    Oh no, no, no Beanie, you're absolutely not going to be allowed to go down that route. I know you're not a horrible person and so does everybody else on here. Do not think that you are for one moment.

    Delurking to agree, you are not a horrid person.

    You are always giving support and advice to others even when you are not in a great space yourself.

    beanielou of the thousands of people on this forum you are the one person who makes the effort to welcome everyone, new and old, with a new debt free diary. You are the person who is always around encouraging, cheering on and just generally being supportive. Horrid is neither the first, last nor anything in between, word I would use to describe you. For me, you've been there from the start. You are the kindest, most compassionate person here.

    Chin up, get tripping the bad guys with that stick ;)

    Sorry you had a dire day. You are not horrid at all, always so kind and encouraging. Can't believe someone/something would make you think that beanie?

    Oodles of virtual hugs, gin and maltesers winging their way to you. I do hope that the universe will pass by you with the rotten stuff for a while (forever would be good).

    Hi Beanie :) Are you feeling a bit better today?

    Hope everything that so many lovely people on here have said about you outweighs the few horrible people/comments you've had the misfortune to come across lately and goes some way to making you feel a bit happier in yourself. xx
