    words are put into the swear filter by the abuse team so they are not used on the forums, using ! instead of i for example still makes it clear what the word is so is still classed as swearing

    The word used however is a female dog so can be used in that context...The filter blocks out unnecessary swear words such as the town of S!!!!horpe....a total overreaction to the use of one word.

    but it wasn't used in that context this time

    which is why it was removed :)

    Anyway, I didn't meant to cause any bother. I'm not going to re-post as I've been told it's more suited to the Discussion Time board, but I've never even been on there so I'll leave it be.

    I will let everyone know when bubs puts in an appearance. I'm going to see if I can do something to soothe my eyes otherwise they'll be red and puffy in the morning and the girls will know that something other than hayfever was wrong today - which I don't want.

    Thanks for the support. Gemma x

    Anyway, the lovely Glad is going to sort the thread out for me. So you will all still be subject to my tales of woe.

    Thank you Glad.

    Don't see why it couldn't be on here - it's not very money saving to be having to go to your solicitor the whole time with 3 children to support ;).

    Whether you choose to start a new post or not, do let us know how you're getting on - there are lots of people rooting for you :beer:

    I'm really disappointed for you that your MIL is acting so disgustingly; she is acting the true scolded woman - what a pity. How could she be so repugnant as to throw your past in your face? Textbook actions of someone who is losing their usual grip on a situation.

    I don't blame you for wanting to maintain a distance from her - it's absolutely the right thing to do right now.

    All the best, have everything crossed for you.

    just to say BG's can't edit other people's posts

    and sometimes a word will show up in a search of posts without it being obvious that it is in the opening post of a thread

    and I'll close this thread now as the other one is back up :)
