    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker I've been Money Tipped!
    Time I hit the hay, got an early start in the morning
    Night night elite x
    There's no place like home :)

    Feeling down? Weak in body? Makes no difference to me, I think of you all when I'm sitting quietly.

    Hugs and healing thoughts are always going your way.

    any more?

    We all just have to meet up there? What about an elite picnic as food/drink is so expensive there we have been told? I can imagine the menu already ................ :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Frequent + 3 (would it be very naughty to take kids out of school for the day)

    Going to buy my purple I.D tights in the morning.

    Think you have just nominated yourself as 11+ Good(ie)Wood coordinator.

    Tell us what to bring and Mr T will provide, glitch willing.

    Regards to Mr 3 Dogs.

    No you're not. You can leave anytime. Any excuse is just an excuse.

    Sorry to be blunt but you must really hate this guy if you're contemplating putting not only yours but his life on hold for 3 years. Either you want to be with him or you don't.

    I really don't think this comment is helpful to Ausmummy right now, she obviously has many things to consider. Money/love/children/mortgage/commitment etc, I think all she was looking for when she posted was just to offload and for others to listen without judging her.
    I have also been where she is and the loneliness you feel is horrible, you can not tell anyone what your going through for fear of getting a reply like you have posted.
    I am one of the lucky ones and through my love for my DH he has now been dry for 2yrs, before that life was hell for a very long time and I did reach a point where I gave him an ultimatum but it took me a long time to get there as it took a lot of strength something I did not think I had. I am sure Ausmummy will make the right choice but that choice has to be her's, and it would be lovely for her to know that when she is ready she has people here that will listen and just be a little thoughtful in what they say.

    I'm not personally having a go at you, just until its your life I don't think you can start to imagine how hard that decision will be for her.

    Oh heck, I was only joking about the harem lmao :rotfl:

    Actually I might just go just for the eliters picnic. I reckon thats what we should do....have a nominated area which we can mark on a map of the place (easily available online) and we can have it as a meetup/picnic area.

    I nominate lala as head of hospitality.

    Just don't leave FQ in charge of the BBQ !!!!!!!!!! :rotfl:

    So, no BBQ then :rotfl: :rotfl: checking the map and picking a spot is a good idea - we need someone who has been before to advise us ...................................

    Can you remember who it was who had the family member killed on the ferry tragedy? God my memory is soooo bad these days it actually worries me. I'll be in a car with someone else so won't be able to do what I want to do but I'd like to go see the plaque.....sadly think it won't happen though. :(

    Is it possible to walk across the estuary on one of the bridges without the longish drive inland to the tolll bridge?
    I think it was Issyc?

    Yes, it was me. My uncle and my six year old cousin died on the ferry. FK, you said that you would have them in your thoughts when you next went there. I appreciate this so much and can't thank you enough. It means a lot to me. Thank you. xxxx
