I blame Paggy. Once she tilted her head it opened the floodgates for all manner of niceness.

Terrible state of affairs.

[EElisavetaofBelsornia]

Oh FFS. I had a thread a while ago in which 100s ofumsnetters not only held my hand but gave me a virtual hug. It got me through one of the worst times of my life. If you don't like it, don't read the threads.

[EmmanuelWoganberry]

Well, I’m impressed if people can change their pants with only one free hand.
