I am having difficulty in understanding, how you can post an "I am new here" after having posted two about your latest projects.

Dont mean to be a downer, but doesn't work with me, sorry !

[nuttyjoon58 in reply to Hayesider]

sorry you feel like that but i am new on here signed up today and saw there was a craft area on here so thought would be nice to show people how i cope with pain etc. am surprised at your comment nobody else has been like that. everyone else has been very welcoming and nice, but there we go we are all different

[nuttyjoon58]

Hi i started to get ill around 7yrs ago and just got progressively worse, like most the medical profession do not provide much support, thus i try and be as positive as i can, and i also have good family and friends.

Hay nuttyjoon58

Was not being anything other than inquisitive. Unusual to have three posts together, hence my not understanding.

This is a wonderful site to be on, there are so many friendly supportive people here, my query being an example.

Welcome, hope you accept my miss-understanding, blame it on Fibro Foggyness.

Love, apologies Hayesider, wrong yet again, getting to be a habit !

[nuttyjoon58 in reply to Hayesider]

Its fine, and know what its like to have fibro foggy brain, maybe i should have introduced myself on here before putting anything else on, but i guess i did it backwards and also blame the fibro! sorry to if i misunderstood you and thank you for the welcome, am going to take my time and get to know the site as there seem to be a lot of really nice people on here.

[nuttyjoon58]

than you for such a nice welcome on here, and its good to be able to share things with other crafters, hopefully getting tips. its also nice to be able to provide support and get support. I actually live in Bridgend

[Ginsing]

Way to go - nice to make your aquaintenace! Being positive is a culture I believe in. I think you will enjoy the site good people good gnashing of teeth, hilarious giggling but not all of the same time.

It is a well presented and friendly group of fellow sufferers and we like nothing more than enjoying a joke together or how we tackle this age old illness from which we suffer.

Take care make sure you have read the regulations sorry guidelines LOL not many but necessary to keep us working well together.

I am Ginsing a volunteer admin body if I can help let me know enjoy Ginsing

[nuttyjoon58 in reply to Ginsing]

thank you have read them and oops made a boo boo, should have read them first silly me

[naturalnikki]

Welcome welcome. Love your art and can't wait to get to know you better. I think a lot of us are on the same happy boat as you, just trying to always find the light in the day.

I have made several friends on here and I haven't been here that long. I guess because of what we deal with connections are made quickly.

Welcome to the forum and it is wonderful to make your acquaintance. I have pasted you a link to our mother site, FMAUK which hosts loads of useful Fibro information:

All my hopes and dreams for you
