  • oh you lot, you've made me cry...

    you're all so very kind. Tearful today, although Mum last night was bit better, her breathing more consistent and she took her first few tentative steps out of bed yesterday with a frame. I was saying to Snowdrop, mum is just a little bag of sparrow bones, cant weigh more than 6st, probably less, eats like a mouse. She must look at me and think bl**dy hell, what happened there? lol. Tensions are so high at the moment, had a big fall out with Bethany yesterday, she really needs her own space to nest in. We're all under each others feet!

    Just feeling overwhelmed and stupid stupid crying, holding on to stupid stupid history hurting.

    Blue, that sky reminds me of Turkey. Dulux paint chart blue, the kind of blue that small children, not yet cynical, automatically reach for when they colour their sky in their larger than life pictures. Looks and sounds lovely.
    You are right, I will never get over the support I received when Chloe passed away from the members of Pts. I know a lot of you have tried pts and found it cliquey. Im not active on there any more, a lot of stuff came out about "secret" splinter groups and information being withheld from regular members... all left a bitter taste. However, Ive referred in the past a few of you to read Chloe's thread and Ill do this now openly so if you did want to join them, its still free, I welcome you to read and you will see for yourselves... Chloe's thread is "my grown up baby girl" still on the first page of "family matters". I often re-read it myself and see how far I have come.

    Thats one of the reasons I have turned to you all now, for I know you won't judge me. Friends/Family in the real world unfortunately are not blessed with that quality.

    Thank you all from the bottom of my heart x
    Love, through the trees, past the sky, beyond the northern lights; and I won't let go. May your soul and spirt fly sweetheart x

    My alphabet-girls are with me every step of the way x

    Morning Everyone :)

    Had a bit of a shock yesterday. Took a packet of pork chops out of the freezer and popped them in the microwave to defrost. Seconds later the packet was on fire, still in the microwave but with flames arising from it:eek::eek:. Turned out it had a circular label on the packet saying "security protected" on it but underneath the label was a metal disc. Fotunately I was in the kitchen and was able to switch off the power straight away but don't know what would have happened if I hadn't been!

    DD2 takes her first 11+ exam tomorrow (no, NOT the glitching type! :rotfl::rotfl:)
    Hard to know if she is in with a chance of passing as all the scores are "standardised" so difficult to know what percentage she needs to get to pass. It all seems so secretive and complicated.

    Morning, really quick one from me but I was thinking about the Sada glitch last night and this morning - there's a part of me that can't help but think Sada either instigated it, or more likely used it to their advantage for a lot of press about the APG - which 'happened' to coincide with the launch of the new APG side. Now call me cynical but I'd love to know what the cost of all the 'free' advertising in the Mail, Sun etc would have really cost for the likes of full page adverts versus what they may / may not have lost in glitch shops (bearing in mind the margins they make on products). Seems an awfully big coincidence that they fix the glitch by simply removing multibuy comapres at exactly the same time as launching the new barcode APG site which was already planned.....
