    Hi friends,
    Just a little *hello* to say thanks to everyone for their very sweet, kind and encouraging words-It's so lovely to know I have such a great bunch of friends-I just wish you all lived closer!
    so do I!
    I'm feeling ok today-not all weepy like I was. I also am looking forward to having my own house etc and standing on my own 2 feet for a while, strange I know!
    no, not strange, it means you have made the right decision and are ready to move on
    I've been on entitled to and it looks like I'll get by on CTC, WTC and HB (and still working 30 per week) and I've seen a few houses close by the kids school which is great. Everyone keeps asking if I'll stay in the house but in a way, I want my 'own' place (rented) because I just want it to be mine!!! Does that make sense?
    makes perfect sense. You'll be able to get your head straight.
    Anyway, thank you all again and I dont know how much I'll be online for the next little while-I have friends coming to visit, work and Virgin parties all now until Thurs...
    you party animal, you....;)
    I've said it before, and I'm sure I will again, but I don't know what I'd do without you all, and this forum xxxx

    we're all here for you and you know where we all are - whether on MSE, MSN email , text or phone xxxx

    aaaaaawwwwwwwww, thankyou jacs xx

    I have had comments in the past - I know there was 1 job I didn't get years ago and also at least 2 parts in plays. I've seen threads on overweight women on other forums and there were some vicious comments (not MSE, although, thinking about it, in the MSE Arms I have) and so I think - that's what people really think. I guess though, people can be nasty behind a computer - there's a lot of bravado.

    its not just weight though is it, people will always find a reason to be nasty be it you have a large nose, big boobs,buck teeth,even ginger hair,bollox to them.
    your real friends will always love you for what you are and true friends will never ever make you feel crappy and worthless!!!

    They're obviously blind then - you're very pretty, with gorgeous eyes and lovely hair.

    You just need to believe in yourself and let yourself be stunning.
