Charging for towels

Agencies and other headaches, keys and cleaners, running costs and contracts...in short, all the things we spend so much of our time doing behind the scenes.<br>

Why do people unplug and others not check , had canadians in the hotel the other day
" any magic way to get the TV going"
"well no it should just go ," (its the newest we have and the easiest to work)
" well not to worry "
"Oh no I will go up and check"
( this was all at breakfast in the morning) I went up and checked , went into the restaurant and said
" TV now working"
" Clever girl , how did you do that?"
" I plugged it in"
:oops: :oops: :oops: :oops:

Sorry still off topic!!

In Spain

Ive written the instructions for turning on & tuning in on the remote control in a yellow postit[Just press this ,then That then control by blue buttons]

I know it seems a bit Janet& John.
[Ive actually got friends called Janet & John but thats aniother story I will bore you about at a later date]

but I thought I would rather do that than have someone fiddle with the tele controls & satellite contols[a men do] because they couldnt get the Tele on. :wink:

The punch line is ,when we were last there in July[bear in mind weve been visiting about 5 times a year for 3 years.]

My husband done his normal when we arrive ,straight to the sofa and put the Tele on.
I did my usual unpacking making cups of tea,checking everything. :roll:

He asked me about batteries,
had the back off the remote,fiddled with the Tele. went out bought new batteries, :cry:

found the instructions up for Tele & Satellitte[well didnt but got me to as he was stuck to the sofa.]

After much muttering and sighing :cry: and... we will have to call the Tele man out we went out to eat.....

In the morning I was up early[as usual sat down & turned the tele on & everything was fine....great]. :D

Himself got up and said ..what did you do...how did you manage that...
I said I followed the instructions on the postit. :)

He had been trying to get it to work like the one we have indoors and thats why it wouldnt.[Its worked the same way every time weve been] :oops:

Hadnt read Instructions............ :oops: :evil: :roll:

Hi All,

Getting back to one of my pet hates/phobias Flannels :evil: ..

[for Flannels see Wash Cloth] :wink:

Not sure if this is true but it made me laugh
...A Cautionary Tale... :wink:
WASH CLOTH
>(There is not a woman alive today who won't crack up over this!)

>"I was due for an appointment with the gynecologist later in the week.
>Early one morning, I received a call from the doctor's office to tell me
>there was a cancellation and the 9:30am appointment was available. I took
>it.

>I had only just packed everyone off to work and school, and it was already

>have any time to spare. As most women do, I like to take a little extra
>effort over hygiene when making such visits, but this time I wasn't going
>to be able to make the full effort. So, I rushed upstairs, threw off my
>pajamas, wet the washcloth that was sitting next to the sink, and gave
>myself a quick wash in "that area" to make sure I was at least presentable.
>I threw the washcloth in the clothes basket, donned some clothes, hopped in

>I was in the waiting room for only a few minutes when I was called in.
>Knowing the procedure, as I'm sure you do, I hopped up on the table, looked

>I was a little surprised when the doctor said, "My, we have made an extra

>After the appointment, I heaved a sigh of relief and went home. The rest of

>After school when my six year old daughter was playing, she called out from

>I told her to get another one from the cupboard.

>She replied, "No!!!"

>(Now wait for it, this is too funny not to be true!!!)

>She yelled, " I need the one that was here by the sink, it had all my
