Newbies Beware!
 
Just a word of warning to any newbies, from a newbie.

I found this site while looking for info, as most of us did. However, if you want to progress your application, please cancel your account immediately!!!

The amount of time needed for filling in the 555 page application form, application checklist etc etc will instead be spent on here ... seeing if Wendy's got her house (she did!), if JackTheLad is feeling better (he's not), if Miss Naughty got to Spain okay (well, relatively speaking she did), clicking onto YouTube links (some of 'em are even good), reading the cheesy jokes; I mean by the time you've done all that, you'll have forgotten all about your application process.

You have been warned ...:D

I reckon it is somewhere after the first a hundred posts, when you have inadvertantly gotten into one of those 'you're a racist, no you're the racist' arguments, been called a thick newbie with rose tinted glasses at least 10 times, argued with your OH about neglecting everything in the house up to and including him, kids and dog, find yourself on here at about 0130 with the dregs of a bottle of wine chatting to your new buddies, saying no-one understand you like them.:rofl:
