    I just cant get the other thing out of me head for some reason:( xx

    It's probably because it came from nowhere. The red button had been pressed and we were at defcon 1 before we knew it :rotfl: I am actually laughing about the reaction now, I wish you could.

    Also because you know and everybody else knows you've only ever had best interests at heart. xx

    I don't think it was aimed at you Beanie. Everyone knows you were trying to help. I don't think you (or anyone else) should be bothered about it. No one can tell you what to post or not.

    I can understand the sentiment, but it was perhaps worded a little strongly and I don't think it was meant to be aimed at anyone in particular.

    I agree with you that if something can be done that the pressure should be kept up, but I also agree with the other poster that if nothing can be done it should be let go and let things take their course. I don't know how the system works so can't comment on which view should be taken forward.

    I'm glad you are feeling better and well done on clearing the ottoman! I can seriously relate to having too much stuff!

    Morning Beanie. Hope you feel a bit better about things today. Are you having a quiet day in or have you got plans? xx

    I'm just a lurker of many diaries and have no idea about this post business but I can recognize I'd be doing the similar worrying and everyone would be telling me to stop :) I always find a good walk does me good. And I will also follow the wise words of others and advise to stop worrying :)

    Hope you recover from cough exhaustion soon - those sorts of things just really make me tired for a few days after recovery too. x

    I have been chanting.
    I really struggled to go but someone very kindly came & picked me up & took me.
    Although I chant at home I always feel that chanting in a big group is powerful & gives me a wee lift.
    I am still very tired & my balance & walking are dire xx

    I'm really glad you managed to get out and especially to something with like minded people that gives you a lift. I hope you chanted a lot out of your system ;) I will be doing the same tomorrow although in a different establishment :) xx

    Oh Beanie you are the kindest and most supportive person on these boards and I am sorry someone's clumsy words have made you feel differently. I honestly don't think they were aimed at you. You go out of your way to help others both publicly and privately and everyone knows that. You are one lovely person xxxx
