    You did say there was something bothering you late last night. I am so sorry about your situation but pleased you have finally got it off your chest.
    We all have different situations to bear. Yes unfortunately there is a great deal of ill health but we all found this thread to help us financially (initially).

    We are hear to help and support everyone with whatever problem they have so if you need to spill or rant please do so.

    I know what you are trying to explain. Whatever problems each of us face, no one's problems are less or more important to them.

    Stick around and post more so we can get to know you better. Always some light relief in the evenings and music and bilge at the weekends.
    If you need to rant then please do as sometimes just putting it down in words can help.
    I know this thread has not only helped me save money but also become more aware of prices and able to handle what money I have better.
    I also finally feel I belong somewhere which is such a comfort.

    If only MSE had been around when I was younger I don't think I would have been so naïve financially. I think nowadays there is so much more information available and (most) people are much more savvy.

    Right, onwards and upwards, cheerful hat back on now!! :)

    Just clicked back on to emails and Tosca Panels are sending me some bubble bath to test and there is nothing makes me happier than a long soak!! :j

    havent been on here for months and its nice to see some of the same people are still here chasing bargains!
    Dont know if I'll be able to partake, because of time, but I bet I've missed a few good ones!
    Have just agreed with my boss a 3 month sabbatical from work, as my son is about to start radiotherapy for a cancerous brain tumour, and there is no way I can work and get him to all his appointments. Plus I'm exhausted and stressed from the last 3 months of surgery, appointments, scans, physio, adjusting to having a son with a limp to a son who struggles to walk and has epilepsy.
    Well done Logie on the money raising, sounds like you are doing well healthwise (I've only read a page or two)?

    Best wishes all xx

    So sorry to hear this, glad to hear you got an understanding boss and you are going to be around to help him out. (sending you all hugs) :A

    Evening all:A

    I don't post very often but want to send hugs out to those that need them. Don't ever think that your problems are trivial. They are important to you. Just wanted to say that.

    I do try to keep up but sometimes I am just to poorly to be bothered. I did an APG shop yesterday. Think its the first this year so now I have to go out and recycle. Need to go back and see whats new.

    Thanks to everyones hard work. You are all amazing.:A

    . I do think a chaise lounge is a good description of you though. Stylish yet comfortable and laid back :)

    May the odds be ever in your favour;)
