    This is shaping up nicely...just need to find a place big enough now! PMSL! Actually the place we went on holiday too was up for sale and that would actually be ideal...would need a bit of jigging around but essentially :) Can you tell I am doing anything to avoid listing the next batch of carp on flea bay

    How about that place in Tuscanny Squizz & Pepe were looking at...

    12th Pap, just the 1 night. I'll leave Poole early on the 12th, arrive lunchtime and then come back the next day.

    Actually I need to check something. I picked specific trains and then the cheapest ticket (£30 return) for those times but the tickets seem to be valid for any off peak service via Salisbury - and the return part is valid for a month rather than the exact time I asked for :confused:

    Edit: just checked the email from virgin and I am on specific services - the 9.40am from Poole on the 12th. The 13th seems a bit more vague - it doesn't have the details of the bit from Bristol to Trowbridge but apparently that's a bus first and then I'm on the 12.50pm from Trowbridge.

    Welcome to the nightmare that is British trains....

    If your journey is short, you can't make a reservation, you can't get cheap tickets, and you can only get a day-return (i.e. return the same day)

    If your journey is medium-short, you can't get cheap tickets, you can't make a reservation but you can get a return that you can take almost a month to use.

    If your journey is medium-long, you can't get cheap tickets, you can make a reservation, and you can get a full return ticket too.

    If journey is long, you can get cheap tickets, you can make a reservation and you can get a full return ticket.

    And people wonder why flying has such appeal... :rolleyes:

    If you make it up, it has to be believable. The truth isn't limited like that...

    Weeeeeeell...you know my 'manager' at work who I dislike strongly as she is big bully?

    She is lesbian, and was in a relationship with the 'team leader' who was bullying me best mate so the were thisclose. (still with me?) ANyhoo, she's now dumped the girlfriend to covertly date one of the girls in the office-only this girl is now on a disciplinary FOR USING HER MOBILE TOO MUCH AT WORK! lol (if you remember, that was what caused me to finally stand up to the bullying team of manager and team leader) BUT the person she is texting all the time??? MY MANAGER! yup.

    Also, my stupid step dad emailed my cousin and told her inadvertently that I am coming to the wedding so the big surprise is now NOT a surprise-my Aunt who has paid for my ticket was gutted! And I'm the one who told my dad I was coming to Canada...


    sorry, confused.com I bet...

    My friend came round earlier. Very worried. Her husband is on short time and now brings home less than she does. (about double what I bring home). Her daughter is going off to Australia before going into the RAF and that is troubling her too.
    When will it ever end?

    Bookie, have you managed to share any of your troubles with your friend.
    Or, is it only me that has friends & relations that moan and complain without asking you if everything is ok in your world :confused:

    rant over....I'll vanish again :o
