We all need to be heard for a little while.

Corgi was getting lonely on the other thread, so I've moved him to this one!

Would just like to point out that if you have (Git)dogs in the fort, you are unlikely to still have biscuits.
I am ready for the weekend. I am torn between the lazy relaxed weekend I feel I need, and the state of the house which will make me cross with myself if I don't do something about it. Plus I should probably start on the qualifications I need for the job, a lot of which I need to do in my own time.
On a slightly happier note, poorly abroad relative has finally made it home and is currently en-route to a hospital near his home. Apparently he was so tightly swaddled in blankets, panic attacks were staved off as he couldn't move a muscle - must have been comforting for him somehow.

Sorry to hear that Melly, do the medics know what's causing her collapses?

Well i guess it's neither a rant or a vent, but i will say that i've never been very good at opening up about certain things - especially on internet forums, even more so on public forums :eek:.

I'll hopefully drip feed how things are, or i could end up writing a disertation :rotfl:.

But for starters, i was sitting in St Pancras earlier today (i'll go into why i was there at some other point) - anyway, whilst sitting there i suddenly felt invisible & felt more alone than ever - it was not very nice .

Helloooooo everyone, found you! Well done WaS - I feel a bit guilty now. I wanted you to be the first post on the thread, but I'm very sorry if it was stressful doing it.

I've PM'd Glad now, so she will lock the old thread but it will still be there if anyone wants to read it again (or a first time, for newbies!)

Welcome dragonette! Nice to hear from another new person

I have an exciting weekend planned, so won't be around much. Tomorrow I'm going up to the place where I play a lot of music, and becoming part of a team who will make about 120lb of marmalade for the coming season. On Sunday I'm off to a trade fair related to match betting - always a good laugh! So apologies in advance if I'm a bit quiet.

I'll drop off a large box of virtual chocs at the duvet fort before I go, though

Edited to add: Poor LSF! That's a horrid feeling, I know. The only way I know to combat it is to look around for another lost soul who also looks like that, and smile at them. Establish a connection.

Can I ask about your avatar? I can't see it very clearly but it looks beautiful, and as if it is the opposite of your post. To me it looks like a whole lot of hands, signifying the way we are all interconnected (it's probably something quite different though!)

If you're careful about identifying information, the beauty of an anonymous public forum is that you can say things you may not be able to say to the people around you in real life. Which can be a helpful source of support.
However if you then start posting pictures of very identifiable pets, you blow your anonymity out of the water.:o You just need to double check before you post, if it's a bit sensitive.

Another Lost Soul - I'd hate to think there was someone else in that position.

As for the avatar, maybe it's not as it appears - i'll see if i can insert it into message so you can see it a bit more clearly.

Thanks for your reply & hope you a great weekend, sounds interesting.
