    Thats very true, do you think that would apply to the purchase of a new pair of shoes as well ?!! :rotfl:

    Everytime I wore them I would remember how they had trampled all over us and then I waged war against them and won !!

    Now I'm getting carried away !

    I think one pair of shoes is very much in order. Now I am wishing I bought myself some.

    THE DAMN SQUIRREL IS BACK !!!! :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

    Oh dear, but the story about him running back and forth the guttering peering over the side nearly had me running for the tenor ladies

    Well you lot arent any good are you, but just as bad as me !!! :rotfl:

    I was a very good Granny today and worked all day. Don't know how I managed to stay out of MSE DFDs mind you and as you can see I'm here now. :A :D
    He did consider taking the mankini with him when he went away, and the bike of course, but thankfully he changed his mind , he may have frightened the locals !! :eek:

    He'd have frightened them more if he'd taken it without his bike I'm sure :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: smiley-vault-misc-121.gif
    OMG OMG OMG :j:j:j:j:j:j

    The Postie has just been. I am soooooo excited and have just finished leaping around the kitchen and screaming like a wild banshee because it made my back hurt, but right now I really dont give a damn !!! :rotfl:

    My claim for PPI with MBNA has been upheld !!! Whoop Whoop !!!

    I requested £410 I think, I really cant be bothered to look. They have refunded me £3099.95 !!!

    OMG, I cant explain my excitment, if I could ring you all up or kiss you all now I would if I could !! I think you get the gist (jist?)

    I havent technically got the money yet but I will have in 28 days !!!:D

    Sorry for the totally mad hyper post, but its been such a cruddy few weeks, and I was still smiling but now I am leaping as well !!! :j:j:j:j:j

    OMG times a million, I'm so pleased for you. Gotta love the postie sometimes x post.gif

    I reckon perfume and shoes are in order after the frightful time you've had lately, oh and a lottery ticket

    WOW. WOW. Amaze balls. Fab. Totally understand you wanting to snog your postie.

    Can I ask on here how easy you guys found it, I'm sure we paid PPi on a loan a few years Go, but I have zero paperwork, I just know it was northern rock and loan was for £1030. Can I go anywhere with it??

    Yep definitely worth a try I would think Belle, but it does very much depend on your situation when you were sold it. I will PM you as soon as I get a chance. x
