This thread is for the lovely lady in Lush yesterday, but anyone can pop in and say hi!

Ey up.
This thread is to say hello to the lady I met yesterday, we had a lot of things in common with regard to abusive parents, families, and having children and even grandchildren of our own, and how our experience affects that. What can we do about it? Are there positive things to be taken from such negative experiences? Are these poisonous individuals still in our lives? How do we deal with them?

I told my new friend about mumsent, the stately homers, and the support I have found on here - mumsnet is my 'extended' family! I hope she sees this and comes and says hello!

Love

I hope she finds this thread!

a little bump for the lush lady

Ah thanks Captain and MardyBra - great name that works on so many levels, ha!

I'm crossing my fingers...

Thanks Stand. It sounds like you had a lovely connection with this woman. Hopefully she'll find you on here.

Not me but IME everyone in Lush is lovely. Hope she sees this.

Am I the only one who can't stand the smell of Lush?

YES!!!

No Mardy you're not alone, IMO the smell in Lush is equivalent to Lynx anti perspirant. < boak >

Agreed. Lush is too smelly for me.

I like Lush very much too.
BUMP!

The smells that waft out of Lush causes my asthma to flare up. I generally run past the shop holding my breath

A sweetly fragrant lushy bump. Hope you find her!

Another bump for the Lush lady!

I like the odd sniff when I walk past.

Bumping for the lush lady and wishing the sales staff in lush would leave people alone when they walk in instead of dragging them over to sniff some awful product.

I like some of their stuff but only on my terms, I don't want it shoved in my face! And they always choose things that smell awful to show me and I just cannot fake liking it.

oh honey I'd never attack a customer with something offensive...

I love lush.
