    I did but the time I pulled over safely both had disappeared. Think doggy was ok as he seemed to glance off the side rather than into it. But the noise was awful and it knocked me sick.

    Well thankfully you are ok. Could have been a lot nastier :( if it'd been in your sight, your natural reaction would have been to swerve. Have a drop of something for the shock and leave worrying about the repairs until tomorrow ;) :A

    Debt-free and Proud!
    I've just had someone block me on Twitter and defriend me on FB. Feeling a bit upset about it. Basically she's an old work colleague who invited me to what I thought was a NYE event she was going to with a few friends. She asked if I'd like to 'join' in early December. I said I'd maybe drop by but not until after 10ish. I sent her a message today to say I'd changed my mind and got three messages from her. She said she had already bought a ticket to the event (it was a tenner) but luckily she had been invited elsewhere so she wouldn't be a Billy no mates.

    I started to apologise and explain that I thought it was a loose arrangement. Sent a message or two. I was just about to send another and couldn't as she's blocked me across all social media. I'm staggered. We're both in our 30s and have been friendly for a few years. Don't really know how to react to this :(
    Debt free 6th December 2014 :)

    it's really simple Em....don't react to it. I don't do Twitter at all and only use FB to keep up with a few people and enter comps etc. but I've seen enough to know that de-friending people and blocking them is a very petty business indeed. I know I'm older and you youngsters live more of your lives on social media :o but it's still petty.
    If she was any sort of a friend, she'd have it out with you face to face or at least on the phone.

    I think social media has its place and it's uses, which are all good. It sadly also seems to magnify problems and disputes in a way that isn't possible in real life and for some reason brings the children out in people.

    Why does he make you think of AAU? :eek: what have I missed? If AAU looks like him please don't tell me :eek: it will ruin my Air Assault Unit fantasy ;) :rotfl::rotfl:
  • Sorry not caught up yet today.

    Just been playing around with the codes from my YOUBEAUTY advent calender and have a £10 off no minimum spend code for aromatherapy associates.
    I went on to by face oil but couldn't resist another order from their sale section.
    Definitely doesn't work if your order costs exactly £10.
    Code is obvious but I don't want to post on code board and put them out of business.

    Nice gift for next Xmas for £4 was £25 before sale and code. Only valid until tomorrow night.

    Right off to catch up.

    What is it about FB and the like that turns adults into school children again?
    That's really crap for you Emma :( but if that's her reaction then she's clearly not worth your time and effort. It wasn't like you had concrete plans set in stone and her reaction is way over the top, imho of course. I know it's not a nice feeling, but try not to let it get to you, it's not worth losing sleep over. Her loss, not yours. Chin up lovely :A

    Sounds like she'd been relying on you - perhaps no one else going and she chucked her dummy out when you changed your mind. Maybe other things going on too - someone she's interested in going to be there and now she can't "bump into them" or perhaps she's just down in general. Shame you didn't get a proper chance to explain things to her. Up to you whether you want to try to salvage things or just leave her to her own devices.
