    Morning everyone (well 11am is just still morning!) No Tesco for me today. Trip to the dentist with eldest son for brace fitting, followed by a day of making things for the summer fair...100 rings made already (just need to make 100 boxes to put them in now!), plus 50 kits of friendship bracelets, instructions written and photocopied. Millions of teddies washed and now sitting on radiators all over the house (well I couldnt peg them up by the ears on the washing line could I?) Wrapping 400 lucky dip prizes if I have time too!

    Afternoon will be mainly making bags out of old jeans, ironing mums washing, visiting her in hospital, collecting kids, back to hospital and then some tea and a big tidy up!

    Cor blimey I dont know how I managed when I had a job as well!:rotfl:

    Lindos90 you're a star!! :T

    Good morning everyone

    Well my decision to only post moneysaving tips has not lasted long because this post has wound me right up again



    I didnt state an opinion on a specific poster. I made a general statement of fact about bootlegging being illegal

    The fact i womble doesnt make that statement any less true

    You can think what you like about my wombling activities and i can think what i like about bootlegging. !Just because i womble doesnt mean i cant have an opinion on something else

    I did suggest we agree to disagree but it seems some people want to deprive me of my right to voice an opinion just because they disagree with it and think i'm being self righteous at the same time. You are of course allowed to disagree with me just as i can with you. You can think wombling is illegal, you can think bootlegging is harmless -i dont care. !I do care when i'm called a hypocrite though because i dont think that i am (oh sorry, thats my opinion. I forgot i'm not allowed any)

    Its the hypocrisy accusation i'm trying to address



    You're half right. !I do think bootlegging is worse but i!dont think my opinion trumps anyone elses



    Realy? !So just to sum up, now i'm a hypocritical fraudulent drama queen acting like a baby am i? All because i have an opinion and stick to it? It sure feels like abuse to me

    I could see the point if i was wombling and then said wombling was wrong. That would be hypocritical but thats not what i'm doing

    I think everyone that had an opinion has had their say and I think it would be nice to start the new day fresh.

    SO good morning ! Its actually sunny here in Scotland. I have booked some train tickets to go see elderly aunt tomo from my redspotted train thing so tickets cost me £2 !!

    I will fill a bag as ever of all my bits and pieces that all the wonderful MSers graciously share with us all. She can't believe it and I often send her odd things in the post, with cheap wh smit stamps etc.She loved her rich tea mug and biscuit tin. Free again I told her !

    SO I know I will make a lovely supportive woman happy tomo who is still suffering from my wonderful uncle dying on xmas day past.

    SO have a wonderful day guys and gals. Happy brthday to anyone who is celebrating. Hugs to anyone who needs them or just would like one, we all like a cuddle. Special love to Mr and Mrs 3 dogs our constant inspiration.

    And a good glitch on tea or coffee would be great Im rather low !

    :D

    I don't think badly of your wombling activities. At all. I do it myself.

    You're just having a go at somebody for something you disagree with, which is fair enough, but then throwing a wobbly when someone disagrees with you. There's the hypocrisy. Nobody has said they want to deprive you of your right to express an opinion. You're the one having a go at what others are saying...

    What a waste of time and taxpayers' money. If only they spent as much effort going after the rich...

    They do, they have done recent campaigns on offshore bank accounts and undeclared landlords.

    Using taxpayers money to ensure taxes are paid is a waste of time? Thats an interesting opinion!!

    If i didnt give up my right to voice an opinion when i started wombling then i would have disagreed with you on this.
    If a tax costs a lot of money to enforce then it's an inefficient tax.

    If a tax disproportionally targets the poor then it's an immoral tax.

    Your entirely imagined persecution aside, what is it about that you disagree with?
