    I lost contact with a friend several years ago. She kept asking when I was going to try again for a baby (she knew at that point I'd had a miscarriage and two ectopics) and every conversation and email we shared was all about her second pregnancy and how I should just "get over it and go for it". With (three year's) hindsight I know she wasn't being deliberately horrid, just unthinkingly inconsiderate but at the time her pregnancy milestones were like slaps in my face. I was angry with her for nearly three years until I bumped into her whilst shopping and we talked and I got it all off my chest.

    Saying that I have a friend I hear nothing from until she's suddenly single again and then I'm like her new best friend. When I don't hear from her I assume she's all loved up and I'm not good enough to meet the chap:mad:

    I understand that people have busy lives but I've called a couple of times, emailed and texted and had absolutely nothing back. Not even a one liner 'Congratulations' - nothing. We were quite close in Aberdeen and maintained contact for a while after I moved to Glasgow but suddenly she stopped getting back to me or initiating contact. i was quite hurt by it to be honest.

    I have to admit I can be the worlds worst at keeping contact with people and responding to text messages....its a hit or a miss really. Luckily my best friends have known me a LONG time and are used to it....

    That being said.....tell her how hurt you were when she didnt keep in touch, she possibly never realised.

    afternoon all. Just finished stuffing my face with syn free sausages for lunch!

    Spud - sending you lots of positive thoughts. Charlie had to have a cyst removed when he was just a baby (harmless one but he'd scratched it and got it a bit yucky) and it was hard to leave him, but he was so cute and sleepy when we picked him up later that day!

    Toto - lovely name. My niece is called Amy Rose.

    Bun - much prefer you as a buxom blonde!!

    I got a t-shirt through the post from AQA today which was the rest of my gift along with the gift voucher. I requested XL, not wanting to ask for anything bigger - let's just say I managed to get it on, but struggled to get it back off again after 30 seconds of it cutting off the blood supply and shoving everything together in a bit of a haphazard way!! :rotfl:

    Thanks BB. She's had a cyst removed before and was fine. In fact she's got quite a few, but she caught this one while out for a walk one day, and it's never healed. Vet said it would be safer to remove it.

    There's a horrible atmosphere round the house today, we're all so worried. It wouldn't have been anywhere near as bad if we'd been able to leave her in a nice, sleepy state. We could still hear her howling when we got to the car :(

    Hopefully we'll get the call soon so we can go get her.

    As for the t-shirt, whenever I get something like that, I order a small, then give em to DD to sleep in :p

    aah, didn't realise it was a cyst - I'm sure it will be fine. Charlie just kept scratching it and it got a bit infected so the vet said best to take it out, to sort it out they don't normally bother though. He has one below his rib cage which was a bit scary to find but the vet said it was a cyst last time he got his jabs and said it wasn't even worth drawing any fluid off to test.

    I think my t-shirt is going to become a set of dusters!

    That's what hers is like. She can bend herself in half (hard to explain, you'd have to see it to understand :rolleyes: )and kept blimmin nibbling at it, so it wasn't able to heal.

    The rest dont cause her any issues, so can stay. Maybe we should change her name to Lumpy :o

    afternoon all.....

    been a busy couple of hours at work, wholly unacceptable nnot to get a mse fix for oh, 3 hours!!

    just about to have lunch now too, and this is very late for me! should make for a nice short afternoon though...

    Swimming lessons start tonight! Eeeeek!!

    LOL @ AQA Tshirt, i've given up on freebie tshirts BB... i ordered the biggest RFL tshirt i could this year (not a freebie £16!) in a size 22, if you don't mind, so it should've been plenty big... well it wasn't. So i sent it back, even if it was for charity... it was too small to wear even with jeans, never mind to run in, which is why i bought it...!

    I think Tshirts are made small these days, it's the fashion i guess.... everything is cut long and skinny....

    I prefer nice square tops, to fit my square body!

    Even for erin, who is a chunky age 7.5... i struggle to find kids tshirts to fit her shape.... have been known to buy tesco value tshirts in a size 8 adults to fit her well... she has a host of colours!!!
    I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....
    (it's part of my charm!)
