    Hey @Starlight, yayyy you’ve got wifi!!! That’s brilliant! I’m glad you’re feeling a bit better today :) 

    @Liam aww, I hope you feel better soon.

    @independent_ I say sorry and thanks like 100 times each per day, everyone laughs about how much I say them, I just can’t help it cos I am always grateful for everything and also always have something to apologise for and I feel like one sorry is never enough if it’s coming from me aha

    Worst hold music I ever had was on the DWP’s PIP Enquiry line. I was on hold for over an hour and it was the most awful music I’ve ever heard. I bet there was only one person working and they were on their break or something because I’ve never had to hold for as long ever again.

    I feel like to get anything in life you either have to pay, or pester until you get what you need aha

    @Liam that’s a brilliant idea. Next time I have to ring the DWP I’ll dance to their hold music ;) aha

    Or even better, if it’s just a tune then make a song about how annoying the tune is and sing it to them when they answer the phone 😆 THEN dance to to the song.. you could have so much fun with this 🕺🏼 🎤

    @Liam that’s what I do with the fire alarm at my school, it’s such a funky sounding fire alarm so I try make dances and songs up in my head to pass the time standing on our front field aha

    Here’s the DWP’s hold music, it starts about 3 minutes in 
    https://youtu.be/vvJ9IbBrMMU 

    I had to listen to that for an hour. A whole hour! And that woman’s voice too!

    @Aidan My doctor's surgery sounds like that!!

    My doctor’s surgery doesn’t have hold music, it just uses the ring back service where if they’re busy you press 5 and when they hang up it rings you back to ring them aha.

    You do have to ring them dead on 8.15 in the morning though to even have a chance of getting an appointment.

    I hate phoning people

    @GreenTea are you alright?

    @Aidan I won’t be able to stop thinking that now if there’s ever hold music like that when I phone someone aha.
