    Hi Everyone,

    I wanted to say a big thankyou to you all for your support and advice and for making me feel so welcome on here.

    And to tell you all..........my friend phoned me this morning. I was so relieved, so happy, I cried, she cried, so overwhelmed.

    She has had family problems, and had not told me. I wish she had because that's what friends are for, even if she just wanted to be alone I would have understood.

    She took her frustration out on me. She was so apologetic, so upset.
    But I completely understand how she feels, and I have told her I am here for her also.

    So we are back talking, laughing, gossiping, what we do best.;)

    Thankyou everyone.

    Pills thats wonderful news for you,so glad your friend rang you to explain :)

    Katie :)

    hello everyone. I'm sorry I've not been posting here very often lately, I have been feeling very low and have not really wanted to drag anyone else down or anything. After my uncle died, it was a very horrible week but I am feeling better now. I got back to university yesterday for my final year (which is VERY scary) so i'm just getting everything sorted.
    I hope everyone is okay, and forgive me for not being around.

    Do you know what's happened to FTN? Virgin1 is now 20, and FTN used to was. And I liked Gladiators!

    I was reliving my childhood! I remembered it all, but I was still pleased when Eunice won the 1994 season :)

    Girls are gonna love the way I toss my hair. Boys are gonna hate the way I seem.

    I would rather drown with you than watch the surf with someone else
