TES Community

[Scumble]

Where the dickens has it gone? Is it gone gone? Has it been renamed and I just can't find it?

Belledujour here. I’ve been onto TES more than once and been fed the same bollocks about servers and maintenance. I’ve been back to them saying taking it down with no notice at Christmas is very poor, and the least they could have done is left it and posted a message when someone tries to access community. But no reply. The whole thing stinks! Happy new year everyone xx

Their ears must be burning, given the number of us who have contacted them with the same comments! Hopefully it will have a positive impact on them...... (not holding my breath). Chelsea2

I hope their ears are burning and they have a conscience!

Happy New Year everyone! We’ve already eaten our ‘buffet’ . There’s some tin foiled stuff in the fridge we’re going to investigate in a minute - we are so rock n roll. He’s just said he’s not going to make 9 o clock. That means we can wake up at midnight and shake our fists at the fireworks - can’t wait xx

I've just got the gammon out of the instant pot - might do a potato salad and an ordinary salad.

Feeling sad - the first NYE ever without my parents.

Surely 2021 must be better. Let's all hope so.

Happy New Year when it arrives Tessers.

Happy New Year to all TESSERS. I used to be vannie. I'm not going to say things can only get better cos that'll bite me in the arse but... y'know!
We're about to tuck into pizza and watch Paddington.

Happy New Year to all Tessers. Have the best evening you can ... this really will end, we have to believe that 2021 will be better!

Happy New Year, all.

Only the second time in over 40 years that we (my uni friends and I) have failed to meet for NYE. The only other miss was when the country was snowbound, and we couldn't get to Lincolnshire, that year's venue.

We have a zoom meeting scheduled for 10.00 p.m., so I'll go and cook my meal now and be ready with a glass (or two) of something red and delicious.

Our NYE replacement get-together is scheduled for the weekend of August 20th, in the hope that we will have all been vaccinated by then.

Hi everyone and Happy New Year.

I'm really glad to have found some of my fellow TESSERS. After 20 years, it was really shocking to realise that the community pages had been taken down without warning.
If it hadn't been for the TES, I would have never met my OH (ex-poster) 19 years ago. Similarly, I will never forget the wonderful support that I was given earlier this year after losing my daughter.
Unfortunately (just like me to put a downer on a NYE party) I've just found out that I am facing the same battle as GDW, although, unlike her, I should have been more proactive at an earlier stage.
So, it is a relief to be able to say thanks to anyone who knows me, just in case the forum does return (but I do not).
Cheers m'dears....

Happy New Year everyone!

We've just has smoked salmon (the cat demanded some!) with some quite pleasant cava . Currently watching "only connect" while main course is cooking.

I will need a big drink at 11pm while "B" is done! I might even cry.Will I ever get "over ii"? I doubt it.

My mum died in July and I feel like as the year turns I’m leaving her in the wretched year that is 2020. I know that is irrational but it’s how I feel. She was young to die and due to Covid19 spent seven of her last weeks in hospital with us unable to see her. Her last wish was that we, her family, be happy. We will be, just not yet. God bless us all. I’ve been thinking of Cassandramark2 and fried green tomatoes, both of whom have had terrible years. I’m so glad I have found TES people. Many posters were a great support to me leading up to and after the loss of my beloved mum.

Posted at the same time Cassandramark2, I am sorry to hear about your diagnosis - 2020 - the gift that keeps on giving. I wish you a good recovery and will keep you in my thoughts. Xx

Happy New Year to all you Tesser pals. Quiet one here but will stay up to see 2021 arrive.

I will be taking a beef casserole over to enjoy with my 91 year old dad tomorrow. I feel completely comfortable doing that as did a Covid test for the Zoe app a few days ago and am negative. I’m very unsure about visiting him once I’m back at school next week. So might need to stay away until I have an idea of how bad things are. With luck he will be vaccinated soon. That will be a huge relief. He is totally dependent on my social company (does have a home help too). He hasn’t seen my brother since December 2019!!

2021 will be brighter - Trump gone for a start.

Oh, @Cassandramark2, what a dreadful year you've had. Fingers crossed that you follow the same journey as GDW. Wish she was here to give you her common-sense advice. All the best.

I just wanted to post this because I found it quite cathartic and emotional. It made me cry, which is what I do on New Year's Eve anyway. Enjoy. (Sorry - I don't know how to make the video available on Mumsnet in any other way - cut and paste the link if you want to watch it)

Part 2 here:

Oh, you can just click on the blue link. No need to copy and paste.

Cassandramark2, so sorry to hear your news. You've had such an awful year. Wishing you a speedy recovery ((( ))).

I had amazing support from Tessers (especially lara) when my dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer's and through the very difficult times before he eventually went into a nursing home a year ago. It's a lovely home and they've been brilliant this year. Last week we were told that a member of staff had tested positive for COVID - the first they'd had. She was asymptomatic and isolated immediately. All staff and residents were tested on Monday, as usual. 50% are positive, including my dad. So worried. I haven't seen Dad for a month as OH and I are both recovering from the virus. It feels like I'm living in some sort of parallel universe at the moment ... they were all due to be vaccinated next week in the home.

@Cassandramark2 shit, I'm so sorry. You've really been through the mill, haven't you? Life can be so terribly unfair. xxx

Sorry to hear your news Cassandramark2, I'm sure it took a long time for GDW to get a diagnosis, she kept being sent away. Fingers crossed for you, what a terrible year.

Happy New Year to everyone, just finished off a negroni from a packet (Christmas gift!) and now tucking into some cheese. Here's to a more positive 2021.

Happy new year to you all.

Cassandramark2, I’m so sorry to hear your news. It has been a truly awful year for you with losing your lovely daughter and now facing your own health problems. I am pleased you have found us here. Always willing to listen and support. Take care. Sally006

Oh Cassandramark2 - so sorry to hear you're going through it. Hope the treatment goes really well for you. vannie x
