    Hi to all

    Lots of you have sent me messages and just want you all to know the same thing. I’m fine I really am. Like most of you, for someone who manages as much as Pigpen does I have a lot of admiration for her.

    But we all have stuff going on in our lives; it doesn’t entitle you to treat other people like that just cos you’re having a hard time. By her own admission she hadn’t even read the thread properly, saw my post and drew her own, incorrect conclusions.

    For the record and anyone else who was on the list and is concerned – I will repeat again – as only some posts and some parts of posts are being read! I HAVE NOT SENT OUT THE LIST TO ANYONE AND EVERYONE.

    Everyone has sent me lots of messages saying not to let this upset me and I know what they are saying – that’s just Pigpen’s way. Well that’s fine that can be her way. But I don’t need to be dragged down by someone I don’t know and have never met - and all because I tried to do something nice.

    Sorry, but no. Cleaning and organising my house doesn’t merit being spoken to like that. Ill write my own lists. As much as I love everyone else, I can’t put up with it.

    I’m in the process of cutting all the carp out of my life and this thread was sanctuary where I didn’t have to put up with other peoples bullying. I’m not taking it from anyone else, so I don’t see why I need it from a stranger xxx

    Pigpen - you do lots of good things for people but your and bull-in-a-china-shop, 'I can say what I like attitude to who I like and how I like’ is too much for me.

    Penny did nothing wrong, and I have sent her a PM as she contacted me apologising that she was worried she had upset me. I thought about doing the same for pigpen, and telling her that she had misunderstood, but I’m sure it would fall on deaf ears so didn’t really see the point xx

    Take care all xx

    I never said you had sent the list to anyone any everyone... what I said was that it was meant to be used for anything other than the cards and then should have been deleted, it was purely and simply an explanation of the rules around a card swap 5 months ago. I didn't misunderstand a thing, you did.. you read malice into my words were there was none, for whatever reason.. maybe the frank way it was worded or maybe you read what you wanted to, either way :confused:.. I went back and read enough of the thread to know that I am upset that a fairly new member, I do not know, that has been on the thread only a few weeks, while I have barely been about, has access to my 'sanctuary' and that other people thought that was acceptable to share that information.. it isn't all about you.. there were others on that list who gave their details safe in the knowledge it was for those others on there and must also now feel like their trust was misguided and their personal details bandied about like a childs plaything.

    You may well be upset by what has been said.. but words are nothing compared with breaking someones trust which has been done to me and every other member on that list. Put yourself in our shoes for a minute.. what if someone wasn't what they claimed to be and turned up at your home, while you were ill and alone?

    You are obviously in an emotional state at the moment and this has become a sounding point which is fine.. but if you have anything else to say please can you either do it off the thread. feel free to PM me I think I have space.. but as it is not flying related as the rules of allowing this thread state.. please see the notification on post #1..

    As for flying... I am signed off sick.. I have glandular fever and may be a bit floppy and useless for a few weeks.. got a third lot of AB's.. which won't help the GF but will (hopefully) sort the tonsils! I came to bed for half an hour earlier and woke up 2 hours later!

    I did put out the rubbish and recycling :D

    Off to reclutter my house with children!

I REPEAT - YOU HAD A GO AT ME FOR IT.....no one else.... there were others on that list who gave their details safe in the knowledge it was for those others on there and must also now feel like their trust was misguided and their personal details bandied about like a childs plaything.......AGAIN for the MIllionth time - I DIDNT!!! yet youve said nothing to anyone else except me!!! Isnt it funny how you are wondering why youve been misinterpretted.

    You may well be upset by what has been said.. but words are nothing compared with breaking someones trust - HOW EXACTLY DID I DO THAT???? which has been done to me and every other member on that list. Put yourself in our shoes for a minute.. what if someone wasn't what they claimed to be and turned up at your home, while you were ill and alone? - COMPLETLY AGREE, NEVER SAID I DIDNT - your reaction is what is unjust - not your reasoning.

    You are obviously in an emotional state at the moment and this has become a sounding point which is fine.., NOT AT ALL, but unlike some of the others on your thread, I wont be spoken to like that when I have in fact done nothing wrong - I offered to update the list, Penny explained there shouldnt be a list nor exchaning of information - it should have been the end of the story, but then came your tirade...... but if you have anything else to say please can you either do it off the thread. feel free to PM me I think I have space.. - I TRIED YOU DONT but as it is not flying related as the rules of allowing this thread state.. please see the notification on post #1..
