    great, this thread has gone to pot again

    i agree with catowen and the rest, last night while being fun was a bit ott, if you dont agree, tough

    this is oldstyle thread where we post what os things we are doing, not a thread for flirting etc

    martyn, while i know u need support at the mo, maybe this isnt the thread to do it on, the arms/dt are there for that very reason, if its os related then fair enough, i am for one can not read every post for 11 pages plus as i just dont have the time:rolleyes:

    people dont mention me much but that doesnt matter, for me the internet is a lifeline to me as i dont have offline friends/much of a life, so lets keep to the topic, please:D and chill people:p

    There is no need to bring last night into it anymore cause we have all moved on from it. We all know the rules. People posting about it will just get other people upset/reminded even tho it was only a bit of fun.

    Big hug - you put things beautifully.

    Martyn

    Nice to see you.

    catowen

    Don't make the old style posse come after you to drag you back - because we have different ways of looking at things does not make it enemy action and you would be missed as would csarina and anyone else feeling this way.

    Thanks for asking about my arm - it is much better and I even had a couple of dressings left to use on DD's knee today when she fell over!!!

    Need to go and put duvet on the bed as have been meaning to do that for the last three hours!

    big hug to all and see you later

  • Martyn - good to see you back. We have freshly made chocolate cake here at the moment, the smell is wafting past my nose. I will send you a "virtual" slice....

    Tesco is definitely the cause of deep trauma, I think you should sit down with a nice cuppa/stiff drink to help recover from it.

    Triage - welcome too - and I'm fairly sure there are quite a few threads on this board - I know SammyKaye has got one about managing on £100 a month (but there's less of them!). Can't give any links as (1) I'm not that technically clever and (2) I don't know which threads they are.... Good luck though :)

    Mortgage-free Glee!
    Evening All. Am feeling absolutely shattered - and none of you has found my keys! I'm sure you're not looking properly (too busy chasing certain males, I bet!) Is it St Anthony I ought to be asking? Seriously, am getting a wee bit worried as we seem to have looked everywhere now!
    Am hoping the next two days go by quickly - the long w/e seems to have made all of us at school demob happy - and yes it's the staff I mean!
    Smoky, will be thinking of you specially tomorrow - hope the day passes well for you all.
    Resolution:
    Think twice before spending anything!

    Hello everyone
    Ages since I have been on --- but I have been keeping up with you all
    my fault I have missed my waves.

    "Dont walk in front of me I may not be able to follow
    Dont walk behind me I may not be able to lead.
    Walk beside me and be my friend."

    Thinking of you all -- happy thoughts to all those celebrating and gentle thought to all those in need especially right now to Smokey.

    Dont let all the goodness in this vitual friendship group go to waste. Sending love to you all.

    Also made the most delicious brocoli stuffed pancakes for tea and they were nearly free !!!!
    Try and do a good deed every day.
