FFF #28 – Can’t Help Falling In Love (With You)

Tuesday, and time for me to hit the Flash Fiction Challenge by Matt The Book Blogger! Check out the original challenge here.

This time our prompt song is Can’t Help Falling In Love – by Haley Reinhart. A beautiful song, but I love the rendition by UB40! Fellow Brummies, after all!

And so it goes… (not a romantic piece this week, though I love this song so much and it should conjour  up romance… but a little twist!)

Womanly Wiles

Oh I know how it works. Got it down to a fine art now.

That gentle sway of the hips, the coy stare, that fleeting smile.

It doesn’t take much.

A few fawning words, flattery… I have them eating out of my hand within no time.

They just can’t help falling in love with me…

They want to protect me, to spoil me.

I’m not going to stop them, it’s a pretty good set up I have.

All my needs get catered for, material and sexual.

Emotional? I don’t have a heart, feelings mean nothing to me.

Men.

Stupid creatures.

#notsohotpoint – Update 2

hotpoint logoSeriously…who do these big companies think they are?

I got a Hotpoint followed me on Twitter.  I got a phone call, while at work, so I couldn’t answer, but then they called Hubby Dearest.

What a waste of time!

They said they were asked to call us, and that apparently they knew about the problem. Then they said no, they only deal with dryers, the washing machine and any other issues were a different department.  Apparently it had to be escalated further.

The classic?

When Hubby Dearest questioned why they had called if they couldn’t do anything? “Oh, I am sorry Sir, I called you in error, I shouldn’t have called you. It is being passed on.” then silence…

Another classic?

The helpful guy from yesterday, well, he came back saying that yes another person was involved, and he had to be the contact for us, but no, he could not say when this person would contact us. OK. Then after another few hours of no contact, Hubby Dearest called on the same number to be told that this guy (from yesterday) was unknown, and that he didn’t work there! WE HAVE HIS EMAIL YOU IDIOTS!

I am sorry but Hotpoint, you have employed a band of monkeys to operate your customer service line.  You should be so proud of how your name is being dragged through the mud, and to top it off, we have the CEO’s direct email, and he doesn’t bloody read his messages either! (Maurizio.Pettorino@indesit.com if you are interested!)

I have the email thread which I have messaged to the Twitter branch, as they wanted details. Heck they got details, and a half!

I am just so angry, and frustrated even more now! I don’t know who to contact anymore, I feel I should send messages to the media too!

Thanks again to those of you that shared via Twitter and Facebook.  Any more retweets or tweets, would be gratefully received! Please remember the hashtag #notsohotpoint.

Thank you my ever supportive Peeps, and remember… NEVER BUY HOTPOINT!!!

Tidbit Tuesday – Coitus Interruptus – shout out to all you parents!


Mums (and dads) out there, you all know what I’m talking about…

Lights finally turned down low, you might have even prepared in advance with a fresh shave, new lingerie… Or more likely, you’ve realised that tonight, you actually have a soupçon of energy left, after a busy day of mum chores, and well, it’s about time you gave your man access to his marital rights… It’s been so long, you’re not actually sure things are still working down there, so time to check it out.

You give your partner the sign, the nudge, to let him know you are ready, willing and able, and hopefully he’s not already fallen asleep, used to the reccurent knock backs!


Ok, so now it’s time to get the party started! You kiss like teens, and get ready for the Main Event. And it’s all systems go!

Oh you forgot how good this feels! There, right there! Yes! That’s it, a little more!

And then it happens. You know what I mean. That little creak, that far too familiar sound of a certain bedroom door opening and closing, and footsteps. You have timed this before, so fast as lightning, you pull apart, clothes restored, and that caring voice comes into play… “Aw sweetie! What’s the matter? Bad dream? Let’s tuck you up again.”

Peace and tranquility restored. You go back to the Main Event, hoping to finish what you started. You know you’re on a time limit so, fast as lightning you get back to getting jiggy, hoping to reach the climax you require, before any more interruptions. Sometimes it happens, and all is well, you are both sated, and a further uninterrupted night follows. Or other other happens… Your midnight visitor comes back… Twofold this time because the other one woke up too!

“Mummy, Daddy, I can’t sleep, I keep on hearing noises… There’s a ghost moaning in the house!” ( note to self, silent sex is a much better idea when kids are in the house!)

Defeatedly you throw open the covers of your bed, resigned to no more action that night…


But can I just say, a much more scary notion now… One child has had The Talk at school, and kinda knows what it’s all about! Can you imagine him/her computing this situation, with a whole load of new information to colour his thoughts! No no no!!!


I shall sign out here on this Tidbit Tuesday, and let you ponder on these thoughts….

But a tip… If you want an uninterrupted night of passion…. Get rid of the kids!  Send the kids to their grandparents for the night! Though saying that, often, when this does happen, I’m asleep before I know it, grateful for the chance of a full night’s uninterrupted sleep!!!! Poor Hubby Dearest!!!!
