    A NSD for me today, didn't have the energy to go out and face the crowds. Hope everyone is well.

    Yay!!! It's Friday afternoon and it's a long weekend :T

    Time to get the cocktail shaker out and do a bit of jigging!

    Note to Savvybuyer - I make my own ice cubes and don't buy them ;)

    Do you make your cubes with cooled boiled water or straight from the tap water? :cool:

    I think it's quite frightening that you can get 8 years based on hearsay.

    Granted you've got to trust the jury as they've heard all the evidence, but I thought I read he wasn't even in the country at the time one of the assaults took place.

    Are you getting confused with that corrie guy? I know that he was out of the country. When I read the news about that there were a lot of holes in the accuser's stories.

    I'm sure there a ways of telling the false and true apart, for example a style that is reported from different individuals who have never met each other being the same, a certain thing that is said, the documented damage of the victims following the crime etc.

    Unfortunately, a lot of people who experience this do not report it, or report it many years later, with no physical evidence. But this is a crime that literally ruins lives and they have to do their best to see that justice is served somehow :(

    I don't know all the facts so could not really pass judgement on this but agree with you on one thing.
    My husband was accused of something once and although there was absolutlely no evidence it went all the way to crown court and was advised to take it to trial so that he could not be dragged back at a later date.
    He was found not guilty but the cost in money and human suffering was extreme and all because someone told a lie and the cps wanted to justify the money they had spent. (before you jump to conclusions my husband was accused of firearms offences despite never having handled a gun):( :(

    Sorry you had to go through that. It must have been a really scary time :(

    I'm absolutely disgusted by people who get others falsely accused. In the case of abuse, it does nothing for the public perception of real victims who come forward, when not being believed is already a scary (and real!) prospect :(

    Sorry, I'll get off my soapbox now ;)

    OH came home and insisted that we had to go out even though we have everything we need for dinner anyway - I wasn't mad keen, nothing we really needed to go out for and such a tedious faff to do hair, make up, find shoes, drive through traffic, find parking place etc ...

    So anyway we go out, traffic backed up as 4 police cars are converging on the roadabout just outside town having stopped a car pulled up on pavement, searching the car and the driver on the side of the road :mad:

    We go to Asda, OH has left parking money in his car and all I have is a £1 coin :mad: so I leave him in the car to look out for the parking man.

    I go in and do my bit of shopping, several items missing and nothing is the price it was when I did the list :mad: so I give up and just get a few bits. I end up spending only £6 so not enough for free parking.

    Back at the car OH has had to get a parking ticket as the parking man is skulking about. So that negates any savings we have made. So as we now have an hours parking we decide we might as well go into town, I loathe and detest going into town but I've got to go to the Building Society anyway so that's where we head.

    Then youngest son rings for the 1st time in weeks so we end up in the building society just talking to him by which time we have to go back to the car as the hour is up.

    I've got a few recs to put into the machine later but doubtless they will be a crushing disappointment - wish I'd insisted on staying home now :mad:

    First month's interest already received on my new TSB account :T
    Many thanks for your help with this Karlie :beer:

    I remember reading about this about a month ago. I will have to read back and do something with my savings. I treated myself to a little half bottle of vodka for tonight. I am sitting in my Parker Knoll with my laptop on my knee. Bliss.
