If I don't make it back tonight have a great evening and be safe and warm

See you soon Bee. Stay safe.

Good Evening Everyone

Hi Boo, Hi Lea, how was the holiday? we were all thinking about you, and if you got off ok - it must be horrid to come back to this!

Evening BG.

Bee, I can understand you don't want to miss work, but the way things are, it's pretty much out of your hands really.

BOO I read about Craxton Wood

Zoonster! How are you? I've been reading about your New Years Eve and this evenings exploits! Hope you are all OK

Craxton Wood was lovely! The best part though - one of the therapists was off sick , so we get to go back again for a treatment that we had to miss and get to use all the facilities again! Yay!

Snow here has been pretty miserable - took OH 3hrs to get from Wrexham to home - shoud only take about half and hour. Took my sister even longer to do a journey that in normal circumstances is about 15 mins. Nightmare!

I have a bit of a message to put on the Gift Registry thread, but don't want it to stay long,, so will post and then edit it out.

Read it.
Have to admit I spied some awkward things about that...

BG hope the cold it not playing havoc with you

Well, since I don't have to get out the house, I'm fine. But I do feel it's freezing outside. They've forcasted frost and bad weather for the next 2 weeks over here, which can't be good...

Thanks again for the advice the other day: I rose (you know, rise, the past tense lol) above all the drama of someone inviting herself over... But have to tell she was the one that made a lot of drama on NYE.

Oh dear! What happened?

[Zoonie 0]

Thanks I'll be removing my message from the G/R soon. I just got a message in PS too saying he's sad to be removed from the group - however, frankly, and seeing as it's a firm rule here to have a valid FB link, I'm not happy that someone has a link with a nom de plume, even listing siblings as those from a novel, and clearly has no real content to their FB - to me that's as bad as having no real link, as it's no real identity.

Some people don't want to give a lot away to friends they make through a game, and that's fair enough, but at least be genuine - especially in a group like this.


Added to which I don't like bad manners, or lies - why ask for G/R help when you're active on Facebook?

Well, nothing I caused or someone else... She was let me call it - overemotional. She cried various times that night, made a lot of drama about some mail that has gotten here (and not at her place) and had a huge fight with her BF (I talked to the guy, he really didn't know what to do anymore). He's gone now for the next couple of days, he said it was a big relief for him to be out the house for a while. Not sure how things will evolve from now on.

Thanks I don't want to make a big issue, but thought I should explain ignoring a request on the Gift Registry.
Glad you agree B.

Nope I don't think I have them, I borrowed one earlier, for my new fiendish spot the difference comp 8)

I can't say what, but I did notice strange things going on with him, I also noticed the warning thing, so that was enough for me to know.

Then check your dooooor!!!

Oh blimey - sounds like a fun night! Well, you'll just have to watch and see!

Sorry - I was on the phone to my sister talking about her epic 6 hour trip home that covers less than 5 miles!

[Zoonie 0]

Crikey Boo, what part of the country?
that's worse than our transport problems!

Just looked up to the dark outside, and there's a lot of snow fallen on the Christmas tree right by our window EEK!

BG, sweetie thank you.

Night Marie, see you soon Bee x

About 15 minutes from me under normal road circumstances Zoonie! There was grid lock on the roads here from about lunch time onwards. She left work at 2.30pm and walked in the door at about 8.15pm!

Fun indeed :idontthinkso:
She's been here tonight. Didn't even say a word, just sat there in the sofa. Ate. Went home. Asked Mom what was going on, she didn't know, she did not dare to ask (think she wasn't in the mood for some snapping).

That's long!!!

I'm afraid to look outside now. Animals are staying inside and I can feel upstairs that it's getting colder outside. Got my extra heater running.

You're very welcome, if I get something else, I'll send it your way!

Oh crikey! Well, if she's not going to talk about it then no-one will be able to offer any support or help to her.

So sorry hope you are still here, had to run kids will not settle down because of the snow!! ( we only see it every few years and even then no more than an inch) its now very thick and getting heavier!

Not quite sure if the expression fits here, but she's kind off digging her own grave. She said horrible things to Mom (which she ignored, probably for the best) and really wasn't being friendly to us (talking about NYE and tonight)... I have to admit it's reaching it's final drop. She will always have our support and someone to talk to, but there's a limit on what we can have too.

I know how that feels, she sounds very like my sister. Can't take her frustrations out on anyone else so she's mean to all of you. You do the right thing to ignore it, sometimes it really isn;t worth the effort of responding.

It's hard to see her struggle, but we've reached many ways to help her and talk to her, but if she snaps at you the entire time... I was really amazed by the stories her BF told me and about a couple of her reactions towards Mom, it didn't seem like her at all. I know her well enough to predict that if we ask up front what's going on, she'll just start crying and say 'nothing'

Long story short: there's something wrong with my sister and no one has a clue. We're here for her, and she knows, that's all I can offer at the moment. I can ask someone once what's going on, even twice or three times, but at one point I get tired of asking whenever you get 'nothing' as an answer (and it's obvious there's something going on).

It's so hard - but there will come a point where she wants to talk and until then you really just have to ride it out and wait for her to feel like she wants to let you in a little bit. Frustrating in the meantime but you will be there when she needs you.

Absolutely agree. It is very frustrating, but patience is something beautiful to have.

Sweeties, I have to go now, I'm starting to get a headache and feeling very sleepy.

But before I go, I'd like to mention there's a 'how well do you know Bunny Girl' quiz running (a quiz about... me! lol) in the competition section. It runs until Jan 10th, so if you want to have a go, don't wait too long (and it's not too hard, plus you are allowed to read other people's answers : D)

[Zoonie 0]

Night BG, I agree with Boo, I recommend you all carry on as usual and be yourselves. If she wants to come to you, let her in her own time.
Perhaps if she sees this, she wont be so uncaring towards your mum!


Boo/Boogs, why don't you go out late, make snowballs and put them in the freezer - wait, no point - it's colder outdoors!

hmm... that's... different... usually they act out at pubirty...

just "let her be". there is nooo point trying to "reason" her... Communicate with her and try indirect ways to aproach her and find out what's going on...

sorry for poping btw..

Don't be sorry, just be a part of it

BTW this is really slow for C&G, I think lots of people got waylaid in the big move and some still haven't got back to normal after the whole Christmas/New Year Season.

It doesn't happen very often which is why it is annoying when it does! I was using IE which crashed about every 10 minutes! Firefox has been an absoloute revelation.
