    Morning everyone,

    Hope everyone is well.

    Weather a bit grey and grim.

    Pixie, hope you get your water problem sorted out soon. Do you have any bottled water you can use? (I am sure you have already thought of this and that I am really stating the blinding obvious!)

    Good luck with the marking, SW. Hope to hear from you after your long stint at work!

    Oh you will for certain. Your thread is keeping me happy at work. I keep wondering what everyone is up to.

    I will keep laughing at the phone being put in Nargelblast's underwear drawer. That is soo funny.

    You must focus on funny things too Ann and stay happy poppet. Big hugs,

    Dear Mouseann, it's just taken me 3 days off and on to read your thread from start to finish, and I have been amazed at your journey from despair to hope , I have found myself humming the Tony Hart music, sung football songs, thought about superheroes and tights lol and generally laughed and cried with you along the way.

    I no longer have any debts but I did spend 25 years worrying about the knock at the door, and I do live on a very modest income now ,about the same as a state pension, so I'm really a frugal living girl lol rather than a debt free wannabee., but I was so inspired by everyone on this thread I had to register to tell you what a wonderful job you are ALL doing, I'm sure lots of people will take a lot of comfort from it.

    Hope you don't mind me lurking Mouseann, you have managed to create a very nice place to lurk ! xxx

    Hi Birdlady,

    Good to hear from you! Your comments are very much appreciated, especially as they are totally non-judgmental!

    Please feel free to lurk as much as you want to - better still, if you feel inclined to join in our "silly moments of banter". Especially as you have now regitered. Nothing is sacred on here - politicians, Royal Family, childhood TV icons. You may even able to suggest another list for us to get started on!

    Of course, this DOES not mean that we don't take ourselves seriously. Merely that we find a little humour helps with dealing with whatever we get thrown at us - and all our humour is totally harmless and doesn't hurt anyone!

    You wouldn't say that if you met/knew/saw/heard me sometimes!!!
