    I'de plant a orchard and have lots of cherry trees and then a hedge and hide a caravan to escape to, I like the idea of owning a piece of land, not a house but land :). I'm glad i'm not the only one you say this to people and get the look of I dont understand you :rotfl:

    i so agree with the funny look we brought our first field while living in a council house. all spare money went into the fund ( we dont drink, holiday or eat out ) and we brought a little caravan and parked under the trees it was bliss but no one understood they kept saying why dont you keep the money for a house eventually we got our bungalow but buying our first field was more exciting than anything.

    ooooooh have you seen the cherries, it looks like it is going to be a bumper crop this year, scrummy.

    If I living on it, I would have lots of fruit trees and I would love a sweet chestnut!

    Dear TrulyMadly,

    We have investigated your recent order and unfortunately we have had to cancel it. You will need to lose at least a stone if you are ever to fit into those size 10 pink yoga pants. Putting it simply. Your bum is too big. Sorry.

    Sometimes it's not about the performance.

    It's history, pedigree, heritage and much more.

    And no I'm not talking about dogs.

    Expensive cars but for different reasons.

    But would they ;)
    I honestly have no problem with people paying gazillions for cars its their cash, I just can not see how they are worth it ;)

    I think you need to submit your team, you are still not getting any points.
    Oh, and Mildred, I must have posted that league table before all the points had been added, never mind though, no need for an update when it is just such a little mistake ;)

    You are forgiven :kisses3:
