    Ahhh Bob..we'll miss your wit and humour.
    Please don't stop posting...who are you getting to vent your frustrations at if not on here...lol.
    Seriously I can understand where you're coming from and it's entirely up to you but we are here when you need us.,

    Bob, take as much time as you need to get your head around whatever you need to. A few quiet days can work wonders, but you know we're too addictive to stay away from for too long. ;)

    Just don't be a stranger - well, no stranger than usual :D

    Can't read and run me old mate...

    Sometimes I go for days without posting because I have a lot to focus on ...........or because I've been exposed to some negative stuff like the letter from the builders (and I too was really upset about the posts etc the other week that I saw on here and on the other website :mad: ).

    Other times I just need to have somewhere to vent (without giving all the personal details away).....and I did find large red font on my thread helped :D :cool:

    As has already been said, we're all still here when you need us...take your time.......that's the great thing about DFW - you may be out of our sight for a while but you're not out of our minds ever...and if it helps to PM instead of post, then we're always here ;)

    So sending you lot of dodgy hugs............... :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: .........

  • Thanks Taxi, George and Wol...i am just trying to think of a way of balancing things as it will avoid the " I sound like a bitter old bag syndrome" Which of course i am , but don't want to sound it:cool: :rotfl:

    Maybe i should adopt a 'fayjmc' approach and post updates in a different colour and can natter away then..just so i keep to DFW.As Wol says a different colour works wonders.:D

    I think some of the problem really is overtiredness and like so many on here i am happy when just doing little things together a meal or something, in between is like a war zone(well me being a sarcastic moo:rolleyes: while he does his bit(not) and falls asleep at the drop of a hat..:cool: !) and i am aware of so much negativeness can have an affect on overall wellbeing. It seems to attract/ or rather detract from all the good stuff.

    I am replying again..:eek: :rotfl:
    Am orf now.

    Posting/reading the "little things" thread daily might be a really good idea, I used to do it all the time.

    The colour change thing for proper Debt updatey stuff was Piq not me - I outrageously copied it from her.

    Copying other peeps tools and money saving ways is a flippin good way to get DF. That's why this public forum is so useful.

    The little-things thread each day is a mine of useful little tips and wrinkles. (Mr T got humungous by little things.......every little helps.)

    Lurk and post a little each day Bob, I for one really enjoy your humour ;) and would miss you if you didn't come on here.

    aww hgs bob...can understand where youre coming from but instead f not posting at all just maybe miss the being negative about mr bob bits...those of us who know you know that its an issue and like you I do think some things should be private - pm's etc maybe to vent but not tell the world? Not posting at all not good though - its just about balane innit!! Hugs for you and as Wol said - here for a natter if you want one...hang in there!
