    FC hope you are ok. I did not see what was posted but from what I can see you are a very good person with lots to deal with and you do it admirably. How you spend your money is your business. Have a lovely week.
    Well I had a lovely week last week. After the frantic weekend with DD moving she and I went to a beauty evening at Harvey Nichols and I won a great big bottle of Juicy perfume. Then last Wednesday we went to London for the ALexander Wang for H&M pre event launch party in Regent St. Every year when H&M do a designer colloboration I buy from the collection ( usually all the collection ) and sell it on E-Bay. We tried to win tickets for the event but had to buy them from E-Bay. They had cocktails, canapes, a DJ and a smattering of celebs. It was such a bun fight DD deposited me in a corner and ran back and forth bringing me the clothes. Strangely they had no bags to put it in while you were shopping but I finally managed to persuade an assistant to get some. After about 30 mins we paid for it all and persuaded them to leave it all behind the till while we went back to the party.
    When we left they helped us carry it all to the taxi ( 11 bags) and I nearly got knocked over by the paparazzi taking pics of Jamies Winstone and her one bag!
    They did actually take a pic of us and it appeared on Daily Mail site next day. Here it is if you scroll towards bottom page the 2 ladies with bags are me and DD ( DREADFUL PIC OF ME)

    When we got to Paddington we managed to get an earlier train and the lovely ladies from Great Western escorted us to the train and upgraded us to First Class. So had frantic few days selling on Ebay but they imposed a 3 day return limit on it so what did not sell went back on Saturday. Still dd and I made enough to cover Xmas pressies. So hoping for a quieter week thsi week. Strange at home now as I am back on my own. Had a lovely weekend went on a 6 mile country walk yesterday to raise money for a friend who is running marathon for Leonard Cheshire homes. Have a good week alll.

    Off to jolly old work - the joy :(

    Me too - I'm feeling very disheartened regarding what happened.

  • Thank you Abailey, Enterprise and David. I just noticed I said 5pm, I meant 5am. I make silly mistakes when I'm stressed :o I should look for glitches to take my mind off things, that usually works, except I get carried away and nothing else gets done :D

    I'm hoping everyone will rise above it snap. Someone's causing mischief and we mustn't let them upset us.

    Bring on the glitches:j
