    Hope you've not cancelled yet .... please don't be put off. I know what you mean - it's like treading on eggshells sometimes (say the wrong word and - whoosh - someones down on you like a ton of bricks). BUT there ARE SOME very very nice people on this site too.

    I hope you find more positive experiences on here ... all the best :happyhear

    i didnt receive mine ,, after trying to get through for 3 hours , was informed on another forum that they ran out of stock and are expecting some today ! . may ring myself on friday if nothing arrives by then

    Hi deefin i think wat rizla meant (and definitely sounded like a bit of fun to me) was you are going to ring yourself on friday because you put "may ring myself on friday if nothing arrives by then" in other words it sounded like you was going to make a call to yourself. Merely a joke and i'm sure nothing more than that. Calm chick :)

    It's been moved here to Freebies gone but not forgottten.
    It keeps the board clear but you are still able to post.
    Hopefully we'll all be posting that we've received the hamper soon.

    BLIMEY!!!

    Been away for a couple of days.

    YES!!!! IT WAS A BL@@DY JOKE!!!!!!!

    Anyone that knows me realises that I dont put people down for tiny grammatical errors. Just a little mirth. Don't be so sensitive.

    What sort of world do we live in when peeps are forever looking to see where other persons are trying to put them down all of the time.

    If you were to go about life with a 'glass half full' attitude and not a 'glass half empty' attitude then this forum would brighten up tremendously.

    Anyone that doesn't understand this concept - ASK NOW. Mistresslisa has the intelligence to explain it to you (Thank Heavens) if I'm not around.

    I understand what you mean Rizla. Many times I have seen this sort of thing on messageboards and it has happened to me on one occasion when I was feeling very down and filled with self-doubt and due to this I misunderstood a message. Did not react but re-read when I was in a better mood, to see that the message was clearer and was intended as a joke.

    The smiley you put on your original message made it very clear to those reading it that you were being humorous (that's the purpose of smileys) but Deefin could have overreacted due to how he was feeling (possibly) at that time or he had been the target of abusive messages in the past.

    I'm sure Deefin sees things clearer now.
