Oh no. I'm so sorry. Hope you're better soon and another date isn't too far off.

Hope it goes ahead. It's so difficult adapting to ever changing circumstances. I'm sure you are psyched up for it.

I get that on another thread that I regularly post on - a certain poster regularly tags me but I refuse to reply to him. Grin

Judging by other people's overly patient replies to him, he's still posting the same repetitive drivel Hmm. I refuse even to read his posts - they add nothing to the discussion Confused

I replied to him today, let's see what nonsense comes back

Otherwise, following Efacsen's eyerolling works well for me Grin

Really hope it goes ahead piggy sending positive thoughts.

@TooBigForMyBoots what a shame about Case Park I’m presuming costs have spiralled & bummer that extra income plans stuffed.
I rarely venture onto the windup threads, because I’m very aware my Spag is poor (results of a stroke I had to learn to read & write again & the nuances of grammar just don’t stick like they did plus it’s can take me a while composing a reply) have previously been picked on by some grammar pendants which was upsetting, one of the main reasons why I enjoy these threads is you all tolerate my sometimes simplistic musings & get the gist of what I’m trying to say🥰

prettybird · 17/09/2024 18:43

@DuncinToffee - I was tempted to reply to your post - especially as I've done a lot of business with Iceland - but then I thought "Nah, what's the point?" Hmm

That specific point has been made to him so many times Angry

PandoraSox · 17/09/2024 18:50

I really need to learn to keep my gob shut at times. But that Labour thread is so annoying and infested with you know what.

@piggywaspushed what a rollercoaster, hope it all gets sorted for you.

@dontcallmelen your musings aren't simplistic at all!

BIossomtoes · 17/09/2024 19:05

I never have any trouble understanding you @dontcallmelen. Your insights are very welcome, as is your beautiful flower tax.

I'd just ignore them elen your writing is perfectly clear. They just don't want to hear what you have to say, which is their problem not yours.

Just had a quick look at the Labour thread. No loss that I hid it 😂

Saucery · 17/09/2024 19:44

I don’t see your posts as simplistic at all @dontcallmelen and your username always makes me smile (I do carry it on in my head with you little prick Grin).

Hope you get your op over with soon @Piggywaspushed

Goaders hate being ignored, so I ignore them, imagining their stampy little fingers on the keyboard as they frantically @ me…..

newnamethanks · 17/09/2024 19:57

Agree with all the above dontcallmelen, I hope you're completely recovered, your posts are always perfectly clear.

prettybird · 17/09/2024 19:59

Like others, I always appreciate your insightful posts (and haven't noticed any SPAG issues Confused) @dontcallmelen - and of course your gorgeous flowers and vases Flowers

@Piggywaspushed - so sorry your op has been delayed again. Fingers crossed that the antibiotics get on top of the UTI.

A combination of passive-aggression, reasonableness and ignoring seems to enrage certain squirrels Grin

pointythings · 17/09/2024 20:02

DuncinToffee · 17/09/2024 19:29

Same for me

Also for me.

@Piggywaspushed sending operationgoingahead vibes.

Llttledrummergirl · 17/09/2024 20:51

What everyone else said Grin @Piggywaspushed @dontcallmelen

BIossomtoes · 17/09/2024 19:05

I never have any trouble understanding you @dontcallmelen. Your insights are very welcome, as is your beautiful flower tax.

Adding to the agreement on this.

Also add that you shouldn't be ashamed even if your grammar is poor - you should be proud of overcoming such a significant medial emergency and learning those skills all over again.

Plus I'm dyslexic so I'm the last person who will comment on someone's else's SpAG 😂

itsgettingweird · 17/09/2024 20:54

I will add I hadn't noticed any problems either don't Grin

prettybird · 17/09/2024 21:17

Well, I tried on the other thread ..... Shock

I think I'll return to this haven of sanity. My hands will go numb with being sat upon otherwise Grin
