Thank you, I have this and other threads on ignore, so I will only visit if tagged from this point on, as it no longer appears in my feed!You are a great and fun contributor to this thread. I haven‘t noticed any comments in your direction and if I do, I will give the offenders a good clip round the ear.
It's not this thread but Lit generally. I've been around a while and when I first joined there were evenings I'd be crying with laughter. People move on, you make new friends. TBH I think the tetchy mood on Lit is a reflection of what is happening out there in the real world. As if stuff in the UK wasn't bad enough, we've got Ukraine, and all the BS with the upcoming US election. Everyone is feeling the pinch financially so that all feeds into the mood of posts.Bit touchy aren't you?
TBH the thread in general is suffering some kind of identity crisis as far as I can see ... we've gone way off the bins / biscuits / Harry Potter / custard topics that we all know and love.
Nobody is just having fun anymore![]()

But hey - we're Brits, famous for our sang froid, je ne sais quoi and black humour. The trick is not to take assume the problem is YOU - it's just how shit is right now.
Flowers are busting out the ground and hedges have turned from grey to green. Snot all bad innit.
Nope milk jelly. UghWhat about Blancmange ?
thanks @Yesok1No! But if comments are made on a thread I'm ignoring I can't see them.
Yes, ignore the person who created the thread.
This is very eloquently put… the world isn’t great at the moment, plus I’m dealing with very heavy life-changing stuff on multiple fronts, and I’m just not feeling playful…It's not this thread but Lit generally.

I've lost confidence and fear I'm not fun with my posts. IRL it takes a while for people to warm to me, my friends know I'm a rude dizzy bitch. People that don't, see me as a rude belligerent bitch. But after a while they know I have no malice or maleficent intent.This is very eloquently put… the world isn’t great at the moment, plus I’m dealing with very heavy life-changing stuff on multiple fronts, and I’m just not feeling playful…
So, right now, Lit is not the frivolous place it’s been for me, and it becomes all too easy to dwell on niggling little negativities.
It’s sometimes about recognising that’s just how it goes… and having faith that the fun will return.
But, yes, spring is helping!![]()
Totally! I've made a vow to throw away something from our shed every time I go in there. We've so much crap and don't have a log burner now either!yup, even the AH is full of nastiness and snark - most everyone resents most everyone else there. Why be nice if you can kick someone eh?
meanwhile.
Monday is THE best bin day

Using forums is probably not great for my style, I've never used them before lit.
I was playing on other threads and saw what others were writing, it's obvious it's about me.

We moved to a rental recently and threw everything we couldn't bear to part with into the 4x6 cardboard box of a shed. I mean... offcuts of fence posts that might be fuel if we had a fireplace, lengths of bubblewrap, a petrol can when we have a diesel car.YOU HAVE A SHED!!!!!!!
jealous
Oh I love a virgin's fresh blood *sigh*Hi all. Newbie from Merseyside. It's been a beautiful sunny day here and now it's time to relax and do a bit of forum reading.
