Sure, but sometimes the rant is also part of the soloution.

And the crying to every song on the radio. The 'what did i see in him' and the 'what was i thinking, or was i think at all?' thoughts.[/QUOTE

Yes, the vent was needed, sorry for that
I'm not usually too helpless, and had already sent an email when I posted (probably should have waited until morning, but its done now).

Not been too many years since I moved back. And those that have been shed have mainly been through frustration rather than longing. I had made up my mind to leave ages ago so had dealt with all that turmoil it was just that something big and :eek: came up pretty much the next day...

Thank you for the support everyone.

Zagubov, I hope I can go to the funeral, she was a bit of a loner really and an eccentric (its why I liked her!) but I have contacted her brother to get an address i can send flowers too. I have left it at that for now, because I want to respect their privacy at this time. I have been in a daze all day, and i keep reading all her facebook pm's she sent to me.

I am not religious at all, but I always try and find some meaning out of certain life events. I can be a REAL obsessive " planner " and her passing has made me realise that you only ever have today and I really need to chill out!

New thread from them today:

Skim the first few pages where they thank each other for the new thread.

No spreadsheet because they don't want to make it too easy or too well used in case it is spotted and stopped. Which is why they say Tosco for Tesco and Asda becomes Adsa and store names are spelt with symbols like L0nd0n, in case big brother is watching.

wow a subversive thread too ...I will check that out tomo thx

Apart from being a lot of faff... and several people on there saying they got it wrong .... you seem to have to buy an awful lot of stuff.... in fact, I didn't see one basket of goods I've ever bought in my life..... maybe they're addicts.... and will buy anything to feel they got £1 off.

Nikkster- was your deposit protected under TDS? If so, I reckon you can probably just ignore if they have returned. In any case I would personally just ignore everything unless they threaten legal action. A post on the proper house buying and renting board is probably advisable as I don't know what I'm talking about but there are a hardcore of posters on there who really do know what they're talking about.

Surely a great opportunity to post some enquiring stuff which deliberately mentions all the major supermarkets properly spelled over and over again?

If you can't go, can I suggest that a thoughtfully worded hand-written letter about how good a friend she was and the positive impact she had on your llife would be a godsend to her parents /family.

It's the people left behind we should think about. It won't matter to them at all that you're not religious, just that you were a friend. If you can celebrate her worth and contribution to your life, that will go some way to helping her family see her life as rich and complete rather than brief and over.

Yes, it was tds and I have it back. This is last thing I will deal with, and this is only out of politeness as I made a mistake in not telling them myself that I was leaving (well, it was supposed to he both of us leaving).

I am just about out of polite now, and wish I had told them where R.E.M. go when they first asked for money as I am sure I didn't sign the last contract. Should have kept a copy of it for myself, I only twigged that I hadn't signed after I had paid.

I don't think they could threaten me with legal anything tbh?? Although I guess I was technically subletting?
