Don't even know why im posting this, can't talk about it, but for anyone that knows whats going on wish me luck. It is starting to really make me worry and putting me in a bit of a mood. I would really like my fear to go. Sorry. Pointless thread. Isn't mn weird, i thought i was leaving heavy emotional posts

not to court obv to peoples houses

codswallop · 14/10/2004 14:49

I know it sounds stupid but he mere fact you have made an effort wut tyour appearance AND look as if you feell "you belong "in your clothes wiull be noticed

Bunglie · 14/10/2004 15:05

A Bunglie thinks that although the cods can't type, she does talk a lot of sense....I would leave the scones at home for the celebration for when it is all over.
You sound as if you will look very respectable and that is what you are, so don't forget....We are with you and do you know if it is morning or afternoon....I need to know when to concentrate my 'good vibes' to you?

MummyToSteven · 14/10/2004 15:10

agree with coddy and snmum here. the most important thing about the arrangements for giving evidence is reaching a decision you feel comfortable about, rather than umming and aahing and trying to force yourself into something you really don't want to do. dress code for court tends to be conservative if not outright frump.

codswallop · 14/10/2004 15:35

like t think I will make frump my style

fairyfly · 14/10/2004 15:43

Ok suit it is, no make up, and scones for a celebration, morning prob

Bunglie · 15/10/2004 10:23

Just want to say "Good Morning" and how are you doing FF.
No need to reply but just want you to know that I am thinking of you and I hope that my 'Positive vibes' are getting through

If you want to make yourself smile just think of Coddy sitting there in 'frump' style dresses, and long bloomers (baggy ones) and trying to look stern. I wonder what a 'Frump' Coddy does look like. (Probably very smart but she would have Doc Martins on I bet!)

Everything is still crossed but you will not need luck....you are now all sorted with so much love and support here that you will be fine. (I can feel it in my water!)
Lots of love, happy vibes and hugs.
Bunglie XXX

leglebegle · 15/10/2004 19:47

littlemissbossy · 15/10/2004 19:50

edam · 15/10/2004 19:59

Hey FF very best wishes for Monday. You can do this, you know. And I'm very grateful that you are.

Chocol8 · 16/10/2004 00:02

A MASSIVE great big hug coming out to you anytime....NOW! Did you feel it Forestfly?

You are a brave and courageous woman and I take my hat off to you. Everything will be fine, I mean how could it not be with all of MN thinking of you on Monday.

Take care, remember to do the deep breathing thang and you will be FINE. xxxxxx

Best wishes for Monday. You're very brave.

GRMUM · 16/10/2004 08:44

Good luck for Monday.I agree you're very brave.

fairyfly · 16/10/2004 11:22

Thanks for all your messages of support, they are much appreciated. Feel like absolute crap if im honest, kids have gone to there fathers for the weekend, really missing him at the moment. Even though i am a fool. Things would just be a lot easier if i had someone by my side just now. Times like this when you realise how much you miss a relationship.

gothicmama · 16/10/2004 11:37

Good luck for Monday and big hugs for now

Papillon · 16/10/2004 12:34

Hey FF - it is hard but maybe doing something safe, enjoyable and pamper yourself as much as possible. It might make you feel abit better and restore some confidence.

Take care and sending you good vibes x
