h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Life is so unfair. Everyone learns this eventually but I learn it relearn it, and relearn it.
The Latest.
I asked my friends if they would like to go on holiday in a couple of years when I can afford to do it properly. They said they would love to. The next thing I know they are trying to convince me to go to Tenereiffe in January. I decide that I can just about afford to do this when they tell me that they cann't do that particular holiday and can I go in April. I tell them I can, and the next thing I know they have got ME trudgeing round town with several heavey catalogues that realy strained my muscles. That realy hurt, but the thing that is realy annoying is that only two of them were anywhere near what we wanted. I think I would rather go to Australia to meet my mums second cousin and his family. I have got to learn to stick up for myself more. Terific. I need a miracle.
