Sharimain :nobody is rich enough or give her enough food
Angie : when I heard that I thought umf
whats her problem, did you hear what she said do you think thats
a normal person talking shes sick sint she
angie : Ohh mum
sharmain: thats why she try to interfere so she can spread gossip
that what she does. so after shes spoke to all of uno she still
ring back here and leave that message and coming to tell me she want
her money back because she didnt realise the women in the post
office is stupid. she want her money back she dont want to lose her
money I dont want your fukin money I dont need it I sent it back
since last week. you are an intelligent women in a big job I dont
have a big job and I know for sure you cannot send a money order the
same money whatfee change in America she didnt even know that on
the back of it it tell you AMERICA ONLY. And she fucking sends it
over here and then she had the cheek to send Tracey that they send
it to their uncle money to their uncle and he changed it how come we
cant change it thats FASTY. That man is an old man she probably
just send one likkle couple dollar in pun one likkle piece of cheque
and what Jackie does his dummy daughter she probably just put it in
the bank and just leave it. Me and Tracey walked the whole of
Uxbridge every post office metro bank, foreign exchange the women
told me shes never seen anything like that even the guy go pun the
internet in the metro bank spent over an hour the guy a search
round. The guy was searching round cause the manager said to him
make sure you understand me and it has nothing to do with this
country.
Let me tell you something Bradley you would not believe it right.
Marcia doesnt have a decent washing machine like this, I dont know
if you watch films right where they have this washing ting on top
you put this stuff in der on top and the water bubble up right it
doesnt ring it it doesnt spin it when it finish washing it stays
and what Marcia does ask them. Jennifer will tell you she rings out
every ting right and she leads out that water from that ting into a
bucket, its not even plumbed into some ting where it goes outside
or any ting so help my God. One day she came from work and was doing
her washing I tell you what I wanted to heave I want to vomit now
she realise she start to go to the laundry but Marcia Reynolds would
not buy a machine to put in her house.
