    Pap hun...you are so like my little sister! She is very much an independant women, she did go to uni but is very happy with her lot (well ok there has been a mountain of shiite too) but she always come out and thinks of others before herself. Those friends aren't real friends hun, if they were they would have been worried about you and been in contact! Have you thought about joining another church group? My aunt goes to a church in your area, I can find out if its any good if its something that you might like to consider at some point.

    We all love you for you and more importantly you are beginning to love yourself for who you are :)

    As Ive always said we come into0 life with nothing & we go out with nothing.
    What we have inbetween is incidendal.
    Just because people have material things doesent make them better people.

    Okay so didnt make it to choir - will go next week but bought nice dress on the way home to wear to my dinner tonight - just need to think about some make-up in a bit and I'm off out :)

    Pap - really - jealously will eat away at you until you have nothing but regrets. Think of all the things that you have that make you happy and stick two fingers up to everyone else - took me a long time to learn that but it was a lesson well worth it :)

    (and if there's stuff you arent happy with then write a plan to change it - you cant shirk it when its written down ;))

    I've given up with toluna - they took 5 months to send my last voucher.

  • Snags-I did put something on the FB page but it kind of got lost I guess.

    PAP-the point of BYOB is that you bring stuff FOR YOU! You do not need to bring anything for anyone else sweetheart! Honestly.

    I was going to get the decorations myself, and the plates/bowls/cutlery as well-I can't expect people to get that kind of stuff! All I was thinking is if people bring their own drinks and maybe pitch in for food...I think it is so kind of you all to offer but its a bit much to ask when most of you are travelling a VERY long way to see me, buying new outfits (still not sure what I am wearing!) staying in hotels, taking taxis etc.

    Really, I cant ask that of you all. But you are all so very very sweet and kind and overly generous to offer xxxxx
