... having a friend who works and whose husband earns more than you and your husband put together who says she's skint but puts away a lot of money every month to save for a new car and holiday to Disneyworld, is going to the NEXT sale tomorrow morning to buy clothes for her holiday to Disneyworld and then says she can't afford to buy her children a McDonalds and you feel sorry for her because her eldest child has been cruelly bullied that week and she's just been to her Grandma's funeral and some gormless dude threw something on her car from a bridge and the school are letting her down and life's generally a piece of poo for her at the moment and a McDonalds will really cheer the children up and she needs a shoulder to cry on and you end up paying £25.00 for the McDonalds for all your children and hers even though you're already overdrawn and still have a week of food and diesel to pay for and you don't care because she's your friend.
Friendship is.... when that friend last year watched your cry in your kitchen because when her children came round to play after school and ended up staying for dinner you couldn't afford to buy a tub of ice-cream for pudding because you'd hit your overdraft limit and that friend turned up the next night with a week's worth of shopping for you and stood on your doorstep with it and she did it because she's your friend.
Sooo, Rachel....

Yes, that is definitely friendship! I did the same sort of thing for a friend once, she had left her husband and was living with her children in a womens refuge and i bought her a weeks worth of shopping to get by. And i would do it again if i could as i cannot see anyone suffer like she had to.
