    haha, well ya know, i thought while you're here and all :rotfl: :p:p I did it wrong anyway by not sending it tracked but i'll conveniently ignore that fact :whistle:

    Yeah the door thing was funny but not at the time lol!

    Feely, i don't see how anyone can not "fit in" on this thread. If you feel that way then that's only you're own doing. Maybe by focusing so strongly on the fact you disagree with certain things. You only seem to post when it's about breastfeeding, it's a little obsessive, so people probably don't feel like they can relate to you. And this IS a lovely place. More so when people aren't coming to cause arguments by antagonising the "underclass".

    Considering the nature of this forum, it makes me laugh when people come to brag about how loaded they are.

    Hmmm, don't worry about it being tracked - that only proves you sent it so give them the month and if nothing, let me know (PM or post on my thread)....

    Regards to the door - come on, you know if you had video'd it we'd all be sitting here is stitches laughing at / with you.... in hindsight you'd probably even laugh! :rotfl:

    As for bragging about being loaded, I always thought you done this when you actually earned the dosh? And some advice for feely here, I was what you'd call "loaded" only 2 weeks ago and got made redundant.... so don't be too clever cos you never know when your situation will change - you may then need advice from the people you've upset on here...;)
    :o 2010 - year of the troll :o

    I think I lost most of the friends a long time ago.

    You only seem to apppear when it's to put someone else down or disagree. Which we all disagree with each other sometimes but it's how you word it. :( How can you build friendships like that, people switch off. I disagreed with SM the other day but told her without causing her offence or hurting her, then we moved on. At no point did it turn nasty.

    Have I ever said I'm loaded? I said OH was well-paid, that seems different to me entirely.

    Sorry to hear about your redundancy, my Dad was made redundant a month or so ago, hope you find something soon.

    I read most posts, just sometimes get annoyed and drawn to reply. I usually manage not to, but there are a few niggly things that keep annoying me.

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    Anyone who is a parent would 'fit in' the thread. Who doesn't fit in?

    For example... I'm in a different situation to most people on this thread but i've never felt that i don't fit in, nor has anyone made me feel that way.

    Any idea on colour?

    Length?

    Any bits you want to hide or have out?, shoulders/arms/cleveage?

    Long, maybe even ankle length rather than floor, not sure it's more about the style. Flattering over hips so not clingy there. ;) I'd like to cover the top of my arms. Colours, I love the Autumn colours. Browns, reds. I'm a 14 btw. X

    Did you mention budget?

    I'd go for this with a bolero:
