    thank you xxx

    The worst thing is that she has been a friend for ages and she has been well, self absorbed and I have (and other friends have) tolerated it and I have never said a word about how hurtful she has been in the past cos I don't want to upset her - we were going to tackle it but then she got pregnant and so we left it and I just was happy(ish) to see her less and let it go, but today she (after I went, cooked her lunch, bought her birthday cake, cleaned up, gave her presents, ) had this huge go at me about how she only has seen me a few times this year and how she tried to organise stuff but I could never meet her (er no two jobs, mum, my other friends who haven't dropped me gee I don't know!!!!)

    It has completely hurt me. I have no idea why I bothered.

    xx

    I have a friend like that Lou who gets the real hump with me if I don't speak to her very often, but I am such a crap friend.....I think true friends are those who can just pick up where you last left off from a conversation. I like to think I know you a little and feel that if the chips were down and your friend asked for help you would be there for her. Thats a true friend...not one who emails you or phones you every week out of some sense of duty....

    *goes to ring Bunny cos Sammy feels like a crap friend now*

    It's all roundabouts Sammy, and they all look exactly the same. From showing Bun the pics of where we'd been while we were lost, we apparently saw most of the area :rotfl:

    Such a shame you couldnt make it today. We'll have to come down again soon :D

    Yes you must, when you couldn;t make it last week I thought great! Monday is a better day for me but then I am off to my ma's tomorrow and I ended up with loads to do today (and a bloody flat tyre)!!!:cool:

    cheers Sammy!(they probably get names right too:rotfl::rotfl:)

    edited to add - my best friend in the whole world - I see her twice a year and we speak when we remember to ring!! xxx
    Nevertheless she persisted.

    Oh and I also had to coach Natalie through an online AAT exam...she is sitting the last one in the foundation module tomorrow and if she fails it she can't do the intermediate in September so fingers crossed.....

    She is having a slight meltdown!

    Bunny starting college in September....why on earth does this remind me of a scene from Grease!

    Is being cool not good! <insert confused smiley>

    I can't moan on facebook now! Bloody OH decided to join in...although I did laugh at Eastenders tonight. Ian Beale joined a social network and didn't have any friends so just asked his kids friends to be his friends....he is even looking at getting the facebook app on his mobile....:eek:

    This is what OH did...cept all my friends asked him to be their friend.....

    :rotfl:I was just letting people know which friend it is that is my temporary boss.

    I have already been asked to do make a decision on something totally out of my responsibility which I am worrying about but have decided that in the morning I will inform her that I am not in a position to make that decision and as my immediate line manager is on holiday until next week she is going to have to sort it out herself.

    Its sods law that I would decide one thing and my line manager would come back and have a fit!
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    I'm not really surprised about EMA going, the bonuses disappearing was the beginning of it. Bit unfair for those that rely on it for bus fair etc though

    Im not surprised either TBH.
    The bonus's were over the top anyway I thought.

    And on those who are halfway through A levels relying on it who suddenly find out they're going to lose it. They should have at least kept it for them.

    I suppose the writing was on the wall.
    But agree to a point.
