Added By Lemon Nelly on 13/07/2007 14:24:44 | Update Message | Delete Message I never felt part of a clique, sometimes I saw one persons point of view the next I didn't. I was prepared to meet and talk to anyone who wanted to meet or talk to me. But it becomes clear very quickly some people just do not want to know you. Because even when you state 'I will answer anyone and everyone' some still don't venture in. I was as keen to talk to a new member a middly member and the old yins. But from the looks of things my very reappearance, which I will say again happened because I was up late and saw someone who needed help, seems to have upset some people. You can't win, if you go you are giving in, if you come back you are under scrutiny by some and your reasons doubted. It was lovely last night to talk and reminisce with a lot of people, it was nice to see people like Dave who used to appear occasionaly to talk about his jam making, but I tried to talk to everyone as I srted off, it didn't matter if I knew them or not or when they joined, came on today to answer anyone who added later so I hadn't ignored ANYONE, and now once again I seem to have stirred up a whole new can of worms. Thanks to the people who stopped for a blether last night, and sadly my weariness which I thought I had got over with sites in general seems to have bit me in the backside again. Like I said....you just can't win!

Hi Lems Did you add this to my thread????? Do you mean that your kindness the other night has resulted in people arguing? I didn't think we were! I thought we were having a reasonable discussion *confused* Jeanette x

Hello Lemon.......I didn't mean to ignore you!.......and I'm not supposed to be playing on this thing again today, as I have the dreaded Tesco Shove to do!! So please don't tell hubby I'm here ;0)) I think that the fact that people are talking over how they are feeling is really positive...and it may be that your coming back on has been a bit of a catalyst for that, but it really is better that people begin to understand each other. We don't need to agree. Now I am aware, for instance, that some people who have been treading the boards, so to speak, for a long time, feel that some of us newer and middly bees are excluding them. I had never considered that. And we all know that in general, we post where we feel comfortable, whoever we are! So this is one poster who will bear that in mind in the future. Whether you continue, or stop posting, only you can decide, and whatever that decision is, well, I wish you all the very, very best. But I would love the opportunity to get to know you better, and for you to get to know me and others like me. With love Daff xxx

Hi Jeanette was answering a PM or you would have missed me. Yes I did add it to your thread then thought twice and put it here. I took it my thread which caused a lot of reminiscing had upset people( not you Haddy). I have been scrutinised as to my reason for coming back by PM. Like I said I woulda talked to anyone. Like I said you can't win, you go you are giving in, you come back your motives are questioned. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Take care and really going now, I need some fresh air

Hi Anne, and everyone. Oh Daff I really am going love, but I wasn't thinking you had ignored me, oh hek no. I wasn't meaning anyone ignoring me lol that wouldn't bother me. I just felt the threads about oldies and newbies and cliques and reminiscing might have been my fault. I only came back to answer Haddy, and saw what you had said Daff, oh please don't think that was what I meant, XXXXXXXX Really going now x stay safe peeps
