    This is just ridiculous! I have had to U turn becuase she has phoned me saying she has got several harrassing phone calls about this forum...grow up people! I am not advertising any services here and any grievences should be kept between us...have deleted number to save her any more grief.

    Just how did she know that it was you who gave her phone number out on the public forum????? Are you the only client?

    Well okay. I thought I got a bargain and thought I would share...but I guess people on here have better ideas...anyway, I have to go to work now...maybe if others went to worked a little harder they would not have to spend so much time on sites like these...ha ha ha all the best. :confused:

    cleomolly maybe it was this what annoyed everyone i mean how rude! and i also wondered how did she kno that you gave out the phone number??

    She joined today, posted about a "magnificent deal", then referred to her husband who is supposed to be her "fiance" and all 9 posts are about these great bargain invitations? She got very defensive when challenged (as it seems obviously spam), and then says the business got horrible calls from this forum? (and how would the card maker know what client had put her phone number up here?)

    People here are very good at spotting spam!

    Edit - and yes, she got rude about the forum

    and then rants about tax payers
    I have my two part time jobs to teach my children that nothing in life comes free. Working is as much about self respect as it is money. Truth be told, I dont receive a single benefit, feels great to know that my husband and I are raising our children and not tax payers! I manage my jobs within their school hours so we also have lots of family time. I look around and everything I can see was earned...and that gives me satisfaction...saving money is a great thing, and for the type of stationary I chose to have I did find a real bargain, but if you can make it yourself, great...I bought a birthday card from Asda yesterday and it cost me 2.25...anyway, I am happy with my choice. Now I really do have to go to work...all the best in your lives, I dont think forums are for me though...:o

    Why is the tax bit relevant? No one suggested she was a benefit scrounger!


    ODD
    A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men :cool:

    I'm obviously oblivious to the spam here! is she making htem herself and trying to drum up business by posting as if to say its a third person? How cheeky if so, and I would have thought not a good way to go about getting business! why lie.............

    I was above refering to the comments about it being a complete waste of money, or her having more money then sense, I just didn't see the point in remarking these things when it's simply a matter of choice, I myself an spending quite a bit on wedding stationary but it's one of the things near the top of my list. keep friendly guys ; ) this is what I love about you all!

  • Okay, I was a bit rude, but I was also very offended by the suggestion that I was not genuine...sorry for any offense.

    As for the phone number...I dont know how many people she may have tried but when she mentioned the forum I told her it was me, she thanked me and asked me kindly to remove her number.

    And finally, I did not post in special occasions because I did not know it existed, I found marriages and thought this would be the right place...

    Anyway, I have learned a valuble lesson about forums...

    I said that because OP said she didn't want anything cheap and tacky ~ cheap doesn't have to mean tacky at all.

    Actually i didnt say the OP had more money than sense, I said 'people' with more money than sense.;)
