To be honest, the odd swear word doesnt bother me anyway, sometimes adds to the humour if its placed for a reason.

My concern is that after all the fuss made about HC, I assumed that the whole site was anti swearing, but apparently not.

Just gauls me when rules dont seem to be applied with equal measure to all:(

spare a thought for the forum police trying to keep up with this thread alone...others ?

probably need more forum police or shut down threads,eitherway its the volunteer's that are the 1st line of defence..hello redfox

Point taken, but didnt realise swearing was so 'normal' on MSE. It was dealt with very harshly on this thread, as if it was an exceptional thing for someone to swear, it just makes me think that quite a proportion of members would be banned if all instances of swearing was dealt with so harshly!

So from what I originally said, it will be interesting to see if any posts on that thread are deleted, or any members banned.

Fudge-cake - The pics of your doggies are just too cute
I’m sorry that you have had such bad experiences at your local hospital, unfortunately it is all to common nowadays for hospitals to pass people by and not look after everyone as they should, but yours sounds particularly horrendous
Purdita - I hope your headaches start to ease soon, sending you :grouphug:'s and I just love the pic of Purdy in her mac, I think the look on her face says it all
MKS - So pleased that your DGD is back home and starting to get better
Coolnanna, Pinkdeedee, Forestroxydog, 028majmac, Billygoat31, Dazkelshan, Mariapb and Freebiefinder - :hello:
and welcome to the thread, I hope you will all stick around and join in the fun
Hennypenny79 - Loving the snow family :T
Sunshinestar101 - Nice to see you posting, the pics of your dogs were adorable, sooo cute. I hope you and Phoebe are doing well?
Savingin2012 - well done :T on your first dtd and congrats for being brave and sticking with it
Debsjc and westvleteren - Well done :Ton your weight losses, I’m so envious of your willpower
Czerny - :jSo pleased your OH’s new job tests went well and huge :T well done on passing your exams
Bookworm63 - Going to the docs is the first step. I hope you manage to get things sorted out for you soon and start to feel a bit better, sending you big :grouphug:'s.
Laura cello - Great whoopsie haul and how kind of you to drive the lady home, so she could share in the bargains, karma will thank you for this one day
Fourp - Happy birthday _party_, hope you are enjoying the Rugby and a nice relaxing drink
Artha - Very interesting post about the aussie overcharge policies, made fascinating reading
Lovingtescosforever - Sorry to hear about your mum relapsing , lots of :heart2: and :grouphug:'s to you both, I do hope she starts to feel a bit better soon.
Lindos90 - I hope you are feeling a bit better soon, :grouphug:'s. Definitely send OH on a t’s run, you need lovely soft tissues to help make you feel better and if your eyes are all sore and gunky, you won’t be able to read the thread :eek:
Motherbear - Sorry to hear you have been feeling down recently , sending you lots of :heart2: and :grouphug:'s, is there anything we can do to cheer you up?
Apennysaved - That’s an awful experience you had at t’s and definitely worthy of a complaint :mad:. I hope that the staff at that store, get a stern telling off and a reminder of how they should treat their customers
Bensonsmum - I’m glad your FIL will be coming home to you soon . When my dad was due to be released from hospital last time, my mum contacted social services and they sent her a carer’s assessment pack. They said that once she completed it and sent it back, they would be able to see what help they could offer her, but also enclosed was a leaflet about a local group that could supply assistance for about £4.50 an hour (this was not means tested). My mum had problems filling in the carer’s assessment, but when my dad was taken into the ICU, the sisters on that ward were incredibly helpful. They told her that each hospital ward has a social worker assigned to it and they would be able to help.
They also contacted someone on her behalf to assist her with filling in the carers assessment and explained that even when there is no help available on a long term basis, there is an emergency service available to assist when people are discharged from hospital back into the home.
It’s definitely worth talking with the ward sister, to see if there is any help available or a social worker assigned to your FIL’s ward, before he is discharged.
Sending you, OH and FIL lots of love and hugs
Tiny shoes - Sorry to hear your mum has been feeling so anxious and unwell , lots of :heart2: and :grouphug:'s to you both and I hope she managed to enjoy a nice birthday in the end.
3dogs - Well done to you and mr3dogs on your weight loss :T.
I’m so sad about the way the carers treat your mam in the home she is in , this is unfortunately all to common nowadays, but I am glad that she seems to be in good spirits. It makes such a difference to have you and your siblings being able to keep an eye on her :A and what is going on and I’m glad that there is at least one carer that keeps an eye on her too when you can’t be there and treats her well.
Snap-ant - I was so pleased to hear that your dad was home and adjusting, but now sad that he’s back in hospital with DVT . I do hope he starts to get better soon and he can get back home, where he is more comfortable. It will take lots of time for a fracture to heal, so he needs to make sure that he gets lots of rest.
I do understand how your mum feels, about wanting you to stay put at home, but you need to be with your dad if that’s where you want to be. Perhaps you and your sis? could book a cheap travel lodge or something, where you could all stay in the same room to save costs and then your mum won’t have to worry about cooking etc.
At least she is allowing some help from her friends, which is good.
The glass lift sounds really fab by the way
Meerkatsmimm - Congrats on the safe arrival of baby meerkat :j. The picture of both meerkats is just beautiful.
I saw this book in t’s the other day and it reminded me of you and your little Meerkats

