    Omo - I'm speechless cheeky mary. Can I ask would she have treated you like this before and your eyes are now open or is this new. People fascinate me. Especially when they perceive themselves as moving up socially. Do they truly not realise how horrid they are. I'm still on the bottom rung and doing fine!!

    No she wouldn't have, because I always had more than her. That was only because she used to go out every Friday and spend £30 and I would save my money or buy something nice. It's only since she has had a new partner and more spare cash.
    We really laughed about today at work. It made me feel better. I work with a lady from South Africa, and you should have heard her. She is going to give me some bits to sell to add to the fund. I am to have a Magnificent Caravan !!! :rotfl:

    Well I had a massive barny with some prat on FB today. He called me a b**** which was not the right thing to do. I left the argument at around 3 and it had over 100 comments. I think it is still going. I am ignoring my notifications, but I have over 300 emails to delete. It seems he has upset a lot of people and they just needed someone to make the first move. Which obviously I did.
    He owes a second hand pram shop in town and has not helped his business one jot today.

    Collected another £20 today and have more to be collected tomorrow. So I AM going to get my Magnificent Caravan, just watch this space :rotfl:

    if you do a general search there are lots on there at the moment they also do a cute hooded one with the reindeer on too.

    MrsI maybe its a little bit of overload you've been mega busy lately sometimes you need a little down time

    nanamia fantastic news on dgn

    Omo :eek: at your ex friend and you facebook issues people really make you wonder sometimes. cv pot is coming along very quickly you'll have your magnificent caravan in no time

    freespirit we have loads of buildabears (birthday tradition)but they are expensive so usually wait for a discount/offer but didnt want to miss out this time glad I ordered it when I did as hes not even on there anymore at the moment.
    this year do something that scares you for courage is not the absence of fear just the knowledge that some things are worth the risk

I still feel a bit weak now.

    Nanamia sounds like the garden is coming together nicely but now its time to relax enjoy your holiday tc

    freespirit not sure whats going on did wonder if he wasn't meant to be on sale yet( leaflet says june 13th) so they have taken him back off? I know they the limited edition one do sometimes sell out quick but usually would just go to oos. hopefully he will reappear with the new film out in july hes going to be very popular. hope your feeling better btw tc

    Hello all!

    Hope you are all well.

    omo I know your caravan will be just amazing and you deserve it!

    Not much to add , quite tired and having another bad evening with my head! Got an appointment with a neurology nurse next week , I think it is to do with the epilepsy , hoping they will try reducing the medication for it.

    My arms are resting on the corners of my laptop and I keep feeling like little shocks. Hope my laptop isn't about to die.. Or kill me for that matter.
