I thought you were talking about T's at first there, then it dawned on me you meant A's. I've only been twice and it's been incredibly busy, as in there was 17 people in the queue for the SS tills and yes I counted them! There's only just enough space at the tills to get your trolly in, the aisles are far to narrow, I could go on...
I have to say I really think they've made a complete hash of it though. It's just too small. I can't believe they didn't realise how popular and busy it was going to be. T's has dominated the area for so many years, the demand for A's was huge. It's like they've been granted the planning permission and just flung it up. Especially if you compare it to the one in Elgin, it's a big store on 2 floors, surely the 'capital' of the Highland should have something at least the same if not bigger?

Anyways, I'll stop there :rotfl:

Did you get to the Community Fare at T's. I took DD this morning for a quick look around, she got a shot on the wee ride thingy and a flower balloon and I got a free burger :cool: Then it started pouring so we ran for the car!

Hi, it started raining when we were arriving there so we drove past Tescos, intending to go back, but didnt get around to it. Glad your DD got a couple of things, I think the timing was out for this fair, DH said it was much much bigger last year with loads of freebies, but with the new Asda opening it was clear that thats where everyone would be heading.
Yes our local (Elgin) is bigger and better for sure, but you do have the opticians which is great, I have been travelling to Abdn Bridge of Dee store for my specs, it will be much easier to come to Inverness.

Tbh, it done her a favour, who would want friends like that, u just dot need them do ya? She was never a friend! Just a !!...!!!..!!

All the wombles (22 of them) from yesterday have all come back with varying results, nothing spectacular, but the targeted shop I did buying 2 of the chickens are still saying processing........... :mad:

Why am I getting a really bad feeling about this...

I sympathise. My DD is 26 and recently went on holiday with a girl she thought was a friend. She lent one of her friends tops on holiday and wore it with shorts. She is a size 10-12 and even though I say so myself is a lovely looking girl. Later that night she overheard her so called friend on the phone to her sister saying that my DD had stretched her top and did she not realise how big her thighs looked. She even said she though DD has body dysmorphia as she thinks she is slim. Now this girl knows my DD suffered badly from aneroxia for 2 years and was really thin and ill.
My DD nevers weighs herself now and is happy with her shape. DD said it ruined the last 3 days of the holiday and she has not spoken to the girl since they got back. However she went out last night and was told this girl is going around spreading nasty rumours about her. Similar thing to the op's post in that this girls parents have a business and she is spoilt rotten. I also have been warning my DD about this girl for a while.
Aren't girls nasty.

Yes girls can be very nasty indeed - we are there to provide a safe haven for our children so that when the general public hurt their feelings we are the there for them. I am extremely cynical I know - I have a daughter who is so thick skinned (does not rely on anyone and can see the nasties coming) because she has been hurt so many times. She buries herself in studying and sport which the nasties hate and rises above them. It is a shame that some have to form this thick skin to survive but that is real life.
