I want to go home : (
I think I drank too much last night and I'm knackered. I also wish that when I moved into my house I'd bought a big squishy comfy sofa instead of the average small not very squishy sofa I have now.


What have you been regretting recently?

my friend's sister's boyfriend
is insistent that the NHS are paying him £5,000,000 compensation for killing his mother. there probably was some negligence, but the woman was 85 and had never worked, so her loss of earning potential was not going to be anywhere near £5M.

anyway, he has been sticking to the story that he is going to get £5M any day now, and they have been looking at multi-million pound houses in cheshire...... god knows what the homeowners think, it will be blatantly obvious he does not have a pot to piss in....

this has been going on for TWO YEARS.

it's a sad case really. the frustrating thing is why her sister falls for it - they live in a 1 bed council flat in stockport and neither of them work and i guess she just really wants to buy into the fantasy of looking round these beautiful 10 bed mansions.

it's a good job i've not met him though, i wouldn't be able to bite my lip and swallow when it came to all the legal stuff. the lies are so naive and transparent, it's actually more sad than embarrassing.
