Or maybe Band Aid? Seems slightly apt for the thread subject

I loved Supergran too! Listening to the theme tune brought back lots of memories Grin though suddenly she doesn't look as old as I remember her which is worrying

juggling I think it's one thing to have a whinge if times are difficult.

I actually think though that talking about money (or lack thereof) is crass. And giving out your bank account for anonymous strangers to give you money even more so.

I wonder how many of the people who accept cash donations like that would go and do the whole "could you spare some change" thing on a street corner or a railway station. Because it is IMO no different.

I do not think so. I just think it's your personality.

I like the dialect though- gives me an excuse to use words like 'sweetie wifey'. I miss living up there sometimes.

Just wanted to say that generally many posters may want to share when things are difficult for whatever reason. When this includes a financial aspect, as it often can in life, it would be very sad if posters didn't feel able to share with others how things really were in their life.

Most posters will find that just sharing the burden is what lifts it a little. Other times, like when a thread is started to organise a blanket, it can be lovely when something tangible is offered too.

angel1976 · 21/12/2011 22:30

Well, in my 'surprise' ocado delivery today (courtesy of DH as he is in charge of Xmas dinner this year), there was a bottle of gin and a bottle of baileys. Take your pick! And we also have beer, bottles of wine, not to mention a whole case of wine with our estate agents (don't ask!). And the funny thing is DH and I don't drink at home and I don't drink full-stop. His work sends him a case of wine every year and I spend the rest of the year giving it away... Xmas Grin

LEttletownofBOFlehem · 21/12/2011 22:30

There are a few posters that I can tell are pissed when they get all belligerent and repetitive late at night. But to be fair to you, scottishmummy, it doesn't have to be late, and it's probably just the way you write.

AwayinaKayzr · 21/12/2011 22:29

I like SMs posts. I don't know if she's drunk but I like the way they seem to be written in a Scottish accent.

This is where she tells me she's not actually Scottish isn't it Grin

OnTheTopOfTheWorld · 21/12/2011 22:29

The Hi Di Hi Barry Howard thread had me crying with laughter. What a twat he must be!

scottishmummy · 21/12/2011 22:28

don't recall her name but do love the inevitability of it all
the expectant frission
then the "is you drunk"
