    So even that is someone else's fault? There was a letter emailed to us which read along the lines of "the dog ate my homework" except it was several dogs in many different places - all over the UK, if I recall.

    You can leave reviews of companies all over the internet, but you can't leave reviews of a client, unfortunately, or we'd happily leave one for you :)

    Aw, thanks!

    It gets tough at times on site.....but at least I know that you know that we pay!!!:rotfl:

    Do you need a 4-seater? Otherwise, I'd say try a Mazda MX-5. Very simple cars (as modern cars go), very reliable, and lots of fun. I'd go for the soft-top myself. The metal roofs are not really worth the hassle, and they take up most of the boot with the roof down. The soft-top is manual, so much less to go wrong.

    I think I might have driven one of those. A green one. It was nice. My friends, she was puddled and picked someone up and had to sit on his lap all the way back to her flat, and I had to leave my car near Guards or somewhere in order to drive her home, because they had both had far too much to drink, which meant I had to get back out to my car ......(they did invite me to stay but he wasn't my type at all... And I wanted my car, and to get back to the ones who were my types......)

    I really remember the hassle of my car and hoping i could get it and get back to it far for than driving that car.

    My nieces and nephews set up a Facebook page for their dog. Then the dog 'friended' me. Then the dog died. So, now, I'm friends with a dead dog.

    Wonderful thing, Facebook.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    That's so sad.

    What happens to facebook pages when people die...they just linger.....receiving friend requests....

    Do they a message saying this person hasn't updated for 5 yrs or something?

    Horrid.....

    Ok - sorry about this, new phone and internet is with talk talk - 159 for the year for both less 60 topcashback = 99.

    Then I saw on MSE that I could have followed a different link and got £70 love to shop vouchers so I phoned talk talk and said could I cancel the application and reapply through the love2shop link. They said don't worry we will apply a £70 account credit instead so...1 year phone free evening and weekend calls and unlimited internet for...£29. Beat that Martin.

    I do have a wonderful family and amazing internet friends...but my job s*cks and we can't afford any holidays beyond a week in Devon with the parents.
    I think....

    But you had the choice in some of that. ;). I think part of PN's gripe is that she has ended up single rather than necessarily choosing single so hasn't been able to say, actually, I'll save some dough and not have kids.


    Although I don't necessarily agree with that pov I can see it. :).



    Re holidays, one of the friends who came this weekend was talking about uk and close europe camping holidays and ...it actually sounded quite fun. I mean, anywhere would be fun with that person, but they really, really loved the whole thing.

    My head was swelling in to the back of my neck this evening and my back was giving me problems and I just thought I'd tryi and ease out my lower back on the arm of the sofa (kill or cure home osteopathy.......) it didn't do much for my lower back at all...but I ruddy well reduced the brain swelling, the full ness at the back of my head and neck is almost all gone instant ly. .....how brilliant is that!!!!!


    I'm going to sack the neurologist. I could have been throwing myself at a sofa all this time......
