Remembering BitOfFun

The awesome BitOfFun died two years ago.
She loved this board and I just wanted her name on here at this time.
She was a friend of mine on here and in real life. When she passed there was a weird competition about who knew her best. Don’t even start with that shit. Just let’s remember an awesome human being.

I remember bit of fun. A name just always there.

Love to all who knew her here and in real life.

She was awesome, and I hope her dog is still getting the odd Maccie D's.
I had breast cancer and was on the cancer thread a fair bit at the same time as her, I thought she was great and think of her often aswell as some of the other ladies who we lost from the thread. I never got to meet her sadly x

RememberBee · 11/05/2023 17:32

Thanks for the responses. I’m not on Facebook and I assume she’s being remembered there but this place was very special to her.

I remember BoF well. Flowers

2 years! Where does the time go??
RIP BoF & hugs to you RememberBee

I remember her well, the Pouffe of Poo thread was one of the funniest things I have ever read on MN Flowers

Coxspurplepippin · 11/05/2023 17:43

Always used to hear her name in my head as 'Boff'. Lovely poster, a MN classic herself.

Oh I didn't know she died. That's terrible. I've been here for years under different names. When I don't see someone on here anymore, I always think they must've just changed their name. RIP BoF. 💐💐💐

Oblomov23 · 11/05/2023 17:45

2 years. I had no idea it had been that long.

Sparkletastic · 11/05/2023 17:46

I remember her well. She was always very entertaining. Flowers

AmbleInAnnBoleyn · 11/05/2023 17:49

I remember BoF too, with great affection.
I hope you're okay RememberBee. (Gentle arm squeeze)

It's really weird that you posted this because I was thinking of her just today. I didn't know her at all but I used to see her posts and she sounded a really nice, fun woman. But I think about her quite regularly because, after she died, a few people wrote that she'd been really kind to them when they were struggling. That made such an impact on me - that what we write on here can really affect people for good or bad.

So sometimes now I write things and then, thinking of her, I delete or edit them because what I've written isn't kind. It might feel what I wrote was true but it could have been kinder. So although she wouldn't even know my name, she has influenced me for the better quite a lot. Isn't it funny how you can be touched and impacted by someone you don't even know.

I loved Bof. A nice contributor to these boards
I was sad when they died.

RememberBee · 11/05/2023 17:55

Thank you @AmbleInAnnBoleyn x
She’d be thrilled with that @Earlydancing

A funny, empathic and intelligent woman. A sad loss to the world. ❤️

TheSpottedZebra · 11/05/2023 18:00

I remember her well too (just Mn, not IRL). She was very nice, and very funny.

And she had an amazing greenhouse.

ohfourfoxache · 11/05/2023 18:03

I’m sorry for your loss @RememberBee

BOF was fantastic. Miss her posts Sad

JulesJules · 11/05/2023 18:05

Yes @Earlydancing I was one of those posters. Dear BoF was so kind to me when I was having treatment for breast cancer.

Here's to BoF 🥂

alwaysandforevernow · 11/05/2023 18:11

I remember the poo pouffe too. I'm sorry for your loss.

RememberBee · 11/05/2023 18:39

I’m glad she’s remembered. She was too special to forget. I miss her.

Flowers@RememberBee I remember BoF from the X Factor threads and her beautiful painting.

Davros · 11/05/2023 19:56

Yes, X Factor threads! I'll never forget Nan Fucker

NowZeusHasLainWithLeda · 11/05/2023 19:56

I remember. ❤️
Hugs to you @RememberBee

Kangarude · 11/05/2023 20:04

I'm sorry to hear BoF died. I didn't know.
She was a such a lovely poster.
Sending love to you @RememberBee and those who knew BitofFun Flowers

Same. I’ve been here for twenty years and remember her on some real classic MN threads. I’m shocked to have not realised she’d died. Terrible.
