Hi, in case you're a new person looking for support this weekend - this is a great site.

Very, very knowledgable, helpful and supportive. Please dont take any notice of the weird earlier blog - it's so abnormal for here.

Just bypass it and a warm welcome to you. P

That's not me BTW , I dont lok like a dog :D . It's Fred, just 7 and a lovely boy I've had since he was 7 months old. Someone didn't want him so I took him on. Fred looks after me from time to time (he saved my life once, I'm convinced) but mostly it's me looking after him he's a bit 'sensitive'.

Have a lovely Sunday, so far it's very sunny here. P

Its raining cats and dogs here in Lancashire

Speaking of weird post gives interest that should not be with many now asking what post is not belonging on a welcome site.

Welcome new members find fun and learn here.

Thanks Huffer, I was new here once and it's quite scarey if you've never joined a site for help before.

You have a lovely Sunday too :)

Welcome to everyone!

I only joined very recently myself and I have found it extremely welcoming and friendly, supportive, informative and fun too.

What a great forum! Wonderful people :-)

I joined a few months ago. I regularly get insulted, picked on and threatened with violence. This is all from my new group of wonderful friends who answer all my questions and offer help and advice whenever they can. A super place to be. Love to all, Bobby xxxx

please don't tell me you are judging my blog as weird and abnormal peeg, because that is how your statement appears.

Instructing newcomers to bypass my blog

Do not wish to be confrontational here, but I am somewhat offended with your unwarranted disrespect for my attempt to put a smile on the face of my friends here.

I think I deserve an apology, as if sharing humour is weird or abnormal, I would hate to be as normal as your good self, as judge and jury and week end moderator / welcoming committee

This is confusing, your name is too like King of the Cocktails and I thought it was from him. I may be wrong, but I took Peeg's reference to earlier blog to be about some kerfuffle that went on yesterday. Strange outburst for a new member?

peege in reply tolibby7827

you're right Libby, I wasn't at all refering to a particular blog only that kerfuffle (perfect word for it :) )

ullo, peeg - a nice gesture to newcomers. Fell part of a family which is great for me. My family is so far away.

peege in reply to

Hi Annie, I was new just 3 months ago.

I'm sorry you're family are far away.

I'm very lucky, I've one 10 miles away who I hardly see - she's 29 now & so busy with being young and carefree. One just moved 35 miles away with my one & only grandchild. Luckily I see them once per week and one in the South of France.

Do you use Skype to talk to them? Yes, there are lovely welcoming people here including a certain Annie 80 - dont know where she's gone!! You miss them when they go missing for a few days or weeks.

Hope you're husband is doing okay Annieseed, think of you often

Annie80 had had a makeover peeg, she's now annieseed!!

in reply topeege

Hang here peeg! i AM ANNIE80. I made a public announcement to all that I am now annieseed. But what a nice thing to say! Thank you.

Brian is ok for the moment. Around 7-8 days after chemo, things can happen. Hair is going so a tiller hat. They look good.

peege in reply to

I was just teasing Annie!

Glad he's alright so far but what's a tiller hat ?

in reply topeege

find tiller hats on google. Every bloke should have one - they look good. But Brian was treated to one. They are expensive.

peege profile image
peege in reply to

oooo, I'll have a look. Hats are great. I recently lost my favourite tweed cap. It got blown off in a gust straight into the Thames. It was like a friend I loved it so much. How silly is that!

in reply topeege

No, it isn't silly. I would feel the same.

Not at all, I didn't say I didn't like the name, I said it's too close to a well established member's name and at a glance could be confusing.

Hi everyone • These days I spend a lot of time thinking about the hereafter, I go somewhere to get something then wonder what am I here after…………..

Hi, Thank you so much for that. I only joined a couple of weeks ago and had a very kind and helpful reply from Homebreeze about a concern I had when I first joined.. I have been reading the blogs and, in the main, I have been heartened by the kind and friendly comments on the blogs page. However I thought you may have to be invited to join the blog. I know differently now and will not feel awkward about contributing if I feel it is appropriate for a new member.

Regards Jean

in reply towhitrok

Feel at home, whitrok. I cant get out and about for different reasons. I used love meeting people outside my home. Now I dont have to. Talk away about whatever to a group of lovely people.
