    Sad pathetic little visitors like that don't bother me any more sheils. I spent 18months putting up with personal attacks from an ex so someone who is unknown and hiding behind a computer screen is irrelevant!

    I don't care if people don't like where I live. That's their choice. As for the wedding well I am on moneysavingexpert... If i wasn't trying to save myself some money it would be a bit pointless to be here :D

    Like you sheils I found it amusing that we got called professional compers. I couldn't be further from a pro :rotfl:

    Well done Becks! I thought it was funny being criticised for saving money on MSE too. I had a PM from someone hoping it didn't put you off posting about your wedding as she was enjoying hearing about it.
    Anyway must get on - got as far as getting our case out for Monday. Just realised we will need to take some fancier clothes to wear for dinner in the hotel - so used to just staying in Premier Inns etc. Must go and enter the Times comp - thanks for heads up SueMaggie.

    Morning everyone :)

    Sheils, I wish I had your 'boring' lifestyle :rotfl: you are always a busy bee travelling here and there! God help what they thought of my lifestyle then! I'm sure they'll let me know soon! :D

    Becks, we are all excited for you in here for your wedding and looking forward to the pics. You take some brill photos. I agree with daphne and weeowens, I think it must be someone hiding behind a compers name.

    Gonna wait for postie first (I know Deborah....I'm sad too) then off to shops and see mother goose. Not seen her all week!
    Big thanks to all who contribute to the forums. Be lucky everyone and be safe!

    Afternoon all, just back from a haircut, unfortunately my DD had her highlights done and as she had to drive I had a lot of waiting around.

    Well done Matroyshka, that was a timely win.

    I saw the posts last night as they were put on but refrained from commenting, I can't believe that even though a lot of us seem to have reported the post in here it was still here this morning. Poor LizD was targeted as well.

    Don't stop posting about your wedding Becks, I for one love hearing about it.

    Hi everyone

    Haven't been around for a while as I was unwell and didn't feel up to posting, and more recently my mother-in-law was diagnosed with advanced colorectal cancer so have been occupied elsewhere.

    I've been keeping an eye on you though, so I know what you've all been up to!

    I haven't had much time for comping recently but despite this have received a grand total of 89 books in 2012, either wins, or books to review. I'm aiming for the 100 by the end of June.

    I've also had a couple of DVDs over the past couple of months and some small bits and pieces like pens and fridge magnets. Still waiting for a big win in 2012.

    Hope you're having a sunny day wherever you are - it's the best weather we've had here for over a week so am off out for a walk shortly.
