    my dd2 did her first whoopsie run, turned up with a big carrier bag full on her way home for us total spend just over a pound and another one for her. her friend who took her was so impressed and dd2 was so chuffed. she was so gratefull for the box and was crying, as she can give something to her sister and best friend who have helped her so much and others,,i told her it was down to the elite and she asked if i could thank each and every one for all you do as you can not image how all the food etc and now pressies have helped her through this awful time she is very grateful its hard to explain how much of a difference the elite makes to peoples lifes
    For me, it goes both ways, in that the collective power of the Elite (of which I am an insignificant part) can make a difference in the lives of those people who deserve it.:T:j:T

    Just had a text from one of my daughters asking if I think she stinks!!! I've given my kids loads of stuff from bodyshop, boots, A's, T's and other places over the last year. I wrapped up a load of stuff from the M&S glitch for her and obviously she has opened it. :mad: Apparently, she's fed up with pampering stuff!! Ungrateful cow. :mad:

    Aww scamps, is it maybe just a joke? Ive made similar jokes myself when receiving large amounts of smellies in the past.....but I was joking.

    Why are they opening the pressies now though? :eek:

    Erm but what's that black thing at the top of the bed?????? :eek::rotfl:

    I'm so glad you asked, I was wondering that :rotfl:

    it was a thank you pressie as
    early today i gave her a box full of glitchy items bodyshop/ achica biscuits and sweets cola from all the recent glitches as she can not afford presents for people as since being left homeless / single and pregnant she has a lot of money problems, without food her bills have been over £100 more than her income each month:eek: and she will not sign on like everyone tells her to as she wonts to go back to work.. tax credits now baby born will help

    she was so gratefull for the box and was crying, as she can give something to her sister and best friend who have helped her so much and others,, i told her it was down to the elite and she asked if i could thank each and every one for all you do as you can not image how all the food etc and now pressies have helped her through this awful time :A she is very grateful
    its hard to explain how much of a difference the elite makes to peoples lifes :A:A:A:A:A:A:A

    What a lovely daughter you have RHOS.

    Don't mean to pry but has she approached the local authority re: being homeless (if she still is?) and if she is struggling financially, she will definitely be able to get some kind of help.

    Dunno, she said in the text that she would like some 'real' presents!!!
    I think it's 'cos I give her stuff all year round, this pressie doesn't count. :( Maybe, I'll stop giving out my stash an glitches next year, any just pile it all on them next xmas. :rotfl:
