    I would not agree that people who find it cliquey are those who dont make an effort to chat ..... When you post something and get no response or welcome then that will put you off posting again . I think it reasonable to think you have been ignored in them circumstances. I only saw what recently went up about the birmingham meet and was commenting on that post alone ....as i was not on the parenting thread last year i have no idea what was being arranged then .... i have looked back through this thread and some posters do think that what they say on this thread is sometimes not answered too or they think their input is ignored. That is my opinion on this and this will be the last comment i make about it .

    I agree with alot of what you are saying, but it gets easier over time. The initial posts are difficult, for want of a better word, but I like it when newbies come in Fresh Meat new posters are always welcome.

    More people, more advice, more cyber acquaintanceships and as the meets prove, a little more than just online friendships.

    Keep posting, I get good advice from here, which is going to be needed for a while yet so I can pass on to my better half.

    Hi, we're back - thanks MDW, MOTM, MFD for your wishes. F really screamed this time, but he seems ok now (calpol in arm's reach, just in case :) ). Well, at least that's over for another month...

    Hope he's okay. Poor children don't understand it's for their own good :(

    I have just read that as you knew the bloke that knocked you up when you were 13! :eek: Please tell me I read that wrong! :o

    Bastage camp, I think i'm sitting waiting for her response via her solicitor.
    I might have a search around tomorrow to book a free half hour for advice.
    Having a 6 year old that would make me a meer 19... it was actually 10 years later he knocked me up...

    I think you should definitely get something in proper writing from the "solicitor" too...

    I'd say a holiday is pretty tangible. They sent you away from it so clearly denied you the thing you paid for.

    I don't mean I have a list, I certainly don't have one :rotfl:I'll get on with anyone that is willing to get on with me. I've not had any nasty messages from anyone either :o
    *mops brow* (How come we don't have a mops brow smiley?)

    I've never received nasty messages either. And I hope nobody has ever thought I've sent them a nasty message - I've never sent a message intending it to be nasty.

    We don't have plenty of smileys we could have. I think the reason they gave for getting rid of the rolleyes smiley was because it was being used to make newcomers feel unwelcome. I'd say if you used any smiley in the wrong way, it could be deemed unwelcoming, but we need some new ones I think.

    :xmassign:

    I'd be disappointed if their were any nasty messages going around, whether they were about me or anyone else on here.

    Actually, i'd be quite honoured if it was about me, in a strange kind of ' I must be important as they are talking about me' way :cool:

    Maybe Tara has misinterpereted, at least I hope she has.

    Tara hope your ok...I must say I do think you are over reacting a little bit, and after the way everyone rallied round for your daughter after she had Poppie, and took so much interest in your wedding, and loads of people 'turned up' for you hen night!!!! I am not really sure where all this has come from? Hopefully you will come back and post in the near future:)

    My diet officially started today, I am really struggling trying to drink enough water though. I usually only have about 2-3 cuppas and a glass of juice or pop in a day....

    Blessing update....I have decided that we are all going to the local pub for sunday dinner after the blessing, then anyone who wants to come over to out house after that can do, that will probably only be my friend & family, and my mum with her boyf and mil with her boyf. I just decided I couldnt be bothered with everyone coming back here and really cba to do food myself;)

    Was it Kians christening yesterday? hope he had a good time (if i'm right??)

    Good luck with that. Once you get into drinking the litres they suggest, you won't notice you are doing it, apart from the 78 extra trips to the loo every day.

    Kian's christening was yesterday. Jillie hasn't been on, but she did say she had loads of family coming over from Ireland, so won't be on much.

    Hopefully it went well.
