Hi we made the best of it but it makes me so jittery losing power, then for it to go out again, even for a short time.

Sorry you had a bad quarrel.

Ours was blinking all night, lucky no damage was done!
Was a hellish night hun!

Ohhh yes we did xxx

I notice you and Sazbo commented about the weather and cancellations, which means a lot to me, but I wished everyone a happy new year, before we got cut off and felt my post got completely ignored.

On top of the very long power cut and having this rotten cold, I feel rather upset tbh.

Oh flickering really gets me uptight too. You would think in this day and age, things would be more reliable.

We were too scared to go out to go to find a place with heat and light.

The side roads had a lot of debris on them today. Also the Forth bridge was closed to all traffic last night too. Thankfully our son was OK with his mates in Fife.

I don't have an issue with you, you did acknowledge me, even if you didn't see my very early greeting - I posted at 4pm ish saying happy new year to everyone, also told people about my possible absence and it wasn't even acknowledged by the next posters, people who I thought cared about me - just ignored.

Oh well, new year et al...

Argh I wanna scream!!!!!!!!

Too jittery to sleep, rain is heavy and noisy, feel so low, I could die. I know I have heat and light but I'm still cold and scared it will go off again because of the weather. I feel cheated of our New Year's eve and will never get it back again. I feel 'our time' alone has been spoilt. I hate it here, I love visiting/living near Edinburgh but why can't I find a place to live that I can enjoy?

Hi cc :wave:

That was the most bl**dy miserable New Year's eve we have ever had! As I predicted the power went out at 8.20pm and came on at 10.30pm on the 1st!! 26 hours without power:( What annoyed us is just up the road kept theirs. A lot of others lost theirs.
We managed to cook and eat our dinner but I felt too upset. Midnight came and the fireworks were good but the city events were cancelled in Edinburgh, Glasgow and Stirling. We went to bed at 1am and woke at 7am, still dark. Stayed in a did packing when it was light.[quote/]
Sorry to hear that you were out of power for sooo long - that's awful! It usually happens that way, with someone up the street still having electricity. The authorities were good at predicting the storms and cancelling most events as we all expected. Can't help acts of God though can we? I'm glad you managed to get some dinner hun.;) :j

At 4pm we went out for a slap up dinner, we were so cold and miserable, we felt we deserved it! Afterwards went to the pictures. When we got home, the lights were on! Took flipping ages to reset things tho'. Whilst out for the drive, we found the wire that was supplying us dangling in a puddle on a back road. Quite a lot of places were out too.Fingers crossed they stay on. No it went out for a minute just after I wrote this. My nerves are shot.[quote/]
Of course you deserved it after 26 hours away from heat and light! Terrible storms everywhere! It was dangerous out there - even here in Warwickshire. At least it didn't happen to just you hun. Glad we're all safe.;)

Looking thro the past posts - doesn't look like anyone noticed I was missing after writing my happy new year message and warning I might be offline afterwards for a while:(
Seems to have gone all cliquey suddenly. I would have loved to have been on here helping others yesterday and sorry some people were feeling low but at least you had heat and light! Being without electricity really sucks, it is cold and miserable when you are without it![quote/]
CC hun - whoa!
Now don't jump down my throat angel, but you've got it all wrong! I looked back over the posts too cc, and 9 people wished everyone on the thread Happy New Year on the day, 3 people named you specifically and yesterday, I mentioned you specifically on p338, letting you know how much you are appreciated and wishing you well.
It wasn't cliquey at all - the people posting were the only ones online. Everyone else was doing their own thing. You can't get upset just because you weren't online hun. Maybe people didn't post because they knew you were offline but throughout the day, you were sent many warm wishes and you also sent them yourself.
We've probably all had that experience with electricity hun and you're right, it is awful. Just because there was heat and light in people's homes, it doesn't mean that they have it in their hearts - and to me that is worse. Heat and light can not be compared to what's going on in people's hearts! There were a lot of people who weren't specifically mentioned cc - not just you, so don't take it so personally hun.

I have a rotten cold and been without power for 26 hours which has really bought me down. I shall stay away from here for a while too, I feel even more lonely and low now. This year so far so sucks!!! People change in January - people who were nice in December, go cold in the new year. I can never understand that. I don't know why I bothered writing this - it's a waste of time, no-one is interested.

CC hun, this is what I meant when I said to you in my message to stay calm. I can understand you must have felt very low with the weather and your bad cold hun, not to mention the New Year blues - I am sorry you feel so angry and so low. I really hope you're feeling better. I hope these are the reasons that you're posting so angrily to people who don't merit it. I'm hoping you just needed a good rant which everyone is entitled to;) , but then you go on to repeat your angry feelings.

I do care about you - and everyone - on this thread hun. But I think you're wrong in this instance cc - a little bit of over-reacting with regards to people not caring about you.:o Personally, it wasn't nice to read your comments - quite hurtful in fact. I'm not being nasty to you angel, in any way, just honestly replying to a post that I felt was undeserved. Hun, you do have things to be grateful for and you've got great plans for 2007 and people do care about you. We're always here for you. It's not about how many people mention your name in posts here hun. It's quality and not quantity as the saying goes. I hope you won't stay away from the thread - we're all the same people we were 72 hours ago.

I was alone again for another New Year's Eve, part of the status quo for me , with my DS. I've had no parties or invitations to any. I wanted my phone to ring as it always did, with my Dad wishing me Happy New Year - even though he usually got me out of bed to answer it! - but he's gone and he can't phone me and I missed him so much.

I don't have many options as far as making plans for 2007 because of one thing and another - health, finances etc. There's no-one for me to fight with, take me anywhere or go out to dinner with.
And sometimes cc, I break my heart crying because I feel like the loneliest soul in the world.
I do try and give my honest heartfelt best to everyone on here and, no matter what I'm going through, I try be gracious and not have a go at anyone. My name wasn't mentioned much either that night on the board - a lot of people's names weren't. My name isn't mentioned much anywhere really:o :rolleyes: Do you know what it's like to be that lonely? Don't forget either, that we all have mental ill health issues too and may not have been well enough to post. Sometimes I wish I was in any kind of relationship - even an up and down one! - just so I'd have someone.
I'm sorry if this post offends you angel - it wasn't meant to but I felt I just had to repond to what you were saying. Apologies to you and to the others for my long post and for any upset caused.
So cc hun - please take a step backwards and take another look at the whole picture. You're not so badly off angel - there's people hurting worse than us but yes, our pain is important too. Let go of all that anger hun - you deserve better than that.
Hold your head up girl and start the New Year that you have planned, with a generous spirit and a hopeful heart.
Sorry everyone.
Much Love,
Tiff xxx

Not true - It's always good to hear from you CCStar. Really sorry to hear your had such a rotten New Year. I was thinking of you up there through the rotten weather.

You are much loved and valued here.



Take care and hope you are feeling better soon.
