I'm so sorry to hear the suicide stories. Depression is an awful illness - it makes people who have it believe that they are useless, worthless, will never be out of the emotional pain they are in, and that their friends and families will be better off without them. It sucks away all hope. Please I hope it would help to remember that the depression killed them. Without that, they would not have died. So please don't think badly of them, any more than if they had had a heart attack or some other condition. I hope that thought might bring comfort to the girls.

I am sorry but I have to disagree..noone EVER has to make that choice.. it is a choice, a heart attack is the body breaking mechanical malfunction, nothing can be done; depression can be overcome more often than not I know I'm still here..

My BIL aged 6 found his dad and the psychological damage that has left him with is unbelievable. My husband was only 5 and it is still affecting his relationships with the children.. in his head he is so crappy that even his own dad didn't want him so how can he be a decent father?

If I had the ability to bring them back just for a day to show them the damage they had done I would. Give the ones who loved them a chance to ask why and see if they could have done something to make a difference.

Just my two-penn'orth.. and as we are each entitled to our own opinion it is duly right we respect that.

I will ask for the sake of some of our much loved members this topic stops right now!!!! I know some will be finding this incredibly difficult to read so do not want to take it any further.. I am sure you all understand that!

my duvet cover is drying beautifully on the line - I have stretched it out and it *breathe* won't *breathe* need ironing!
can I leave it?

:rotfl: :rotfl: Deep breaths valli, you can do it, step away from the board.... and be content in the knowledge that your duvet cover is hung up with matching pegs (I bet) :rotfl: :rotfl:

Valli, life`s too short to iron... I do a lot of smoothing, stroking and stretching just so I don`t have too... Haven`t ironed for years. Unless it`s essential like a shirt that looks like a screwed up crisp packet!!

Yes, but this is someone who watches videos on Youtube to get hints and tips, to her, ironing is theraputic, like eating chocolate... you have to understand she is very sad but happy!!!

HI all

Zcc72 ETA means Edited to add.

Well filled in some more applications forms but depressing when having to fill in past experience and am also struggling ads to who to put down as a reference.

Hi Hon, how you bearing up at the moment? You can put me as a personal reference if you like, I'd be more than happy to do that.

ETA: Hugs Valli, hope they sort the payments soon for you - You're right though, they should reclaim and then send it to right people - it should have been returned anyway - what was the sort code it was sent to? can you not contact THAT bank (I know not down to you, but would that help?)

are you being silly or do you really not know what a fascinator is? its the current trend for special occasion headgear - not quite a hat - usually on a hairband or comb - hers is on a band which you might just see - its actually pale grey and pink - not as dark as the pict - and the jacket is a perfect match again it doesnt look it and she is taking off the fluffy flower thing on the jacket - will wear grey/pewter shoes and bag.



off topic I know but she look fabulous! (mother of the groom)
