That's a lovely post, Fudge Cake.
Purdita, I was also a member of SSM before MC started but every time I won something, a box came up and I had to enter my address. It says somewhere on their FB page that if they haven't asked you for your address, they will contact you to get it.0 -

I have written a letter from the heart regarding the appeal.
DS's headteacher has written a letter of support
Our GP has written a letter of support
I have enclosed the latest letter I received from Children's Services following another incident of domestic abuse by my stbx in front of the children.
I have also enclosed a copy of the CAF that was written to outline everything that has happened so far and how it has affected my DS.
I have copied everything and have just personally handed all the paperwork in at the council offices to the appeals officer. The appeals won't be heard until mid May to the beginning of June, so I've just got to hang on now.
Thanks again. I never cease to be touched by how lovely my MSE friends are. xx
aarh shucks
you're welcome 
please keep us posted as to what happens,I really hope it goes you're way.0 -
Bummer was going to get some more today. Ill have to wait. So tempting to just return it and keep the voucher. But im running low on powder
running low in laundry stuff???? never!!!!! The amount of laundry stuff I have here will last me longer than my washing machine probably!!!!!!! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:Fudge_Cake wrote: »Ok all caught up

Sending cuddles, get well wishes and lots of good luck sprinkled with fairy dust to ChelseaGirl, bensonsmum, Purdita, Snap-ant, toni_, Ilovemykids and Caz :A:A:A:A:A:A
Chin up chickens, keep smiling, draw strength from the well wishers and friends you have on the thread and here's hoping you're all feeling millions better very soon :Axxx
Thankyou Tinyshoes for answering my question about the £1 clothing sale:TI'm now pondering whether I could have got what I did cheaper doh!!
I didn't have any time to scan things before queueing up to get them reduced so I might have overspent
Ahhh well, not much I can do now but nevertheless, the leather boots I got are amazing and I'm chuffed with them 
Scamps yes Honeycomb TCO's are 1p, it seems to be the only thing I can find now (well and stacks of single big purple bars)....they're everywhere in my locals! :mad: I've done the rounds of Brist0l stores on Saturday so if you want to know about any store in particular PM me
:rotfl:I thought TPO's were Terry's popping orange!
:o:o:o
On the subject of thanking posts, I thank posts that I agree with and that make me smile not just ones that I find helpful and also if someone is ranting/expressing how ill or unhappy they are, I think it's nice for them to know I've read their post and am thinking of them. I don't think there's a right or wrong use of the thank button but I do find it sad when someone goes to the effort of posting a great find, that people don't express their gratitude.
Oh and QOC, you're absolutely welcome, glad you had a productive trip and managed to escape the mad house for a bit! :Axx
Feeling pretty rubbish today
Have had a rash on my face for over 2 years now and tried every cream going. Steroid cream works a little but then stops working! It's so itchy and bright red and I'm really embarassed by it 
Last time I went I got told it's what's called a 'butterfly rash' which is a symptom of Lupus that I've never experienced until now appoarently. But I don't believe it is because otherwise the cream wouldn't work. So I'm off to the docs later to plead my case again and maybe ask for referral to a dermatologist....another app to add to the ever growing list! :eek::(
My grandfather has lost all use of his legs in the last couple of days and fell down half the stairs. We think it's to do with the high doses of meds which are incidently doing zilch for his Alzheimers. He can't sit still for 5 mins, s up at 3am in the morning trying to get out the house, getting increasingly aggressive and it's so horrid to see. My poor Mum is at her wit's end with it and crying all the time, she's physically and emotionally exhausted after everything that's happened over the last 9 years. There are so many times I just want to run away, the only thing keeping me here is Mum, I'm trying to be strong for her but I'm struggling to even stay strong for myself.
My Father is the most selfish, nasty piece of carp going and is draining me of any energy I have yet I can't leave my Mum to pick u[ the pieces, she's nowhere near strong enough. I feel completely and utterly lost in life, I haven't a clue what to do and I'm scared of applying for jobs as I can't deal with anymore rejection. My sister who is a carbon copy of our Father and who I have no relationship with whatoever is off to Florida with our Aunty and cousins on Thursday...I wasn't even invited or appologised to for not being invited. I did everything I could to hold our family together even though I was sufferring terribly (with Anorexia) and nobody wanted to listen. !!!!!! it sucks being invisible to your own family, all I've ever done is be ill and they treat me like I'm the devil! :mad::eek::(:mad::eek::( I don't want anything to do with them after what they've put me through but it doesn't mean it stops me from feeling worthless.
Sorry for the rant I just had to get it out!
:Axx
awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww Fudge... I am sooooo sorry
It's awful when there's a rift in the family, I think everyone on MSE can vouch for that.... This is why I use the sentence often
"Friends are the family to choose for ourselves"
And it very true...
You not on your own, but I know, sometimes its nice to have a cuddle and for someone to say how proud they are of you...
well Fudge... WE are proud of you and here's a :grouphug::grouphug::grouphug::grouphug: xxx0 -

Wanna swap??!!
I could have bought well over 150 Honeycomb TCO's by now!!! Those, big purple bars and promises are the only things I can find. I really wanted the Thorntons mints, Finest dessert collection or xmas choc tins but none to be found booo!
