Great news, welcome to you Northern. Thank you.

Thank you Jamie, I feel uncomfortable about the current climate and feel twice shy either posting my own things or responding where I may otherwise have done for fear of it becoming inflamed. I would imagine that I don't speak for myself there too. I have never felt like that in the 12 years I have ...

I too have gained so much from Havoca - have had a Standing Order for a long time now. I will increase it just now as have just managed to reduced my gas tariff - and realise that in direct proportion to what I pay to see my counsellor/therapist I can increase it for the value proportion (if that ma...

Hey Sunshine Smile, please don't apologise - there's no need. I read the humour in your post and didn't think anything of it more than how you meant it. Is it ok if I pop round with a bottle of wine, a bunch of flowers and a box of chocolates? Not at all! Totally no need for that! Although if you ju...

Made me sad for myself earlier when I saw that. I know i post more than reply. Makes me feel like a bit of a saddo and very needy. I guess there's probably a better spin I could put on it. Hey ho. :( Just added another! CA x ca x PS Very grateful to have the opportunity and wonder where all those wo...

I like that.. sounds perfectly straightforward too....
I be interested to see what others think

Hold on a sec, I do see how a pin with no name can help. It's like on Gumtree when only part of the sellers phone number is shown. If you want to buy (therefore ring the person) you have to click on a button marked 'reveal' to show their full number. I know that sounds a bit odd - because granted an...

thank you for 'getting' this Jamie and sorry i ranted. it was a collision of a great need to find comfort in the Havoca Oasis coupled with the feeling of not only being out of control - but being controlled and made to say something i didnt want to.... thought it wise maybe to show my 'workings out'...

Frankly, i have just gone blue with rage on this. why have i had access to the site disabled until i join a poll i dont want to and dont have any opinion about? There should have been a 'dont mind' option. Or i should have been allowed to go through to posts alone. To not allow me to be able to acce...

wishing you all the very best on your 'long walk' Carrie and looking forward to keeping up with your news along the way... how very exciting....
Keep yourself well and take care.

I feel ashamed of myself for saying it but I've had to vote no. ah hey elise, no need to be ashamed of expressing how you feel. I voted no too. it's horses for courses and it is all very dependent on your place in your own journey apart from your personality. I am the same in never having said what...

i said no because to me its still something i feel very anxious about putting a face or identity to and i still have issues even accepting it. judgement, bla bla

hmmm no, not for me - far too scary.

it is illegal to rattle a tin as it is deemed by law to constitute begging. if you have a tin you mustnt shake it. you need council permission for the day(s) you wish to collect on the streets. probably better as you say carrie- in a salon but maybe to do a name the teddy where you make a sheet of s...

wow Carrie - I am very impressed and proud of you! You go girl. I will be thinking of you every step of the way and will send some sponsor money. I greatly admire your courage doing this - shows a point you are at in your journey i feel. Well done - achievement indeed! I hope you'll take a few pics ...

Count me in as well if not too late...
