I do my best to keep this thread on track but TBH it is getting to be a nightmare lately. All the aggravation and arguments, bickering and unpleasant comments will only lead to the thread being CLOSED, possibly permanently, if it continues. <shakes head>

Redfox can you not reconsider allowing a dedicated APG thread? That would solve most of the issues IMO.

So a tout is informer to the police, your offering me over. I guess informers get beaten up for helping the police

How nice, i see that as a personally attack.

Had an afternoon of thinking, inbetween life and a's!

I havent posted too much lately due to moving, and house stuff etc but have read every post and taken advantage of glitches.

The last few weeks i have seen tempers fly and nasty words said or offence taken at smilies, people being what i concider a little short with constant repetative questions and so forth. To the point it gets a little disheartening to be bothered.

Today, i did what i thought was a nice jesture and Anyway, ive seen loads of ahhh and so sweets about the toys i am sending to trisha, and my post got more thanks than ive ever had!

I did it because i simoly thiught it would be nice to help someone less fortunat than myself. I know trisha wont take offence at this comment.

I, like most normal people have had some horrible stuff in my life. I spent 18months in hospital at 14 due a crumbled spine, had to learn to walk again and missed school. But worked hard and got all b's in gcse's.

I was in a crappy marriage, with a child, the ex dragged me through court for 12 yrs (very complicated stuff) which culminated in ds1 being abducted by his dad, the. Finally taken into care for rehabilitation as he was abused mentally and physcologically by his dad. I didnt see my son for 2 yrs but eventually got him back and his dad is not allowed to have any contact with him apart from letters 12 times a year, which he has never done.

Inbetween times, i became homeless for a short time until i picked myself up, got a job and then a flat. I met the most wonderful person in the world who showed me kindness i thought not possible. He took on me and my child and we havent looked back. I am now in a comfortable position with everything i need (not want, you can never have too many holidays!)

Without the support of my family and friends i would have crumbled. Some of the support i got from people on here was overwhelming.

Life has taught me a lot of lessons. If someone says something i constuct as nasty. I am never nasty back, and i always try to consider the situation before saying anything. Dont get me wrong, i have a gob and half on me if anyone is horrible to my family or friends without need.

In hospital, i was in a pretty bad way, but, there was always someone worse than me.

Through court, it could have been worse. My son had rehabilitation, and most of all, the love and nurturing he needed to go on to be a wonderful son.

What im babbling on about is, lets get back to being a lovely helpful community without the sniping and taking things at face value. Lets help not hinder. If someone does something nice for you. Do something nice for someone else. Even if its a stranger.

Well said.:)
My Dad always said treat others as you would like them to treat you. He was a good honourable man and if i manage to be half the person he was i would consider myself luckly.

A month today it will be two years since we lost him to mesothelioma, asbestos cancer. love and miss you Dad.
Sorry dont know where that come from:(

Nikkilala has always been about the spirit of the thread and has found/shared lots of glitchy items

It's not all about any one particular person. It never has been.

So what she just posted was in the spirit of the thread?

Thank you Redfox

Sadly, some people just read the posts they want to see and ignore the truly constructive posts like this one

Maybe we can keep requoting your post throughout the evening/night so that EVERYONE gets the message

Hit 2 stores today got trouted at first by a rather snooty sa who refused my 16+ apg from last week, sv comes over say sorry can't take any over £15 orders from HO, I said could you check as this is from before the cap was introduced, suspended transaction off to cs while they phoned asda house. 5 mins later yeah ok to put it through. Snooty sa lady said it won't be happening anymore, I thought yeah it will as my other 2 shops will prove:rotfl:

2nd store was funny me and OH 2 shops, OH puts apg's on checkout while scanning and packing, sa just says 'oh someones been taking advantage of the glitch' I said 'I beg your pardon' with a big smile
anyway 2 sub £15 vouchers used no probs, however refused to give receipts back as needed for proof, was told this morn he had to keep them.

might be an idea, yes. The more people that see it, the better because if the bickering and nastiness continues, the thread will be closed.
