No worriesYou are an absolute legend! Thank you so much!
Do people actually cut up and send back their old driving licence to the DVLA or can I just destroy it myself? 🥲
I always “lose” things with my picture on close to expiry so I can replace and keep them to show my kids
The only time DVLA has chased up me to send my license back was when I was diagnosed epileptic. Then when I was deemed fit to drive again they just sent it back
A year or so ago I fell into the lumispa trap and bought one from a girl I went to school with. Ever since, she keeps WhatsApping me and messaging me via social media about upcoming “deals”. I said I had a lot on so couldn’t really afford one right now but she continues to message. I’ve just had a baby so I’m on mat leave and thought that would be the perfect excuse as income is lower. Nope, still messaged. So I said I’m saving for christmas. And now she’s messaged again saying it’s a really good deal she can even drop it off at my house for me. FFS! How do I say no?! I even thought about just buying one but honestly I don’t want to, it would just be to shut her up but that’s so wrong! What is wrong with these people.
I blocked someone I used to work with for this. Her messages were relentless. Even when I responded saying "sorry, I'm really not interested" she continued so I just blocked.
The likelihood is she copy and pastes the same message to loads of people, just leave it on read
Well I thought that but she said she knows I said I was saving for christmas but…
My mum always used to say “don’t argue with idiots, they’ll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience” honestly if you go back with excuses she’ll just try to reason a way around them, grey rock, don’t respond at all unless you’re interestedWell I thought that but she said she knows I said I was saving for christmas but…
I'd just block her, or if you don't want then like others have said just leave it on read an stop responding, it seems like she's never going take no for a answer so not responding should hopefully give her the hint, an if it doesn't then you are really best to block
I was really touched when an old friend found me on FB (our Mums were friends too), but then came the realisation that it was only to try and sell Forever Living. I'm far from skinny these days and am quite sensitive about it and she had the cheek to sign me up to some juice weight loss group she'd started. I was open mouthed for about 5 minutes, then posted on there that I was type 2 diabetic, the juice was pure sugar and I'd probably end up in hospital for trying to lose weight that way so I wasn't sure why she'd signed me up..... then blocked her. It's as awkward as duck as she now lives in the same village........!!
These people have the hides of rhinos. There is no way to be tactful or polite - blunt and direct is the only way.

Woah, some people are shameless! Anything to make a buck, ffs.
They're like vultures! It's absolutely disgusting they should be super ashamed.
I had a friend get involved in an MLM and we're not friends anymore. It really changed her as a person it was actually jarring.
Does anyone do virtual races? Thinking it might be fun to do an get me out, what sites do you use? I seen one on FB but I've lost the name of it an can't see it again
Posting here so I have to follow through with it...
I have been provisionally discussing a holiday with a friend in the new year. The trouble is, where they want to go and where I can afford to go right now are very different and I feel like I'm pressuring myself into booking something I can't really afford (they've suggested I just stick it on my credit card which I really don't want to do).
I've been dragging my feet a little and I think I need to just bite the bullet and say it was working out a lot more expensive than I initially thought and that I don't want to limit them. I have suggested a city break to somewhere in Europe but they only want hot sun somewhere far flung and I just can't afford that at such short notice, particularly with Christmas so close.
I've been in knots about it all week and was awake in the night thinking about it. It sounds silly, but I hate having to wick the balloon of someone else's enthusiasm.

I know exactly how you feel, it is nerve-racking. I think them suggesting to just "stick it on your credit card" (terrible advice) when you've raised issues with how expensive it is means they're not really thinking about you having a nice time. Their enthusiasm seems very self centred and you don't seem to be included in it.
Why don't you suggest that while a hot beach holiday sounds fab, you'd need longer to be able to get the funds together for it, so ask your friend if they're prepared to postpone. If they're not wanting to budge from the original idea of in the New year, explain that means your budget is limited to a city break. At least that way they know you're not saying absolutely not to a hot sunny beach holiday, but that it just isn't feasible for you quite yet.
If you friend gets upset and asks why did you agree to a holiday in the new year in the first place, just gently explain that it was a bit of a case of crossed wires where the both of you unwittingly and innocently had totally different ideas about what that holiday would entail. Explain you don't want to let them down so you just need to sit and find a workable comprise together.
I'm sure your friend will understand once it's all been explained, and they wouldn't want you to be worrying or feeling bad about it.
