    @Baileys_Babe I should probably admit that I still have a floordrobe but I accepted I always will and it's now behind doors as if it's a real wardrobe. I have a cupboard under the stairs in my bedroom, about 10% of my clothes are hanging up in it, the other 90% are on the floor of it and this is how I've made peace with myself 😂

    Much much calmer about the whole thing thank you.  I thought through all the conversations & realised that the only info I gave was the town we live in & that my surname was the same.  I really now do think that it was the ambulance service that was being messed with & someone was using me to do it.  Like the ambulances don't have enough to deal with.  I would like to know who did it though so that I can give them a piece of my mind.
