Why do some people ....

look forward to Feb and March Saundra, when there's no council tax

That's when we get our first installemtn - and can only pay when they send the bill

Sorry Ria - have to agree - that e-mail saying to meet them later is best.

And Debih is right - cheeky mare

What a horrible problem, Ria! You go about living your own life and then something crops up in someone else's and you are all spent out.

I hate to say this, but there are times when we have to be quite hard and clear and say "Sorry, but no."

I love Feb and March too for that reason

Ria, that's so annoying and I can only agree with what others have suggested.

I had someone rope me in for something while I was waiting for a bus in town this morning. There I was minding my own business (actually, I was texting back and forwards with John about Tom) when a woman in an shop overall came into the stop with another lady. I didn't take much notice until the bus came in and I heard her say "this lady will take care of you now" and I realised that she was talking to me, I looked and she said to me "she feels a bit sick".Eeeeeeeeurgh! I don't deal well with sick

I told her to get on the bus in front of me, I made sure she was seated and thankfully I had to get off 5 minutes later
