    Ooohhhhh I like a good wedding 😂😂😂 Bet you gave him short shift…..some people would definitely fall for it. I play an online word game and the amount of males usually from USA that tried to befriend on there got ridiculous. Think they’ve done something about it though as it doesn’t seem to happen anymore….or maybe they’re praying on somebody else since they never got anywhere with me 😂😂😂
    Bet the mall was heaving as it’s still school holidays here and it’s somewhere to go as the weather has been bobbins.

    The weather is dry today so have met another friend at the watery shopping centre for a coffee. 
    I have got a bargain for my DD two sports bras had £20 in the ticket at the till they were £4.99 for both no return . 
    As part of her new life she has taken up exercise for the first time since she left school. I said I would sort her some proper running gear out . She is a size 10 but says she is unfit . Every time I see her now she is happy long may it last  
    Starting to think about summer holidays Malta is first choice but looking expensive. Menorca  2nd choice looking a better price .

  • A beautiful day today, after doing my housework I toddled off to walk to the local marina. A lovely walk was had , met old neighbours on the way round so we stopped for coffee for a good catch up, they paid . 
    Been to call to see parents to drop an EBay buy, taken DGD to a birthday party . Back home now to watch something I think, and later a shopping list for tomorrow for Aldi . 
    Hope the sun has found everyone.

    I've signed the online petition to have the CBE removed from that woman in charge.  The count is currently nearly 700,000 signatures. 

    The petition started a couple of years ago but has really taken off in the last few days - I think the TV programme has helped enormously to bring it to people's attention. 

    They now need to prosecute the correct people - not only her, but all the others - lawyers etc involved who definitely knew that wrong-doing was going on and denied it and lied.

    I’ve not watched the program but agree it was absolutely dire what happened. I hope those involved are brought to justice.

    A local postmaster was involved in it - I’ve no idea if she was cleared.  I just got more and more angry at the telly !