Thanks for everyone that has asked how my dad is (Fudge-cake, Kymie Galvaniserbaby and other :A)
He is not great at the moment unfortunately. He has now developed what looks like more ulcers on his other leg (the newly infected one) and is just so down all the time
It is getting hard to try and keep his spirits up and now I have a stinking cold :mad:, I can’t even visit him as his immune system is so low it wouldn’t be good for him.
The nurses are starting to treat him a little better, but he is still in a lot of pain and due to go into surgery again next wk (the 4th time now I think).
He has had physio visiting him and trying to get him up and about, but he is in too much pain and now their just getting nasty . The other day they practically tried to force him to stand up and when he told them it was too painful, they just said ‘well you’ve had your pain killers haven’t you? The pain is never going to go away so you’d better get used to it’ :mad:
He was devastated and got really upset and wanted to come home. The surgeon has never told him that he would be in pain forever so all this really upset him and I was so angry :mad:, as he had only been into surgery the day before, so was in loads of pain
They just keep giving him more and more painkillers, which aren’t working . Also the physio want him to sit and stand, but the surgeon has said he needs to keep his leg elevated for a large proportion of the day to stop it swelling. When he told the physio this, they just ignored him and took away his footstool :mad:.

Just had to quote your lovely posts Fudge 2
Can't believe you've taken the time to say such nice things to so many people.....especially when you've such trouble of your own with your poor dad.

If I could wrap you up and bring you home I would......I think every home needs a little Fudge 2 :A:A

In Iceland the law states you have to fit winter tyres (with metal studs) in them in the winter. I sometimes wonder if we should have the same law here.

Interesting.

From this year, you are not exactly obliged to fit winter tyres in Germany, but if you don't and you are involved in an accident, whether or not it is your fault, there will be an assumption that you are in some measure responsible, be that in a reduction in your insurance payout or in any court settlement.

They don't have metal studs there, but the rubber or whatever they are made of is more malleable at low temperatures and so has better grip than our standard tyres, and the tyre tread is better at gripping too. We had the proof of the pudding last winter when they really were worth their weight in gold.

Our garage guys who once were sceptical now really get why it's worth doing, and whilst it's an initial outlay, once you've got them you just spread your wear out over two sets of tyres so they last twice as long.

I think one of the problems in this country is that laws are passed by metropolitan types in London, and some of them don't have a great understanding of what life is like in more rural areas.

Agree with you.

Think swearing on forum gets a yellow card.

PM a mod and tell them to go f themselves, even in the heat of the moment, is a defo red :

" Happy your lucky Nikkilala is looking out for you..."

Redfox hope that's a large one or more, you get for well deserved xmas bonus.
