    What on earth's wrong with people rose:mad::mad:

    I know I am really upset. As if I don't have enough to deal with. Our neighbour is a builder and has a skip outside his house and he said it happened to him once and he found the address in the rubbish and took it and dumped it outside their house!

    Can I ask you all a favour?

    Can you please think back to how old you were when you FIRST started walking to school on your own. How far it was and whether it was rural or in a built up area.

    Much appreciated:)

    Pretty sure I was about 7, but I was seen across the only main road, it was about half a mile and a small village, everyone knew everyone else.

    Hi Tm, I was 4, going on 5, mam took me the first day and after that I was on my own, had to walk about a quater of a mile to meet up with others going to the same school.
    The area was semi rural, but there were houses along most of the route.
    Once in a blue moon I was given a threepenny bit to get the 'scholars' bus.

    It's times like this that you long for cctv. People have a neck for anything don't they.

    I don't suppose the insurance company will fork out for another one will they?

    Thank you ladies for replying. I think I was only 6ish and walked with friends for about a mile through a quietish village.

    Just spoke to the man whose company are organising the drying and he was as mad as me. He said if we find out whose it is he will hire a van and take it away. he said technically the skip belongs to the insurance company and he will call his boss about it tommorow.

    Aww but which are you specially pleased with :D ? xx
    Cherish those you have in your life because you never know when they won't be there anymore.

    No matter how you feel, get up, dress up & never give up.
