I've nicked a title, opened the door, dusted off the bar.

Come in and drown your sorrows, celebrate or just hang out in good company.

A bit early for anything stronger than a coffee so am settling down in a corner with a cappuccino to ponder what possible connections there might be between the Jubilee weekend and the many zombie threads that are being resurrected round these parts...

just sneaking in to quietly order a fruity cider in thread 1 strawberry and lime I think. Love you all and close to tears with it all. JD v AH has hit me hard. How very dare we...

Sheesh Detroit, you've caused me to unlurk. And that hasn't happened for a loooong time.

Absolutely thrilled to hear your news. Utterly, utterly wonderful.

While I'm here, I'll have a pint of gin, easy on the tonic. That DH peaked thread pissed me off mightily too.

Had we better move on to the next incarnation of the pub before this one runs out of room?

You got it! Cheers Detroit!

DetroitNeedsADog · 27/08/2021 17:52

Sparkling water, straw no glass, no lemon please darling! It has been a bit tough in the shelter, but here I am! Counting down the days....and I get to stay in the city!

Olderbadger1 · 27/08/2021 17:24

Detroit!!!!!!! Yeeeee-hiiii! Grin Flowers Grin

How glorious to see you here - pull up a chair (and yes, please avoid the camel). Fabulous fabulous news... What can I get you?

And for anyone who hasn't met Detroit, I recommend you pull up a chair too - she's one hell of a story-teller and has one hell of a story.

DetroitNeedsADog · 27/08/2021 17:24

(whispers) ...can I just say a certain friend if mine deserves a medal. ....and cake and at least 6 budvars?

DetroitNeedsADog · 27/08/2021 17:21

...I'm trying to pick out beds...I think I need tea! The shelter won't let you cook or make hot drinks. I've been smuggling potatoes and tea for almost a year!

DetroitNeedsADog · 27/08/2021 17:19

I would never have met my best friend without mumsnet...this is so amazing...I've also signed with a great indie publisher....

R0wantrees · 27/08/2021 17:17

It is bloody marvellous news. Hop, skip and a cake eat through the weekend at The Blue Stocking, you'll soon be in your new home.

DetroitNeedsADog · 27/08/2021 17:11

Cake sounds great! I can't wait to get out of the shelter! I'm so excited I'm hopping!

R0wantrees · 27/08/2021 17:09

How lovely to see you Detroit and with such wonderful news. I'm so pleased for you.
We should have Cake to celebrate!

DetroitNeedsADog · 27/08/2021 17:03

I've had hot water and a bed for 10 months...and the apartment is cute! Moving in Monday afternoon!

DetroitNeedsADog · 27/08/2021 17:03

That sounds fun! I wouldn't have made it this far without mumsnet. That was when things started to change for the better.

RufustheBadgeringReindeer · 27/08/2021 16:09

@DetroitNeedsADog

Hello bluestockings! It's Detroit...Guess who is moving into an apartment on Monday after 10 months in a shelter?
Fabulous news

Think you need an online apartment warming Gin

DetroitNeedsADog · 27/08/2021 16:01

Hello Grumpy! It's all changed in here! Major restructuring? It's ok...I'm on the wagon, I've no g in my t to covet!

GrumpyMiddleAgedWoman · 27/08/2021 15:50

Hello Detroit, I don't believe we've met. I'm delighted that things are looking up for you.

Just watch out for the Camel. She will neck down your G&T when your back is turned.

I've just been Shock at all the posters who think you must never ever shout at teenagers over on the 'DH has been peaked today' thread. I'm not a shouty person, but mine turned me into a screeching harpy.

DetroitNeedsADog · 27/08/2021 15:39

Hello! It is surreal! I can't believe I did it! I got a housing subsidy, so rent is free for a year. It's a proper apartment, not a trailer! Bit of a tough time in the shelter, but it's been worth it. I'm glad I was persuaded to do this!

MonsignorMirth · 27/08/2021 14:35

Great news, detroit!
