    Hi everybody.


    Over the last few weeks we have had a number of "troll" attacks on the boards.

    What is a Troll? A troll is a person that posts deliberately provocative, nasty or hurtful comments on threads. They may be a person with no previous connection to the board or someone that has created a pseudonym to get their point made.

    If you should get a comment made on any thread you post asking for help and advice please realise this comment is not directed at you personally.
    We really are all a lovely bunch here (oops, modest, sorry) so please ignore these nasty comments and continue to post here as normal.

    what should i do if i get a comment made on my thread?

    firstly do not respond to the comment as this invariably is what the person wants. At the bottom of the post, on the left hand side is a red "warning" triangle. Click this and then "send" the message that comes up. This will report the message to abuse who will review it's content and delete it.

    The person we had this morning was particularly vile and nasty and please believe me is an extreme rarity here.
    Above all PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE THE BOARDS. THIS SITE IS AN ASSET TO SO MANY, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT FEELS THE WORLD IS FALLING IN ON YOU. THERE IS SUCH A WEALTH OF ADVICE HERE TO BE HAD THAT THE COMMENTS OF ONE MUST NOT DETER YOU FROM AVAILING YOURSELF OF THE KNOWLEDGE HERE!!!!

    It is testament to the work that martin has done and continues to do that so many people give their time knowledge and experience freely to others, without judgement, to lift people out of the depths of debt crisis

    PLEASE DO NOT LET THE ACTIONS OF THE MINORITY RUIN THAT.


    Kind wishes

    I am in the process of putting everything back..I nipped out to get petrol earlier then I headed off to Webbs to go to Hobbycraft as I want some cardmaking supplies, then I went to Droitwich to visit the shop mum likes M&Co to buy a silver modern pendant (alright then I bought 2 pendants and a pair of earrings) then I went to Lula's most favourite supermarket in all the world - Waitrose:cool: I had a £5 voucher to use so I used it and bought treats that I wouldnt normally get and so I saved some money off my shopping and bought something reduced in store and they gave me my money back for parking:cool:

    Sounds like you've been doing some super money-saving Horace.

    Spoon -Lula has a never ending supply of happy dust (I think she grows it on her allotment!) so there's always enough for all :D

    MF hasn't popped in recently - hope you are okay MF if you happen to read :hello:

    Hello to anyone new who is reading/lurking :hello:

    Thanks Lula and Tixy, feeling better now :D:D:D

    Well done on the shopping Horace, serious money-saving going on there!

    No thanks PPP - I am rather stuffed..tea was 2 slices of quiche, followed by two mini fru thingies (they are really dinky) - key lime pie and passionfruit/mango cheesecake, 1 apricot croissant and a mug of coffee. Must remember to cook that pie that I got today - it looks more like a doorstop than a pie:eek:
