i may as well wear a 'madwoman' t-shirt to coffee. no-one has ever actually called me on it though.

Madwoman you were on an education thread the other day which in early posted on but then wondered and didn't thinking I may know you, or you may know my DH and it would have been obvious who I was . I am beginning to wonder who you are and if I know you, if vintage knows you then I probably do

I don't know madwoman do I?

Not sure, but I am beginnig to wonder if I do and if I do you probably do, detective work required I think

There was another thread recently about how much people on mn give away personal info without realizing it so I googled my nn and realized my dh gives away far more info about me on landrover forums! Maybe I should name change as well?!

I try not to give too much away but I guess as I'm currently living in my own house, I feel a bit out of patch life so coming on here, it's nice to chat with similar people. Sometimes, it's hard to explain something without giving some info.

MrsSnaplegs, you DH gives away lots on landrover forums I would be if I was you as having just googled your nn like you did, I now know your birthdate hehehe I am about to turn into your stalker (not)

Vintage once your DH takes over his new job your life will be filled with so much wifey duties that you will no longer visit us on here and MN will be but a distant memory , is book club still going there? always a good excuse for

Madwoman, have now decided that I don't know you in person but have a feeling we may have some mutual friends :)

pimms it's now called 'wine club' apparently!

.............and my wifely duties only extend so far. I am not in the forces and I shall be reminding dh of that often!

Pimms I will expect a card next year the

There's Wine Club and Book Club. And Pot Luck Suppers. And coffee mornings. Lots going on. PM me if you want to get your email added to the list, Vintage.

Gosh offline- the HIC haven't even allocated the quarter yet and you're putting me on the list!!!

Okay - will pm you - might as well so that I can see what's going on. However, you will then know me !!!

offline in fact, I know I don't know you yet but do you know me just from what I've posted?
