    Morning everyone

    Hi Lula, thanks for the happy dust - that's got my Monday off to a good start.

    Hope everyone else is OK - no Numpty this morning yet?

    Good morning all!

    Quick! Send out the tracker dogs to Leeds - mission? Find Numpty!

    Very good smiley, solvent, now if we good generate some blood-curdling sound effects we'll be almost there!

    Horace - you should at least pack Factor 15, you don't want your baby-soft peachy skin to be frazzled now, do you?

    Ah-choo! A bit too heavy on the happy dust, Lula, after all it is Monday morning!

    Have a good day everyone (apart from the species trollus nastibus of course)
    One life - your life - live it!

    Hi all

    Just caught this at the bottom of the page.

    Factor 8 sun allergy piz buin will be fine Nargle - I go brown anyway and tend to keep out of the sun in the middle of the day, if I can get a higher factor in the sun allergy range then I may just get some but if not then I will have to see what I can get in GC. If only I had been able to keep the lovely stuff I got in Alicante (damn and curse the stupid liquid ban) - it was for kids and was fab and I wasnt allergic to it.

    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

    Morning All. And welcome to any new posters, please feel free to join in the madness.

    What about the species troll stupidus Nargle? of course not so bad as troll nastibus but rather annoying all the same!

    COO-EEE NUMPTY, wakey wakey - you can't be having this much of a lie in surely? Are you unwell, do you need a chicken soup and lemsip parcel sending your way?

    BUMP

    BUMP again

    Numpty if you are lurking (I bet you are!) then don't let the smiley issue stop you from being a DFW. You are such a genuine person who provides support and help to people on DFW, not just the newbies but the oldies as well that we all need you on here. :A
    I understand if you are just need a couple of days off but don't you dare go disappearing on us altogether! :kisses3:

    Speaking of which...... ROG? WHERE ARE YOU?

    Another bump from 2.
    Remember everyone trolls thrive on being fed, report them and try to ignore them, and listen to the advice and comments from the proper posters instead of their vitriol.
