Did Gess really delete her membership

I sincerely hope that you didn't Gess. And I hope you're loitering with intent to return if you did.

I have to say you have my utmost respect, you have taught me much, not that you wish to be a teacher. You have been unfailingly helpful and kind. There have been times when you have acknowledged my input positively and I have felt really proud.

You are an extremely important part of this site to me. I know that we do not cross paths as often as in the past. I know that this is not the place you wish it to be any more.

Even if you don't return, I hope you understand that you are valued and respected.

Moves with young children are always hell.

But if we have to live in a caravan, we're not leaving this place.

Not now, not ever.

This is what it's all about.

Won't be around so much - have loads to unpack.

Spent all day getting the kitchen halfway sorted.

So worried, even now, about the move.

But would never, ever live in Edinburgh again.

Not for any amount of money.

It's not for us.

This is.

Say it ain't so!!!! and

I have never been able to remember who annoys me from one thread to the next. this I will remember.

saggarmakersbottomknocker · 29/09/2007 22:43

expat. Sounds fab.

Aitch - she started the new thread then buggered off.

prufrock · 29/09/2007 22:43

gess I do hope you are reading this so yopu can see how much you are valued by people here. But at the same time I think you are just being your usual sensible self to realise that if Mumsnet is being a source of stress rather than support to you, then you should give yourslef a break, and just come back when you feel you need us, not just because we will be a far poorer community without you.

expatinscotland · 29/09/2007 22:43

Was just in contact with gess the day before I left - she'd sent me some photos of a hike they took as a family. Was so amazed at the beauty of the place.

Gess is a really, really beautiful person.

VeniVidiVickiQV · 29/09/2007 22:43

It's the wedding and preparations thereof that are probably stressing me and making me niggly and snappy .....

I had to stop running because of my back. Was given diazepam to try to help. It didnt really.

It has only just started to settle down, and I plan to start up again soon. I'm also working ridiculous shifts at the moment whilst trying to settle DD into school. DP often doesnt get home until 7pm and at that point I'm a quivering heap on the floor and all the energy I can muster is barely enough to tap a few keys on my laptop..........

Tried dress on today though.... I feel somewhat better........ I wont need to wear a bra

saggarmakersbottomknocker · 29/09/2007 22:44

Tsk! Excuses, excuses

AitchTwoOh · 29/09/2007 22:52

oh really? so has your plan to slim into the dress worked? how fab.

expatinscotland · 29/09/2007 22:56

Aitch, we'd be honoured if you'd visit .

We can't WAIT till people start coming round! This place is so, so, so, so staggeringly beautiful.

I'm not a cuddly, fuzzy wuzzy type, but this place is beyond tears.

Blu · 29/09/2007 22:57

Where have you moved to, Expat?

VeniVidiVickiQV · 29/09/2007 23:01

Well, not quite aitch......

It's more of a case that it fits so snuggly that there is no room for norkular movement..........

AitchTwoOh · 29/09/2007 23:03

mmmm at vvv's snuggly norks and expat's cuddly, tear-filled view...

unknownrebelbang · 29/09/2007 23:04

Two visions of loveliness I'm sure.

VeniVidiVickiQV · 29/09/2007 23:10

LOL

Ask hunker...she was there......

expatinscotland · 29/09/2007 23:11

We're in Argyll, Blu

Sorry, just sending 'bon courage' to our landlords and dear friends.

More tears today as she left to meet her husband for the trip to Africa. We were all greetin'. Just 'bon courage and we'll keep good watch.'

Oh, this has all been so emotional. Leaving work, remembering holding DD1's hand in mine whilst we walked up the stairs to our old flat and her saying, 'Ach, we're home. We're safe.' and how it's my job to give her that sense of security, and how her hand will soon be bigger than mine and her head much taller than mine and how soon that hair of hers, the colour I call 'Scottish brown' because it's so common here, she will have to stoop for me to nuzzle and then how will I look after her?

So now it's all tears of both joy and sadness.

Just hope the best for our friends!

AitchTwoOh · 29/09/2007 23:22

awww, expat...

expatinscotland · 29/09/2007 23:33

Later on I was like, 'WTF! Wot are you like, EIS? It's not a wake!'

Isababel · 30/09/2007 01:11

Gess, I really hope that you come back, but if you decide it is better for you not to return (and you read this thread...) I just want to say thank you for all your valuable advice.

Your help has made a real difference in the life of my family. Thank you very much.

sallyfubsylittlebat · 01/10/2007 15:28

Im shocked to read this. Maybe Ive just been lucky in not getting picked on by anybody on MN, but why the hell do people do it? is it because of the (relative) anonymity?

gess if you do see this, Im really sorry you felt you had to go. Although Ive not been on this group as a parent, you never minded me hanging about as a therapist, and Ive learned a lot from you and all the others.

Good luck.

Should someone be posting some of this in the conversation section where the problem started, so the perpetrator knows what theyve done?

AeFondKiss · 03/10/2007 21:07

another vote for Gess ...

I know I am new to all this and I understand sometimes we need respite from mumsnet, but I really hope you come back....

spacegirl · 03/10/2007 21:13

Sorry about all the crap. Thanks for all your support, knowledge and you web page stuff it has really helped me and my ds. Hope you come back. LOL
