I seem to be saying' to be honest' before very ordinary statements and as I am honest why am I saying this. I am working to eradicate this. Anyone else noticed an annoying habit/cliché in themselves that needs weaning
No problem,also one of my pet hates if it was a problem would they tell me anyway? I always tend to call everyone sweetheart when talking to them ie: "thanks sweetheart" when being served etc weither people think its too personal I don't care its just a term I have always used. I can't bear the finishing of a sentence with "innit* when being interviewed on radio or tv,it seems to be popular mostly with youngsters.
'As I said to Mr. S.' (not Mr. S. of course it's just that I can't put his name on GN). But what can I replace it with?.
Jalimathat reminds me of an awful customer I had in my shop a few years ago. She was very rude and aggressive and said 'are you calling me a liar?' so I said 'yes'.
I have a friend who says "It was so funny; you can ask (insert name of person who saw the hilarity)" The fact that I don't know the person, or that I would go and find them to ask if it really was that funny.. strange saying..
Well what I meant was I use the word 'tend ' unecessarily and when I hear it come out of my mouth I want to scream. Example: I tend to shop at Tesco. I tend to spend all my money on gin? . Bella?
I hate, loathe and detest "not a problem". If it is used when I'm asking for something I anticipate will be tricky then that's appropriate but it seems to be a current form of punctuation. I was explaining why I couldn't do something once I said " I have very poor fine motor skills due to my medical condition ". " no problem" felt like a rather insulting response as, for me, it is a problem. Sulk!
Yes definitely, now added to that I am beginning to repeat myself , so I have cunningly tried to disguise this by starting every sentence with .... I may have said this already ! It's a slippery slope from now on ladies ?
