Evening my lovelies,

Glad to see people made it through the day.

I spent more money again. It was on plants and bulbs and a very pretty hair comb. All from the good land of pound. Got some snow drops and tulips. Will make up some pots to go out the front of the house.

I got to see Ant man and had my steak lush.

I think I have finally got to grips with my makeup routine. And reckon the £4.99 I spent in some foundation is a better match than the woman with a electric thingy :rotfl: Mind you foundation was about £15 a bottle. just finished it and it has lasted me 10 and half months even putting it on nearly every day. So can't complain to much.

Got home and re-potted the plants I had bought. Did two bags of dirt. even though my back is killing me. And now I know stand back in amazement I am doing house work. But only because I want to clean up the plaster dust so got the hoover out and may as well do the other rooms at the same time. Don't think I will ever win housewife of the year :rotfl:I am crap at house work not sure why. Worse living on your own. I just think Pah only me and hardly any visitors so not much point.

Off to finish off the hoovering and get a hot water bottle for my back. And then watch something in netflix.

Yours

Calley

JM,

You have such talent. I did get a sax for a while. Should have taken lessons. but was not in the right place for it.

I must be feeling better. I am on another thread on his board about peoples time.

And people are ranting on about people who don't work should not take early morning and late afternoon appointments.

Normally when people start to have a go at me I have a go back. but I have been very calm and told them what has it to do with you when I have an appointment. I would normally take it personally and worry and not go back to the thread. But not tonight. Told them to take a chill pill and get on with it :rotfl:

Yours

It sounds a bit like 101 dalmatians outside this evening. There are dogs howling all over the place, sounds quite eerie. No idea what is going on but luckily Little Sod is oblivious.

Got a pile of wood to cut in to logs tomorrow. I'm quite looking forward to it, I like sawing!

Katy has a neighbour gnome and an escapee - and by the way, my first reading of the phrase " someone is trimming my bush" made me snigger like a teenager.......me and OH are absolutely terrible for sniggering at semi naughty words - lord help us if we are watching a programme about hard metals as we were the other night, after the voice said hard about 10 times (totally innocently referring to the metals) me and hubby were in fits!
!

Must admit, my first thought-flash was also tee-hee!.



:eek:I broke my own rule about using the term lurker! :eek:


So....rewind...........
Hello, Hummingbird Duke!




(Hummingbird, because they hover over the thread! So much nicer than the pervy-sounding 'lurker'!)

This is the regular repost of the etiquette:-

The thread etiquette will be reposted every ten or so pages.
........:starmod:......................................................................:starmod:.....................
Here is the suggested THREAD ETIQUETTE. By following this etiquette, all posters, whether new or existing, will feel safe, unpressured and respected..

- This is a thread for support. We have discovered some good friends on here, but we promise always to welcome and include new people, and not to be cliquey.

- People may make suggestions to help each other, and might even ask if the suggestions were helpful or have been carried out, but we'll really try not to nag each other or put too much pressure on.

- The normal board rules about sexism, racism, homophobia etc. apply, but if we are careful we should be able to discuss almost anything without breaching board rules - so far we have discussed subjects ranging from child abuse to incontinence!

-If someone thinks that too much pressure is being applied, they can post the trigger word PENGUIN and flag up the fact that they believe there's a potential for someone feeling too nagged to do something. ANYONE could post PENGUIN if they felt there was a danger that suggestions were being enforced too much.

Similarly, if they want to discuss something that might be a trigger for some people, then posting PENGUIN would be a warning that what follows in the whiteout might be a trigger.


- So, if you think something might be a PENGUIN, please post something like the green bit which follows.

"Possible penguin about.........(type of trigger)" The trigger might be:- child abuse, marital abuse/violence, paranoia, stalkers, death, etc.

Then, when you post, repost the word PENGUIN above the discussion. Then post the penguiny bit in white! And the phrase END OF PENGUIN when you have finished.

It will look like this. You will be able to see the white text if you highlight it or if you quote it, (so please don't 'quote' a post containing a penguin onto the thread!)
(Harmless example follows here):-
PENGUIN

This is a penguin. A nasty, crotch biting penguin (CBP).
It isn't really! So you can look. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozGTv0hxhpc[/url]


END OF PENGUIN

(NB on a tenth-page repost of the etiquette, you can see these penguiny words because they are white against the green 'quote' background. On a normal post, they will be white against white, and so won't be seen on the thread.)

IMPORTANT: It has been ascertained that some posters to this thread have found that there are certain subjects which act as triggers, precipitating a worsening of their condition.
To protect these posters, you are respectfully requested NOT to discuss these subjects on this thread:-

Religion. (Please note: it is recognised that everyone is entitled to their beliefs, and we respect those beliefs. It is only because of the fact that religion does act as a trigger for some posters, that we exclude it from discussion.)
N.B. Please don't even mention the name of the religion.

The afterlife. The reason for this is explained in this thread by one poster, and there will be others for whom this is a trigger.

We ask and thank you for your co-operation in this matter.


.........:starmod:.....................................................................:starmod:................

!!!******It should be pointed out that if anyone is feeling very distressed or close to a crisis, they do not have to worry about what they are posting, or whether it is a penguin for someone else or not. In a crisis situation, just post! We wouldn't want anyone to feel that they couldn't ask for help in case it's a penguin! The penguin thing only applies to a general discussion situation.******

- More suggestions please.............We stress that we are suggesting that we AGREE some Thread Etiquette to HELP people who might feel anxious about posting, we are not trying to IMPOSE rules, just relating this to facilitating groups, so that people feel safe and able to participate as fully as they can.
