Rubbish! For a start your family loves you. Then you have your friends who value your company. Then us nutters who couldn't be without you.

My family aren't the sort that do "love". Never have done. The word's never been said, ever. Friends ... er, none; just other online people I chat to. And then there's you lot who probably think "get a proper bl00dy job for gawd's sake".

Oh dear, MSE's experiencing technical difficulties, I just got that page instead of this; refreshed and it was here again.... I wonder if it's all the DTD posters rushing to complain and shout about their Mr T trips today Overloading the server....

Silvercar said it best.

But how do we say it so you know we appreciate you? PN you ARE valued.

Neither are mine Pastures. In fact I got a real shock when I got married and found out that's how the in laws behaved. They do hugs too. My lot never do hugs. But in spite of the lack of demonstrative stuff, it doesn't mean that they don't love you wholeheartedly, they just can't show it. I told my Mum I loved her when she got cancer. It felt like the weight of forty-something years had been lifted off my shoulders. Whether or not its reciprocated, at least its been put out there. Please don't think you're not loved.

Just 'cos they don't say it, doesn't mean they don't care.

Seems you won't be convinced though, so I'll drop it.

Sorry GDB.....I've pretty much ignored it because it has been a hectic week, was away for most of last weekend, kids back to school this week, middle son having an aspergic rage on Tuesday leaving me in pain and trying to get revision done.

I have had various offers of trying to fix an external bolt system to afix the door onto (as even if we can get the bit out, we still need to get it fixed inside of the machine) but time has not been on my side this week.

I think lir and I may both be planning something for when our works are done. I wonder if any of you will be brave enough to come.

And for PN I will be in Devon this summer so we can organise something and I must visit DS2 after her baby in May which I think is towards LIR and Lydia.

If you were in the supermarket it was less likely to be her as I do the food bit generally while she does Next and M&S, however we do tend to split the kids so she might well have had one DD while I had the other and DS.

I haven't admitted it until now but I swear I bumped into mrs michaels in the big supermarket near us. There was a woman with one child who looked ever so familiar. I've never said it until now in case you think I'm a stalker!

It was actually in the coffee bar upstairs. Didn't want to say more than that, but only one child. Quite tall and hair back on that occasion. Any good as a description, or have I got totally the wrong person?
