    Princess: Your mum may rant and rave for a day or two, but deep down she must always have known that this day would come one day. Just grit your teeth and get it over with and then it's up to your mum how she deals with it.
    As a mum I would rather that you told me than I found out from someonelse, that would really hurt me.

    Just reassure her that it doesn't make any difference to how you love her and in a day or so it will be all over.
    Bigs hugs coming to you from Mother Hen.

    having nothing to add except to agree with RM completely because she is so wise. :) Things will no doubt be carp for a while but your mum will have to deal with it, and she will come round because she is your mum and you love each other.

    Have you seen they are going to delete old threads not posted in for six months! Should we post in Blondie's original thread just to keep it 'alive' so to speak?! Or shall we let it go?! Just incase she comes back, can only hope!
  • Princess - don't think of it like that honey, please. It'll just mean you'll be really upset when you speak to her which will provoke her into getting upset. Try and be calm and remember you're not just her daughter, you're also an adult now and can make your own decisions. Be strong darling xx

    Thanks for all the good wishes ladies! Well, I have to say I'd really like to get this job. Met with HR manager & senior PA, both girls about my age who were lovely. Gave me a proper grilling but seemed really nice. The job sounds so cool - it's PA to 3 directors & the production team in a post-production company in Soho. They basically come in at the end of an advert or movie getting made and do all the special effects and editing. They won an Oscar for the SFX on Gladiator and a Bafta for Doctor Who (both awards were on display in reception - saw an Oscar in real life!). It sounds hectic but v interesting. Just hope I get called back for round 2! Keep everything crossed please! :o

    Swinstie - be nice to keep the Blondie thread for nostalgia's sake but in all honesty I can't see Blondie coming back after all this time. :(

    Yeah know what you mean, doubt she will be back! Was just a thought :D

    Job sounds fab, very interesting and exciting. So hope you get called back, you sound as if you're very creative with your artiness (is that a word), so you'd probably really enjoy it. Fingers and toes crossed for a second interview!

    Panic ye not it is only the subscriptions which are being deleted
    1. From 10pm this Thursday, October 8th, we are taking the Forum down for an hour to delete a large number of old subscriptions - every thread that hasn't been updated for 6 months of more will have it subs removed.
    Besides I posted on it not so long an updated linkage to where we were (just in case) so that thread is safe :D

    Ok, still here....

    Sorry just thought I'd try a 'Laura', :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Ok going this time, my house is begging for some attention and if I don't get the bedroom cleaned, OH will be getting no attention :D

    Nite all x
  • Made a flipping marvellous soup for dinner, and yes I do say so myself! It was health/leftover motivated. 4 sweet potatoes, 2 onions, 3 garlic cloves, 1.5pt veg stock, salt, pepper, paprika - boiled til soft then blended. Man alive, LUSH. Plus so nice after a horrible rainy stressy day. Big bowl left for lunch tomorrow, too! Yay!

    Got a blood test tomorrow. Am used to them because of having the old Crohns Disease (I even have a favoured blood test vein) but I do hate them. :(
