    oh !!!!!!.

    Just got grief off one of my school friends on fb for not telling her and the rest of my friends still in Toronto about our friend passing away.

    THEY still live in Toronto, I dont.

    Anyhoo...

    So how did they find out?

    Thanks Bunny - I felt so guilty as I kept typing the cost of my shopping into the scanner. The vouchers made such a difference, £30 doesn't sound too bad.

    I asked for a link about the funeral to be put on our public school page on fb.

    My crazy nutty cousin (who stalks me) was sent the link and emailed via fb all our friends from school. But apparently I should have told them all directly. Ho hum

    Bunny - re Toronto friends, sounds like displaced guilt on their part.

    Re shopping - I guess I just don't want to go crazy (DH persuaded me to replace our PC monitor today too :o) as I want to keep to the DFW mentality so we stay debt free and can OP the mortgage, to get that debt moving down faster (we are still early into our mortgage so are clearing very little capital). I was in the shop buying the monitor wishing it was a mortgage OP instead :o

    See - you were letting people know. Did they want hand written letters or something?

    Elfen - Hope you're ok.

    Buns - Some people are never happy, why should it be down to you to tell people!
