    Oh dear, surprising how some so called "friends" can turn on you like that. I dont really keep in touch with any of my friends I have had in the past, I only have ExMil and one friend I used to work with who I meet up with now and then for a coffee and one other who I see once in a blue moon as she moved to the other side of the country a few years back, all my other friends are on here lol. I am quite happy with my family as my friends and my virtual friends on MSE xx.

    You have absolutel hit it on the nail, for me there 2 friends I keep in touch with, one more than the other, she's got a heart and would do anything for anybody, - bless her shes offered to do all m referecing for OU keep getting muddled up, but said I'd pay her, she doesn't want anything, so booked us tickets for a show. She's got problems - but would do anything for anyone, and I love her dog to bits, hes a black cocker spaniel, he's like a baby......... as you virtual friends I know if I needed anything I'd just shout help, and to me, your all more friends than some of real friends, I was luck enough 2 yrs ago when we were in Blackpool to meet a lad from the another thread and her grandson, they took me + dd out, met her family, really felt like known her a lifetime, she's just getting over breast cancer, shes sharing her story, but everyone on our threads are so nice, xx

    apologies for the rant, but thank you, its the weird thing its more the principle than anything........
    Blame it on hormones, Open Uni, governers meeting - our school losing some staff with the cuts, and money think Jan and feb, its come in to the bank in drips but gone out like a hot water tank been burst........ slightly over emotional. Finally got to the bottom of Miss Hoodies illness, - shes got herself in a state over this court officer coming to see her, she doesn't want to her dad, (shes 8 1/2 now) he's had absolutely zilch to do with her, but now he has a new son wants to be daddy of the year, shes got herself in a pitch that she'll be forced to see him, when she doesn't want to........ if anyone has a magic wand, can I borrow it please.

    A massive massive massive, and thank u all from the bottom of my heart xx
    xx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx

    Hello everyone , been lurking on and off on this thread since xmas . I wondered if anyone can remember the name of the survey site that used to pay in nectar points ? I seem to remember they changed names or merged with another site at some point , I can not for the life of me remember what they are called ? ! have i gone bonkers ? or did they exist?

    I know which one you mean, but for the life of me can't remember the name, use to go automatically to Nectar, now you have to request it, had pink writing in the title.
    Sorry can't be more help - at least your not going mad xx
