My Mam sent stuff over from England until we got to 21. I reckon that if you were to stop it suddenly it would deffo send out a signal. Maybe when they hit 21 reduce the presents to cards with a lotto ticket or something. conversing

You know the way some companies, and individuals, say they're not sending christmas cards but are making a donation to charity instead? Well, tell everyone you're making a charitable donation instead of buying presents this year........let them work out for themselves that charity begins at home laugh

Maybe a card would be better than a present as they are older now. A card would let them know you are still thinking about them?

i reckon a phone call or an email on a day that's not designed for people to keep in touch would show that you care about them more than a christmas present ever would. I mean if you have to wait till a birthday or christmas to show you care or still think about someone then perhaps you don't care about them as much as you think you do!!

Phonecall I wish that would happen coz I doubt the know the full story behind things but that will never happen now.
I do email sometimes but rarely get a reply
I emailed the oldest girl to say well done in her leaving not a peep
emailed the younger girl about something else not a peep

so i now stick to birthdays and xmas

well obviously we can't know the full story of what's going on, but i only buy for people at xmas that i actually speak to and care about most days of the year... if i have to wait to xmas to tell someone i 'care about them' then chances are i don't really care at all... xmas should be given over to people who you care about and more more importantly, actually care or give a damn about you... let em go annie..

Sometimes you gotta just let go, no matter how much you want to hold on.

Well, I've been here a couple of weeks and it really hasn't been easy to get a response from anybody to mails or comments I've made, so it's kind of hard to tell. But that's cool.

anniebaby: ok
do i look like im part of a gang or that i huddled with others b4 replying???
I hear this time and time again, I was new and got stuck in and now people know me. It is the same for all new people its getting to know others simples


I wouldn't be talking to you if you did. Ha ha.

There's probably a reason why you hear it time and again; because it's true. It's like when you casually meet someone in Dublin and they just chat away and then you come to Cork and say hello and they look at you like Scooby Doo. Well I found this place like the Scooby Doo of Chat Forum sites. That's all.
