I know this sounds absolutely ridiculous - recently joined and have posted a few times but find it scary Blush .
I thought I was well-educated albeit a young mum, but reading some threads makes me feel scared Apprehensive to post .
I'm being silly aren't I?! Or do I belong on a certain other site instead haha!

That's good info think I'll get stuck in and do that thanks maryz.
Everyone else - I am reading it all, didn't expect so many replies and can't see much on my phone - would take me a long time time I don't have to reply to everyone and find the names then message in one reply box. If that makes any sense? I feel such a dork Blush

Can't stand chrome, Maryz. My spelling is not quite as bad as my last post might suggest!

ICantthink - MN moves at the speed of light, far too difficult to reply to each post individually.

It is nice, however, if people who come on to ask about specifics EG: nice hotel in Bolton, make the effort to come back & say a general thanks to those who bothered to reply.

magimedi · 09/08/2015 17:32

OI!! Honey

Are you calling me a wuss?

I am dead tuff.

Swords at dawn, my love, swords at dawn!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't post drunk unless you are a happy drunk.

magimedi · 09/08/2015 17:35

Or you are posting in Pag's caprihinna bar! Grin

Quiero · 09/08/2015 17:35

Definitely get stuck in. I've been around for years and years and am mostly ignored because I don't post much. I think you have to really throw yourself in to get the most out of it. And if you can help it try not to namechange too often. It's easier to become part of the community if people know who you are.

Sparklingbrook · 09/08/2015 17:36

Do read the thread though, I would advise anyone that if you want to comment than at least read the thread first.

Don't expect a reply. and don't be surprised if someone says exactly what you said after you said it but the OP only noticed the other one. Angry

Pagwatch · 09/08/2015 17:37

My caprinihahahahahahaha bar is always happy magi Grin

Not open again until Christmas though.

All newbies should have a thread like this so we can mould you to be just how we want you

magimedi · 09/08/2015 17:43

That is the lovely thing about this place - how threads wander all over the place.

I briefly posted on a holiday forum & you'd get mods being very cross with you if you wandered off topic at all.

Reader, I flounced!

Pagwatch · 09/08/2015 17:44

I'm in Spain. I have sangria?
And paella . DH is literally doing the most cliche supper ever
Still - I'm not cooking.

Maryz - no bed pans though love.
There's a line.

HoneyDragon · 09/08/2015 17:44

I'm posting whilst ds is aaaaaargh shredding my aaaargh feet I'm amazed I can type at all.

Pagwatch · 09/08/2015 17:45

Oh god - if you post then read the whole thread.
If it's too long then just don't post.

Christinayanglah · 09/08/2015 17:48

As in life there are some nice people and some eejits, just enjoy
