    Hello all!
    Well I am back in the relative safety of this thread. I ventured over to another board on here to give someone an estimate of how much our life assurance policy was (as they wanted some to compared to) and I got my head bitten off by several posters :eek: Apparently it is far too cheap and I'm basically a silly bimbo for considering that it was reasonable (nothing to do with the fact I'm a healthy, non smoking 20 something!). I hate that some people can be faceless idiots when all people are trying to do is help.

    Hi jamtart6 - well, I would not even bother thinking about it anymore if I was you. You did the good thing, you tried to help - good on you girl, i wish there were more people like that in the world. Well done!!! Ignore the bad, do and enjoy the good. xxx

    just checking out the scrapbook inspirations mag - keep saying to myself -no!no!no! you cannot possibly start that!!! :rotfl:Too much to do already i'm afraid and saving every **** penny. :-) Although i might be partial to the occasional homemade card. :-) We're still covered in snow, so no gardening :-( . Any news on when spring's coming? :-)

    jammy I think we're lucky to have such a friendly helpful thread. I've been on a few other threads and it's amazing how many people pull you down when you're trying to help - we are safe with the thrifty girls. Found the old style board very nice but I tend to just lurk round there.
  • Awww Jam tart dont worry ur back in the safety of our company.
    I know what you mean tho it is suprising how many rude people there are out there. This is the only board i actually talk on alot coz to be honest its the only thread where i was made to feel welcome. All the other threads have there regular posters and any one new gets ignored abit. x x

  • Welcome back Jammy - I've been to the dark side and come scurrying back with my jarmies pulled over my head having asked what i thought was a reasonable question and was basically told I was stupid!

    Anyhooo I'm feeling very full as have just been to Frankie and Benny's for OH's birthday. OH nearly hid under the table as I was paying and had a text to get £5 off - so my huge slab of banana cheesecake was free :j:j.

    Didn't think I'd done much today but discovered I've made 2 cards, done a load of washing, changed the spare bed where the cat was sick (eeewwww) and tidyed the room, tidyed our room and put all my jewellery into the jewellery box that I've had for 2 years - think I might have a day off tomorrow once I've done the ironing :T.
    Officially a non-smoker but still rounder than recommended :p

    Totally agree, this is the nicest thread on here, its like coming back to old friends, there are a few other nice threads, but some people I'm sure they just come on the board to cause a row,:mad: and they would swear black is white.:mad:

    Stay in here, dont go far..............
    xx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx
  • Can I just add my tuppance worth...........lol that shows my age!

    This is the nicest thread because its full of the nicest people... nobody judges and everyone is welcome ... or thats how it seems to me anyway and I am a newbie to posting, but I have been lurking for ages and ages. Finally got the courage to post on this thread though.... so what does that say about you all on here???

    Give yourselves all a big pat on the back
    Here I stand, foot in hand
    staring at the wall
    I'm not quite right at all
  • >>> waves at manson666 and aurora 14 to welcome them to this thread

    How dare they be horrid to 'our Jammy' :mad: Best to keep all the help here where its appreciated the 'orrid lot . No idea why some people take great joy in being nasty :confused: probably got nothing better to do with their time, maybe they are redundant trolls :rotfl:

    paddingtondoo banana cheesecake from Frankie & Bennys is my all time FAV !! So free banana cheesecake must taste even better :D

    You are so right mum2one its like being with your friends, or coming back home :D Have you met my BIL :rotfl: hes like that in real life .If you said the sky was blue he would say it was green ... whats worse he would really really believe that its green too :rolleyes:
    furrypig says:my name is Choccy and I am addicted to nose free stamps as I want to save them all and give them noses!!!:rotfl:
