    Extremely rude and especially upsetting to read since Soolin herself has just been involved in a serious car accident on Friday.

    I agree there was nothing patronising about Soolin`s post. Angelcake.. I can see that the thread has upset you but you are not feeling well, you`re hormonal and worried about your pregnancy so you are probably more sensitive than you would normally be. I was unwell during my pregnancy and looking back realise I let things bother me too much. Concentrate on getting well. (This is sincere... not patronising);)
    I have had brain surgery - sorry if I am a little confused sometimes ;)

    Yes divadee, I agree..... I don't think that soolin would have meant to cause any offence to ANYONE... so lets leave it at that can we..? Especially if she is not here to defend herself. I hope she's ok.

    I thought that this board is meant for support and advice, not to rant about members, and I would suggest that if anyone has a problem with each other to post each other rather than have it on public display.
    As I have said before, it's difficult sometimes to take typing in the tone that it is meant.

    'Nough said. Treat people how you want to be treated. Life is too short. ( Definately sincere )

    Angel, last year I had preg probs too. i think you are feeling very sensitive because of your condition and your worry. Take heart, regular ebayers know the genuine from the non, and no ones having a dig at you here.
    I ave a dodgy H, so sometimes I will sound dead common, on occasion dead stupid and rarely, pig ignorant. Sometimes I may be these things, but I will always blame it on my dodgy H.

    Sorry, I'm a bit of a grumble weed today, no offence intended ... well it might be, but I'll be sorry.

    oops hadn't quite finished and I clicked, meant to click on msn on tool bar.

    Anyhoo, to continue, keep your chin up, it'll all be worth it in the end. The worry and hospital visits are hell, but your beautiful baby will vanquish all of that.

    Don't forget to keep us posted as to your well being and your baby.

    oh and I too though soolin was supportive not patronising.

    Hope her recovery is swift.

    I haven't felt up to contributing much to the board recently but I wanted to say that I never meant my original post to be patronising and would apologise wholeheartedly in public to Angel if she reads it that way.

    As someone who lost 5 babies and had lots of lenghty stays in hospital when I did carry a baby to term I know how stressful it can all be.

    As always, my thoughts and I think those of everyone, are with Angel.
