    It's the monkeys birthday in a couple of weeks one would like a kitten or a rabbit, the other a puppy! So I've decided to get them..... A bike each;)

    Just need to find a way of actually hiding them:)

    That reminded me of when mine were younger and we bought bikes for Christmas one year...we happened to be out when they were delivered so our neighbour accepted the delivery....bless them they then stored them for 3 weeks until we need them once we explained what the packages were.

    You are the selfish one here - do you seriously think anyone wants to hear that - here - now?

    It takes an amazing amount of courage to take your own life.

    I have been there where PM was only(thankfully now) I was a coward I couldn't do it.

    So I would suggest to anybody reading this if you haven't been there personally don't make stupid ignorant comments cos I am and others will be devastated by your careless words

    I am in a shop


    I don't think any harm was meant by the original post. I Believe it's not selfish, your not a coward for not following any act through perhaps it does take courage.
    But for whatever reason most that do take the own life don't leave a note explains the reasons why, which makes those that are left behind ask the question why? And you may never know that reason.
    Also asking for help for depression or personal problems must take a lot, no one should ever feel alone but it does happen. X

    Oh, and on M's, just the replenish comes back at £1 not 87p!!

    Not looking good:(. I bought Feel Uplifted, and I think I shall feel sad and not uplifted in any way at all:mad:. However, this is new site so we never know but, as far as I know, they don't have Feel Uplifted handwash in M so it's no points to me:(. Not that I've paid much notice to what M stocked there - I should have kept up-to-date with this thread far more, yet, with RL, it's just not possible to do that so we have to make best do. We never know if this handwash will compare, but it doesn't look good. They really ought to stop A from stocking items that aren't stocked at the competitor:rotfl:.

    Hey All,

    I think it was Savvy who said she never knows when is the right time to comment in the midst of these moments. I again am in one of the moments, where my predicament seems laughable considering others lives right now. However, that said... I want to try and lighten the mood so here goes.

    Considering OH and I have both decided to quit work on the same day with the aim of growing our business now has to be the worst time to find those bargain flights to Florida for the beginning of June.

    Since the flights first came around in April at £199 I think it was, I've been too-ing and frowning with the idea of going. Our schedule from July onwards is chaotic with the business and means were going to be unlikely to go away again until February time.

    Before you go oh poor you in a sarcastic tone. I work ridiculously hard, 12 hour days, 7 days a week. If you own a business you'll understand it's very hard to switch off, you've always got to be thinking, on the ball etc. So going away for us is a time to switch off.

    So I've managed to get the flights for £250 (we're taking hand luggage), the tickets to the parks for £300 and looks like a half decent hotel with a shuttle to the parts for £300.

    Our ESTA is still in date from NYC in January, and we can eat at the diners etc relatively cheaply. So for 2 weeks, were looking at around £1,100 each all in.

    Do I bite the bullet?

    My other half is going crazy with me, I'm such an indecisive person and the smallest decision can be a real tough one, so this rather big decision that seems very irresponsible given we've just quit work is a very hard one to go ahead and do.

    Go for it! You only live once. Go on!

    Appreciated however I am only able to see black or white and not the vast spectrum inbetween it makes everything simple xxx

    I am still in a shop
    We are many we are one xxx

    So that every single post that I contribute to this thread is on topic I would just like to say I am an elite 11+ member and I hear the unjust silence of my opinions whilst I am shopping in supermarkets mainly. Just sayin.
