    Wall paper down the loo ? :confused:
    Yes flowery ones torn into strips:confused: I couldn't understand it either. It filled up two black bin bags which i put on their doorstep:D They couldn't escape it because we could see where they had been stripping it -the bunch of numpties.They did have the grace to apologise and said they were drunk whilst doing it and thought it would be a good idea and paid for a take away for us.

    Ever wonder about those people who spend £2 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backward.

    Well, assuming you live in the barsham that is just across the norfolk/suffolk border.........I have run across those hills between beccles and bungay many a time!

    Of course if there is a different barsham in suffolk, then I will be feeling rather daft right now :o

    So desperate for a meal out, as I was broke and hadn't eaten well for weeks. I phoned an old boyfriend that I wasn't that keen on. :o Told him we could go out for a meal to talk.:rolleyes: Got really drunk too, but didn't managed to escape the dreaded snog!:eek: He was not a nice man thats why I dumped him in the first place so the guilt soon wore off. Revenge can be sooooo sweet!;)
