    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

    Hi Beanie


    Sorry someone's upset you, some people just don't think before they type.

    Glad to hear you got out and got some positive energy though.

    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!

    I agree completely with what Jwil has said. Please don't worry Beanie. You are such a lovely helpful person and everyone knows it :).

    I hope you're having a good weekend so far :).

    I posted on a PPI thread but there seem to be several so I'm wondering if I posted on the right one :o.
