Hi all,
Just wanted to say a huge big Thank you to all of the wonderful people on here who have unfailingly given me so much love, advice and support this year.
Those who know me know that life has been difficult PA wise, add to that my Grandad's passing this summer, the anniversaries of beloved children, broken wrist, a rather scary reaction to Humira and all, it is has been a hard year. But you know, I strongly believe that it's not what life throws at you that makes your character but how you deal with it.
Can I say again, I could not have coped without the love I've had from people here, you shown endless patience, tolerated my moans and whingeing and given freely of your time and care.
I don't know of any forum that could have done all that for me other than this one.
Thankyou, all of you and may our next year together be a peaceful and kinder one for all.

    What a lovely post. I agree, the people on here have seen me through a really crappy year.

    Whenever I'm feeling down, I come onto this site and I can guarantee there will be at least one thing on here that makes me smile.

    Fantastic people each and every one of them.

    Heres hoping we'll all have a better 2012 xxxx

    (((Poppy))) What a lovely post and I agree wholeheartedly. However I have to add that for me you have been a treasure. Even whilst being so poorly yourself, you have given me support and encouragement. Thank you.

    A HUGE thank you to all the others who have helped me. :grin:

    Poppy that was really sweet, but you have given love out as well as recieved it, I hope you have a peaceful and painfree Christmas and that 2012 is a better year for you and sends some good vibes your way!
    I wanted to say I can feel the love on this thread! So while we are all spreading the love, I want to thank everyone for the kind messages when I was poorly in hospital and all the people who have given pocket duties for me. And I want to pass a big thank you to Tracey for my great day when we went to see breaking dawn, it felt so good to escape the house and have a girly day for the 1st time in 4yrs! And I want to wish everyone a merry and painfree Christmas and a positive and better new year!

    Poppy, what goes around comes around. You support everyone else on here and you've definitely 'earned' any you get back.

    I hope you, Mr Poppy and your 3 lovely lads have a great Christmas. I've ordered a Happy New Year for you too.
