    I am so sorry about your Dad but he is no longer in pain and knew he was loved.
    I want to apologise to the board guides as any comments made were meant for the nasty remarks some people made on the other thread.

    I don't think anyone meant to get at the board guides.

  • Candygirl ((((((((hugs))))))))) to you and your family. I'm sure the fact that you were all there helped.





    I would just like to add that I am in no way "getting at" the board guides either - I know that they were just doing what they had been asked to, and think they do a fantastic job.

    I believe quite a few of the statements being made represent the fact that a lot of what were very regular posters have abruptly stopped, because of comments made by a few people on the other thread and because they don't now feel they "live up" to the required standards.

    (((((((((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))))))))))) to Candygirl and family my thoughts are with you


    now to other thoughts
    I've taken a few day's out but I have still been reading and I wasn't sure wether I was going to post on here again but I think I will
    the Board Guides do a wonderful job and most times no sooner than you have asked then you get an answer and I can see and understand why there was a need for the other thread when a lot of things were said and there was a lot of nastiness,some didn't know what to write about others carried on as usual which I personally feel is fine heck I try and be as os as I can but there are some day's when it just don't work for me ,and I think that's true of a lot of people.
    I put on here what I'm going to do with my day the same as I would if I were talking to a friend or neighbour (except I have a neighbour from hell and I don't speak to them) so I don't think I'm going to change the way I post or what I tell you, you are all lovely people please don't change and for those MIA we miss you

    Candy Girl, sorry to hear your news, my thoughts are with your family.

    Not done much in the way of OS today, weekly shop this morning, spent £10 less than expected due to a large number of YS & RTC's, which meaant changing the meal plan a little bit. Batch cooking some spag bol this afternoon & cooking double choc muffins, enough to last the week, well thats the theory.
