Two's company.

We have lots of unsolicited 'phone calls.

Really. Lots of them.

At least four every day either from people from energy companies or telephone companies who always ask us how we are and we want to say, "it's lunchtime, we're BUSY, how are you?". There's at least one a week asking if I want to sell the business.

Add in those awful recorded 'phone calls about PPI or banks or accidents we may or may not have had and we're forever answering the 'phone and groaning.

Sometimes, though, they make us laugh.

Last week we had one asking if we wanted to merge with another company. Nancie told them I was busy, which I was, and could they call back (great).  We spent the rest of the afternoon deciding who we'd like to merge with? Because clearly we'd be able to choose.

John Lewis came out top.

But a discount in M&S would be handy too. It's such a tricky decision.

Am waiting for them to call back to discuss terms.
