Hi needcoffee I didn't see your post there earlier, it did this the other day too! Yes you did say that I remember. He is a knob. I don't care. Honest. So he is bad mouthing me to everyone - so what. Sigh. The truth will out.

TBH I have found this whole experience has really highlighted what great people I had around me stood on the sidelines desperate to help that I was keeping at arms length. I get all emotional when I think how much people (including people on here as well as RL) have helped me, even just emotionally. I feel very lucky and much stronger knowing I have these wonderful kind people in my corner supporting me.

it was about tea towels etc....very exciting

am goign to email you again tomorrow (Sunday) late on so if you can check your email on Monday sweetie

Hi stressed I have CAT , tried to CAT NannaNina and it said she needs to change her settings, sure she will pop back on when she gets chance.

Can't remember seeing an email from you - will go have a look, my head has been all over the place this week so I may have opened it and then not read it or something.

Hi ATA, I just knew Ex would do that, mine did the same even though I hardly took anything. Can't remember if I said that down the thread, thats why you should havew taken more as you'll be accused of it anyway.

Stressed, I think ATA does already have Cat, I'm sure she catted me a few weeks ago

Also I am sure you have already done this but have you posted a request for what you need on your local baord on here - I am sure if anyne can help on it they would.

ATA how about this - I have contact a mumsnetter. I will post Nananina and she can then get my email address and can send me hers which I will then forward to you (I hage yours).

Alternativeky if ATA you do not have the contact a mumsnetter facility I will pay the £5 for you and get you signed up so you can contact NanaNina direct. This may be a better option as this will allow you to "contact" via the service any MNers - which may be helpful for you in future.

Just let me know what you would like me to do and I will do it.

How have you got on with freecycle?

I did email you about 3 days ago but no response since then.

cheers xxx

Don't have those words on my screen anywhere attila (maybe we have different software) but don't worry I posted the question in chat and have solved it now - all back to normal.

Hi ATA

Go to View (this should be on a toolbar on your computer page on the left hand side next to File and Edit) and click on this then scroll down to text size. Click on that and you can alter the setting to medium. All should be well then.

Hi everyone, DS has been on my computer today (he likes to look through pictures on google images for hours on end ) and has made my computer weird! Everything is bigger, all my tool bars and fonts and everything are huge! Any ideas how to get them back to normal??

Have just tried to chill out again today, although am riled as ex seems to be making out to everyone I have cleanced him out which is far far far from the truth! I have no washer, oven, beds, etc. I have a breakfast bar and sofa which were kindly donated to me by friends, if we weren't given those DS and I would be sitting and eating on the floor - and he has everyone feeling sorry for him!!

As you can see NannaNina, and I'm sure you will remember from your own situation - I am in no place to turn down offers of help. I am finding this hard TBH but am getting there. As for logistically how we can 'talk' am not sure, maybe I could put an email address in a post and then ask MNHQ to delete it once I know you have read it? I find it really inspiring that you went on to help in opening a refuge with friends and went into social work. I am thinking of retraining / going further with my education so that I have a more satisfying and better paid job to help me and DS stand on our own two feet. I have only recently stopped working due to DS and childcare not mixing, worked from 14 and miss the independence, confidence and finances it brings!

Hi Nana Nina

Just happened to click on this and read your message.

What you need to do is "log in" to Mumsnet. You need to go to the "Home" page and type in your user name and password (you can see "log in" at the top of the page). Once logged in you then go back to ATA's details and then click on Contact a Poster. It then gives details and info on how to use the CAT facility (they charge £5 a year for this service which is paid for by credit card. I have personally used WorldPay in the past and they are completely fine).
