Method number 1 for ensuring a booking - putting ones dinner in the oven! Managed to scoff it down just in time before a newbie arrived!
Method number 2 for ensuring a booking - take available today off, change location to tomorrows destination, take out contacts, off with the make-up and all set to veg out in front of the tv for the night, only for a lovely regular to call (forgot the final step of putting phone on silent!)
Oh another tried and tested formula is to step out the house and carry on with daily errands/shopping!
If it hadn't been for my rent being due tomorrow I would've given up on today long before I eventually did!
