    I feel bad that people don't feel like they can post here anymore. That said, though, I can see how it's changed and I have a bit of a love/hate thing with it sometimes.

    I'd like to think we're welcoming to newcomers though :o

    I know people were talking about this yesterday, and I missed it (sorry if this is dragging it up again mods, delete if needs be). I was around (mostly lurking!) when the chat/emotions thread merge thing happened, and I do see the cliques thing, but as I think Edna said, so what? Cliques don't have to be bad! I don't post very often here, but I read every day (I'm a big creep) and show my housemate all the cake photos and have never felt unwelcome - I've very very rarely seen nastiness here, which was more the case a few years ago I think.

    My 2c...:o I just really like this thread, if I've had a bad day it cheers me up and if I've had a good day it's nice to cheer others up or just see what everyone's up to.

    I read that a while ago! It was just about the only book belonging to my flatmate that I hadnt tried yet. Was utter tripe. I'm coming round to the idea of some chick-lit (tried Marian Keyes after my post here a couple of weeks ago and liked it, also quite liked a Harriet Evans novel I got free with a magazine) but this was formulaic, patronising sh*te.

    I hate the fact that some people think being "quirky" and infantile is the best way to make a female character interesting or engaging. The main character in that was vapid, idiotic and self-obsessed, yet we're meant to be on her side???

    Edit: I do not consider Bridget Jones to be chick-lit. Bridget Jones is a comedic masterpiece and I will not hear otherwise!

    Ditto on Bridget Jones, and I actually don't include Marian Keyes in it either - her book covers are all fluffy sparkles but the content is often really serious. I've never cried at chick lit, MK's books are properly upsetting sometimes!

    Shopaholic and baby was the one of that series I read. Awful. Really really dreadful. Switch your mind off before reading, otherwise it may melt.

    Bubblefett, hope your gran is okay, and you and the rest of your family. It must've been so frightening, well done on how you coped with it! Also the cake is soooooo pretty!

    I know! 'Rachel's Holiday' has purple cover with a deck chair and sunglasses on it- it's about someone in rehab recovering from drug/alcohol abuse after an overdose.
    'This Charming Man' has a sparkly pink cover and is about domestic violence.

    After all my typing practice, I can now type at... 17 WPM. Go me!! :rolleyes:

    Went ahead and ordered my dress for the Leinster Ball. And, of course, now I want it IMMEDIATELY.

    Hope I don't get stung for duty at Customs, apparently they're stopping friggin' everything these days.

    I preferred the crotchless thong myself...

    Have to say, Dancing on Ice has completely changed my opinion of Jennifer Ellison; she seems like a really nice person. Plus, she's not afraid to go on national television with no make-up on.

    My Gran is going into the nursing home tomorrow morning. It's sad to think that tonight is the last time she's going to sleep in her own bed. Her house just isn't going to be the same now, I still don't know if I'll go back. :(

    You need to forget about most of the web address. For clips, it's usually the bit after the 'v' in the link that you need to wrap in Youtube tags.

    p3wXyyE4_m0

    Place in between the Youtube tags and it should work like this.

    That's really tough Jane, is her house empty when she moves or are family staying there? At least she's going to a place where she'll have loads of company, people taking care of her and comfort. I remember my Grandpa saying he was happy he had a "live in chef" in the nursing home when he moved in, never had to cook a meal for himself again

    Right now I feel like quitting this stupid f*cking job and working somewhere that nobody knows my name. I hate it, and I hate women, they are horrible, conniving, vindinctive cows, more brutal than any man would ever be.

    My uncle is living there but he's been so spoilt all his life that he has no bloody idea how to live in the real world. He's the one that really wanted her in there. He got his way but in the end it's probably going to backfire and bite him in the a**e. Dreading tomorrow. She really has no idea what's going on. She doesn't even know what time of the year it is really at this stage because the Alzheimer's is so advanced. :(
