Notice to newcomers part 6!!!

never-in-doubt

I came here yesterday looking for the Part 5 and to my horror, it was locked. I searched and searched and when I couldn't search any longer - I was given a sign.....

The sign told me to search one last time - I did - I found you all again - wooooohooooo!





* Now don't be moving houses again - that's a cheap nastry trick :whistle::whistle:

Hi NM

You finished school yet? how long you got to be there for? It must be getting in the way of your free money time?

Numpty_Monkey

I'm there till Friday,

I've not done as many clicks as normal since I started this thing,
and a few sites have been playing silly bugers

Beed to promotional thing my mate was doing, a sort of home selling thing
Something not sitting right with me about it:think:

'Night all

errrr ... yes, it is actually, washer, but you don't notice the cough medicine taste after a couple of glasses...:rotfl::rotfl:

It was a thread posted by a user called enabler - about not being able to afford his wife any longer - the posts got a bit pointed, shall I say. It seems to have been forgotten now, thank goodness, but I have a feeling that this new one has the potential to get about as bad .

Well done on getting the half hour of ironing done, btw, I've successfully managed to avoid doing most of the things I was going to do today, including most of the work.... which means I'm now going to have one of those days tomorrow

That thread got really bad! I pm'ed Enabler to check he was ok; he got back to me, phew! But not sure he's been back much since .

Loving the shrug smileys... need to work out how to use them myself .

Hi gang

I arrived home last night - I got delayed in the airport by half an hour:mad: I had a fabby time and only had dinner in the hotel on 3 nights so it was a waste going half board. I did have some fun - Wednesday night a whole gang of us (the grooms, both sets of parents, friends and employees) went out to a tapas bar for dinner, Friday I went on a boat trip from Puerto Rico for 2 hours dolphin watching - saw a pod of 30 dolphins with calves (got sunburnt:eek:) then it was off to the market in Mogan where my haggling skills came to the fore - handmade lace table cloth picked up for 20E, 2 amethyst necklaces 8E each, 1 bamboo handbag 10E, 1 croaking frog 2E, 2 sand paintings 11E each. Had to get a cab to the wedding - cost me 4E (all cabs in Playa del Ingles have to charge 4E however long the journey) - wedding was fab - it was hot although it was breezy and it was outdoors - it got nippy later but I borrowed one of the groom's jackets to wear. We had a singer and then Kitty Munroe came on with her drag act which was funny. Sunday night I was out again this time in the Yumbo Centre (a huge shopping centre that I have never been to before and yet I knew where the restaurant was without being told:eek:).

Arrived back in the UK at around 19.50 last night - got a cab home and then I discovered that his credit card machine wasnt working so I had to dash into the flat to pick up my debit card and scrape together some English money to give to the cabbie, then I ran across to the bank to draw money out (thankfully the cabbie didnt leave the meter running:D), I said that I was going to go to the shop for some milk me to hop back into his cab and he would drive me there as he was going past the shoso he told p anyway on his way to the city centre - he didnt charge me although the meter said it was £9.11:cool:

Have spent today itching like mad as my sunburn is going brown.

Yay, dolphins! That sounds fab!

I am currently a croaking frog! I may need aswig or several of WASHER's sloe gin to help out there! (But seriously H, I've the same question as Tixy and Spoon.)

Cabbie's like that seem to be a dying breed these days! It's good to know there's still willing to believe in the good people out there!

Not ever-one is a troll thankfully! Most of us like to help where we possibly can.

WASHER

Niccatw, you are more than welcome to have the Sloe Gin, I think it would certainly cure several ailments, it isn't to my taste at all, cough medicine with alcohol in it....yuk, its quite thick and syrup like, I'll stick to the Gordons.

An early bump from me, couldn't sleep so I have dusted the downstairs, and cleaned two of the bathrooms, going to pop the slow cooker on in a mo, I found some unlabelled cubed meat lurking in the freezer, so its a casserole of some description tonight.

Pleased you enjoyed your holiday Horace and the dolphin watching, I would love my children to have the opportunity to see that. How lovely of the cabbie to drive you to the shop, human kindness at its best.

Numpty enjoy school, do you get awarded merit points for hard work and good behaviour:rotfl:, I get the hebe gebe's just going into work at the school for a few hours a day, I can never understand anyone who says they are the best days of your life, I wouldn't turn the clock back to school days for all the cadburys twirls in the world, ooh chocolate, is it too early for a bit of chocolate and a cup of tea, I think not!

Solventsoon, I remember reading Enablers thread, I really felt for him, I do hope he has taken some action by contacting someone regarding his debts, or maybe the inlaws did loan the money to them, which ever, I hope they are both ok, some harsh comments on that thread but I think most of them were meant with the best of intention.

Enjoy your day, and watch out for the trolls.

WASHER.x.

What is a Troll? A troll is a person that posts deliberately provocative, nasty or hurtful comments on threads. They may be a person with no previous connection to the board or someone that has created a pseudonym to get their point made.

If you should get a comment made on any thread you post asking for help and advice please realise this comment is not directed at you personally.
We really are all a lovely bunch here (oops, modest, sorry) so please ignore these nasty comments and continue to post here as normal.

what should i do if i get a comment made on my thread?

firstly do not respond to the comment as this invariably is what the person wants. At the bottom of the post, on the right hand side is a red "warning" triangle. Click this and then "send" the message that comes up. This will report the message to abuse who will review it's content and delete it.

The person we had this morning was particularly vile and nasty and please believe me is an extreme rarity here.
Above all PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE THE BOARDS. THIS SITE IS AN ASSET TO SO MANY, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT FEELS THE WORLD IS FALLING IN ON YOU. THERE IS SUCH A WEALTH OF ADVICE HERE TO BE HAD THAT THE COMMENTS OF ONE MUST NOT DETER YOU FROM AVAILING YOURSELF OF THE KNOWLEDGE HERE!!!!

It is testament to the work that martin has done and continues to do that so many people give their time knowledge and experience freely to others, without judgement, to lift people out of the depths of debt crisis

PLEASE DO NOT LET THE ACTIONS OF THE MINORITY RUIN THAT.


Kind wishes
