Today, I've cleaned the house, done my washing, gone shopping in the town, had a barber attack me with a naked flame*, gone to the library, and even actually done some work.
* We have two types here. If you go into one town you get a hairdresser who sheers you like a sheep, then nicks £15 out of your wallet. If you go into another town you get a barber, and he uses the sheers but also uses a cut throat razor, a weird razor tool that looks like a mad dentist chose to avoid for health and safety reasons, and naked flame to singe off random hair. It's cheaper. It's £10, produces a better haircut, and makes you feel like you could end up in hospital any minute.PasturesNew wrote: »Kirstie's .
Yeah, well, I think she does that on purpose. It's to make you feel confident that you can do a better job than her. She's just an 'ordinary person' and all that (**((£.“The ideas of debtor and creditor as to what constitutes a good time never coincide.”

It'a certainly something I excel at.
I have to work hard enough to keep my own show on the road (or at least somewhere close to the road). Let alone anyone else's.0 -

Honestly... it's really odd. For men it's the non-posh places that seem to put so much more effort into the actual haircut.“The ideas of debtor and creditor as to what constitutes a good time never coincide.”

Exactly.
Please don't feel guilt or strain over this.
Its horrid and silly of them not to have sorted it out, and kind of you to make effort to call the university tomorrow.
You are a good, nice person. You have your own canoe to paddle and that's hard enough at times. Now, please don't worry about it sweets. Your plan is more than many would do . 0 -

The only thing you did wrong was opening the letters. That's illegal. Not that in practice anyone is going to do anything about it, so don't worry.

Anything more than that is NOT your responsibility.“The ideas of debtor and creditor as to what constitutes a good time never coincide.”

We need NDG or yorkie or someone like that.
I'm not actually sure it is illegal. I think it is if you do not have something like 'reasonable cause' or do it 'to cause harm' or something.
I'm not going to try looking it up though!0 -
