Oh some nice veggie kebabs, Wanda. We also like turkey or chicken chunks, marinaded in Reggae Reggae sauce, and skewered. Yum

Digger fc he gets better quickly from this point on. Hope you are doing ok too.

Zamboni I am abot pox in this house - it had been 20 days since Fs wee nursery friend came down with it, so thought we were ok, but 2 little boys from her group got sent home yesterday with definite pox. And so begins another 21 day spot alert! Really hope she doesn't get it right before my exams.

These twilight shifts are killing me, am so so knackered. F got up this morning at 5.20

Oh and yy to sitting in the sun! I have my bikini on! Wit woo or not!

Phew 27c in the bear's room last night, thank goodness there's some cooler air coming! DH mixes chopped BBQ steak with cumin, lime juice and fresh coriander - its lush in pitta bread. Oh and bananas stuffed with dairy milk are compulsory.

Morning all. S is still unmarked by the pox! DD's are starting to crust over.

Oooh, BBQ ideas making me drool.

BPLP - S is on early wake ups too. Fortunately he can now shimmy himself off my bed and he chooses to go and annoy DH and DD in another room - what a good boy!

Off to a massive piss up black tie dinner with clients this evening.

it looks like i've got a mn stalker might have to nc but if i do i'll need to leave the quiche because it's someone here. anyone got any suggestions? i don't want to resort to reporting and snidey pm's

Pidj huh? No clue sorry.

Zamboni what a clever boy

I am guessing you mean me as I have posted on a couple of threads you have Pidj. As far as I know I am allowed to post wherever I want, especially when it is in subjects close to my heart like Prisons and nappies and children.

pidj that is one hell of a nasty accusation to put out on the quiche thread

I think if you really believe that someone on here would stalk you you might have an inflated sense of self importance. Or you could be paranoid. Or both.

We are on the observation ward. o2 down to 1.2L. Ventolin at 2-4 hrs. He's needing it at 2 hrs at the moment.

Hoping we will be home within 48 hours otherwise we will be moved to a different ward again.

2 kids in our room. 1 girl of about 4 absolutely high as a kite on ventolin and a baby with bronchiolitus.

In fact why on earth would you ask for ideas from the quiche for a different name if a quiche member is so called stalking you?

Unless you are deliberately and openly trying to cause trouble which quite honestly wouldn't surprise me ?

This used to be a nice place to be. And the last few months there's a not so nice feeling. And there has been one thing in common with pretty much every time there has been unpleasantness. Do I need to go on?

I am fucking appalled.

digger I really hope that you get home soon. Down to 2 hours is good right?

Is it really wise of the hospital to put a child with bronchiolitis in a room with children who don't have it though?

digger thinking of you. I really hope you get to go home soon.

I'm not here often now, post holiday blues kicked in. And I have so much to do.

I'm going out tonight with a friend, nice to be able to get out. We have beautiful weather and thankfully Olivia's room is cool so she sleeps well.

pidj ?

I read one thread pidj where you and VQ both commented and all VQ said about your post was that it was interesting. I wonder if you're just super sensitive to anything she says, combined with enhanced sensitivity because of the subject matter of that particular thread. If that's what you're referring to. And that's me trying to give as much of the benefit of the doubt as possible. I rarely disagree with PR and I am trying hard to find a way to disagree with some of her comments above.

Glad you're settling back into routine lily. Any more thoughts about shagfest visit soon your friend?

Digger - really hope things improve and you get home soon. I cannot imagine how worrying it must be. I'm thinking of you often.

BP when DH is forced to get up because of it!

No thoughts zamboni although my parents offered to have O for two nights . To be honest all I can think about is getting some more shags and I bloody make sure I will get lots.

No need for the lily, I think you should get as much as you can!

Lily

Definitely no need for enjoy every minute :)

I have avoided any comment thus far but . . .

If there is something to be said pidj then say it. I don't think the situation will be resolved by what appear to be thinly veiled accusations.

What would do you think we would be able to suggest? My suggestion is that contacting the person directly and asking them if there is an issue. Asking us all feels a bit like we are being asked to take sides.

We are grown ups and there will be times when our opinions differ but the most important thing about this group was always that these things could be shared and discussed fairly and without high drama.

It would be a desperate shame if this group was to shrivel and die in leaving a bad taste in people's mouths.

Anyway. After all that I don't think I have added anything.

On a change of tone I am currently sunning myself on the grass outside a hall at St. Andrews uni. Sadly the wine tasting this evening is of fruit wine - oh the humanity!

Never ever be about some good old fashioned bonking lily!

I think I might try that yw

Fruit wine? You mean non grape wine? I brought a variety of non grape wines back to France once for my FIL to taste (before we fell out, obviously) and despite insisting that they were not wine, because 'vin' comes from 'vignes' which is what grapes grow on he actually quite enjoyed them.

One was ginger. It was yum. I love the Joanne Harris book "Blackberry Wine". It's escapist and intelligent. And blackberry wine is good too; Enjoy your tasting.

I am sweating. It is hot hot hot!

I am inclined to agree with Pass (diplomatic teacher as ever ) - this thread has kept me sane and going through some truly horrible times, we have supported each other through sleep deprivation, unemployment, death, leaving abusive partners etc etc. Please don't let us lose sight of those things.

Plus if the thread shrivelled and died I'd be vair lonely at times!

It is a nasty accusation. It's a nasty situation to be in, having things I've said here dragged into other threads elsewhere on the forum along with the snideyness I've encountered here recently. I've been trying and trying and trying to let it go over my head because there are a lot of people here who have been immensely kind, generous and supportive of me but, actually, the underhand comments are making me feel bullied out of the quiche completely.

I brought it up here because as afar as I can see it's a Quiche matter. Someone here has a massive problem with me, I have absolutely no idea what I've done to cause it but it's been rumbling along quietly pretty much the whole time. I've done my absolute best not to let it affect things but the other person doesn't appear to feel the same way. Another person has chosen to publically back them, again I don't entirely understand why the vehemence from someone I thought was a friend.

Thank you to all those who have supported me during a very difficult time of my life, and also to those who don't feel they can comment publicly but have been in touch privately. I want the Quiche to be a safe for everyone and since my presence is making that difficult, I think I should leave. Well, I think I've been forced to leave but I'm sure there will be different opinions on that as there are with everything.

Thank you

I am not really sure what is going on. I thought we were just all carrying on as normal.

Sounds lovely pass

I just went an purchased two enormous pots of flowers for outside. But oh the embarrassment when, after waiting for the card machine to connect for about 15 mins, it said my card was declined. Which is odd because I check my accounts this morning and they as much in order as they get, and I had used it in Asda 5 mins before no bother, so I tried another card, same, so I went to the cash point. No problem at all. My theory is it is their machine up spout. Anyone wish to make me feel better on this one. [hopeful]

Oh FFS pidj! Just accuse who you want to instead of veiled comments about being forced to leave. Noone is forcing you anywhere except yourself. We are all adults!! The youngest in the quiche appears to coping with so much just now and is acting more grown up than you! hope that comes out the was I intend and depart offend said youngest member leave if you want or don't. This was discussed a while back and as adults we all have differing opinions. That's life and that's what makes us complex and interesting. I thought we were all able to say what we wanted, when we wanted and where we wanted. Unless you are getting torrents of abuse via PM then I honestly do not see a problem!
