    Dear SD,
    I don't post here very often as I don't feel like I have a lot to say. I am new and don't have a lot to contribute but I am around most of the time and have read all your posts. I didn't feel like I could read and not respond to this one. I really, really feel for you. What you are coping with from The Beast would have tipped me over the edge ages ago. You really must be a saint. You are doing the absolute best thing by finding him a loving home. As far as those animal rescue people are concerned please try to remember what it says in someone's signature (sorry forgotten who!) but I think it's a great mantra to hold on to, it's along the lines of 'remember opinions are not facts, listen to them but then move on'. They don't know you and your situation. You must do what is best for you and ultimately for The Beast. I think your son must be very proud of you and your strength. Even if he is too young now to see it, he definitely will look back when he is older and marvel at the way you are dealing with things. I hope you don't feel that I am intruding. I just wanted you to know that even though we don't know each other, I am thinking of you and actually you are an inspiration. Please don't stay away. I have seen that there are other people on here who care about you very much and your posts may just help other people to know that they are not alone in their problems and maybe help them to cope better with what they are going through. I know that sometimes other people's problems can help me to put mine in perspective a bit. Thank you for sharing with us and please know that you have certainly helped me. I will go back into (mostly) lurkdom now but hope to contribute more when I am able.
    Love and hugs xxx

    Thank you for your kind words, please don't lurk, it doesn't help anyone.

    Thanx.
    Just been to local Ts and no such thing (I made out I'd lost something at the checkout earlier so had a good old nose around :D )
    Hopefully it's nationwide and the rest of the stores just haven't put the booklet out yet.

    Did not want to read and run. I am a lurker and you have made me "come out". I am not good with words and Mummyv and others have said better, what I wanted to say.

    I have had times when i've been so down that I've thought of doing the worst. Its the most painful thing. AND, with a broken arm, you can put plaster on it and people can see your arm is broken. BUT with a broken heart/depression/feeling very very low - people can't see it. You can hide it and nobody would know.

    I remember a friend of mine once ringing me up and telling me: hey - you don't know what is around the corner. Think of all the wonderful people you have yet to meet and think of all the lovely things you are yet to do!

    That sort of stuck with me. BUT I still get really really low days. Sometimes, I can't even see where the dark cloud comes from!

    On another note, I think you are fab. I love reading your posts. You have helped me more than you will know.

    Also, you have so many people on here who adore you.

    Take care, and stay safe.

    Thank you.

    Hi guys, hope all is well.
    I havent had a chance to catch up today so not sure if its already been reported.
    T's had some reduced duvets last week. They have now been reduced to clear- single duvets £2.50, double duvets £3.00 and kingsize £3.50. They had zebra print ones in my t's and a pretty blue flower design one as well. The silentnight electic blankets have been reduced to £6.25 for single and £8.75 kingsize. T's hotel range are £6.50 upwards. Silentnight single fleecy mattress protectors are 3.00.
    They also have reduced some of the home frangrance bits - pot pourri £1.62 and the Rees diffusers are £2.12
    Well worth a nosy x

    Will catch up with you all in a bit x
