It started as a bit of a laugh!!!!

I had a bit of a scare last night.

Well to be exact, Me and Laura had a bit of a scare.

What started out as a bit of a laugh, turned into something a bit more sinister.

In the light of a new day I still feel a bit nervy.

It has made me realize that having my personal details out in full view on the net, can make you a bit vulnerable.

So can using my name as my user name.

Maybe I should change a few things.

 

It all started last night about 6.30pm.

I had a text message on my mobile.

"Hi babe, I've got a new number."

I don't have anyone to call me babe, so I knew it was a wrong number.

I told Laura to text him back and tell him so.

We made a big mistake.!!!!

Thought we'd have a bit of a laugh.

"That's very interesting, but who are you??"  we put.

He came back with "Guess sexy"

I know, I know.!!  We should have stopped then.  We didn't.

We carried on for an hour.

We did at one point think it might be one of my lads having a bit of a joke.

Me and Laura were in hysterics, at one point.

This person said he was going to have a shower.  We asked him if he was playing with his rubber duckie.

I cringe now at some of the stuff we said.

Then he rang.

Oh God!  He actually rang.  More than once.

Laura answered.  She put on this foreign sounding voice. I was laughing in the background.  Laura said he was not.!!!  He sounded serious.!!!!

What were we thinking.  Playing a dangerous game with a complete stranger.

How old am I again!!!!

I asked him where did he get my number from.

He said he already knew it.  WTH.!!!

Was it someone I knew.????  Had I given someone my number.????

The last time he rang and started heavy breathing down the phone, we stopped it dead.  No more texting.  No more phoning.  How stupid were we.???

 

Suddenly an E-mail came through asking about one of our caravan's.

Too much of a coincidence.  We think so.

We advertise our caravans on a couple of websites.  My contact details are on there.

I think that's where he had my number from.

The way it was written, a mixture of capital letters and baby letters.  We knew it was him.

We had a name and a profile, although no details.

I did reply and gave him the prices and everything, just in case it was genuine.  Didn't want to be rude to a possible guest.  I signed it in Keith's name.  He couldn't reply then.

Everything has been quiet since.

Nothing this morning. No E-mails. Just 870 alerts.!!!  No text messages.

But it scared me so much I made sure our house was locked up tight last night.

 

I've learned my lesson.

Any more wrong numbers.  Ignore them.!!!!!

 

 

Take care.

Happy Valentines Day.

 

Happy Valentines Day!

Wishing you all a great day and an even greater night today.

 

A Million Pounds!!!

 

No, I haven't won the lottery!!!!!

 

 

 

On Saturday we had a day out. 

That is Me, Keith and Adam had a day out.

Laura stayed at home because Ade was staying for the weekend.

 

While we were driving we were listening to Radio Shropshire. 

I love Radio Shropshire and it's the only radio station I listen to.

Except when I have Laura with me.  Laura loves Galaxy. Aaaaaaargh.  I hate it.

I always try to change the radio station without her knowing.!!!!

 

Anyway.  Saturday.  We were listening.

They were doing a phone in.

The question was,

 

"If someone offered you a million pounds what would be the one thing you couldn't do???"

 

People were saying the obvious things,

 

Bungee jumping.

Parachute jumping.

Pot holing.

One woman said she couldn't have her ears pierced.!!!  Because she couldn't bear having her ears touched at all by anyone.

A gamekeeper rung in and said that he couldn't bear to touch a frog or a toad.!!!

Going down in a submarine was someone else' choice. They didn't like the thought of all that water above them.

Swimming in the sea.

Going into the Channel Tunnel, for the same reason.

 

It started me thinking.  What would be the one thing I couldn't do for a million pounds, or as they say "For all the tea in China.""

 

I think for a million pounds you could probably do most things. 

I'm not sure I could do a bungee jump or a parachute jump.

I'm not sure I could pick up a spider with my bare hand either.

Daddy Long Legs.  I am petrified of those.

 

So come on.

What wouldn't you do if someone offered you a million pounds?????

 

Can't wait to hear your answers.

 

Have a great Thursday.

 

 

 

 

Nice Matters Award

               

I have been given this award by Pam of Almost 40!  Thank you so much Pam.

To say I was shocked and even a bit embarrassed to receive it is an understatement. I so don't deserve it.

But I was so pleased as well.!!!! :)  I went to bed with a smile.

Now I have to pass it on to seven other people. 

Now comes the hard bit. 

Everyone I would pick has already received an award.

So here goes.......

Jon of Lonestar Concerto. It made me smile just thinking about him. Jon always has a good story to tell and draws you in from the very first word.  I always know I will have a laugh when Jon's alert comes up.

Amy of On Our Own.  This is a private journal, but I'd like to give her this award because I think Amy does a good job with her kids under difficult circumstances sometimes, and I hope this will make her smile.

Leigh of Leigh's world.  I think Leigh is an inspiration to everyone. Leigh is to me anyway.!!! 

Paula of Pauline's Country Tales and other Thangs. I always enjoy reading about Paula's everyday happenings. Paula has been a bit under the weather recently, so I hope she is feeling much better. 

Deployment Journal. This person also has a positive approach under difficult circumstances and I just enjoy reading about Her and Baby and Hubby.

I would also like to give the Nice Matters Award to everyone who leaves a comment.  I wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for all you "Nice" people out there.  

That's more than seven isn't it.????

What the heck.  I don't care.  Everyone deserves it I think.!!!!

Right.   I'm done.

Cup of tea for me I think.!!

Have a good Thursday.
