i have just read this thread with disbelief, it started off as a perfecly nice request from Ellibee to stop all the sniping that seems to have gone off on other threads for the last few weeks, and ends in a load of sniping. i have seen better behaviour in a bunch of 5 year olds. its all getting very much 'my gang my gang' on here lately, and i would think that people are starting to get very fed up of it.
HINTS AND TIPS FOR MAKIN HG FUN AGAIN!
1. if you dont think you can control your emotions when responding to threads, then don't reply.
2. when reading and replying to a thread, by all means put up your point of view, and reply to any posts that other members put, but dont keep putting your same points up again and again unless you have something new to add, people read it the first time!
3. if there are people on here that you don't like, then don't reply to them, whether their comment was directed at you or not
4. we all have ponies in common, everyone has different points of view on different subjects, even the MODS. thats fine, but try and respect everyone's point of view, don't just trample over other peoples opionions cos it doesnt match your own
5. it feels like some members are being bullied, and some members are being manipulated into looking silly. dont. its not nice.
6. its a nice day out their, instaed of spending the day sniping at each other, go for a ride, square your muckheap or go shopping! then come back and post on here about what a lovley weekend you've all had.
thankyou all
jo.x

Yup well said amumwithapony...... just dont rise to the bait, if someone says something nasty, ignore them. Its then stops there.
Live and let live
Peace not War
Be a lover not a fighter
Be the judge of only yourself - not others
bla bla bla, all the other old chesnuts, but they have a sensible meaning.

As for the sniping and arguing further back in this thread, I think you are six of one and half a dozen of the other and I just have one thing to say to ALL of you -
PACK IT IN!

I read with interest many threads, but it is very rare that I post my own opinion for fear of upsetting people as I have seen in here that it is easy for people to read the posts wrongly, that someone is having a go when they actually arent. By putting things in writing instead of talking to someone you don't get the tone of the voice so its easy to misread what someone has wrote. Wonder what would happen if we were all put in a room together and debated face to face! We might find that we actually like each other when we didnt dream that we would. All I'd like to say is life is toooooo short for all this bickering. Lesley x Think I was the first to talk sence!! We took the oap for a sleep over today and he ended up being a companion to a 17hh who was moving yards. They'd spent nearlly an hour getting him in! So we got Foxie out of one trailer and put him in the other, he whickered to Toffee and said come on mate its ok. Toffee then went up the ramp, licked Foxies neck and off they went. |

well ive took daughter to a dancing lesson with her very giddy friend and had 2 giggly 5 year olds to keep me company for 2 hours pre and post dance lesson. very very giddy and very very giggly, they are at that funny age where you can see what their personalities are going to be like when they are older and its very cute to watch them watching the bigger girls at dancing and trying to copy them.
then went to my mums and gave her the contract phone we have bought for her, instead of the PAYG one that she can never afford to top up, so that was nice.
an hour round tesco's doing a bit of shopping, picked OH up, got a lazy tea in oven (pre packed picky stuff from Tescos, sunday lunch 2mrw to make up for processed muck), gonna feed them, send OH to work, have a nice long hot bath and watch x factor in bed. lovely.

Had lovely day yesterday. Watched youngest son xc schooling, who fell off, laughed - got back on and carried on with determination. What a star.
Snooze 1 hour after lunch........

Dashed round to mums for a lovely ROAST and a few glasses of red. Went to shop on way home and the kids bought £10 worth of sweets and choccies!
We all sat and munched our way through X Factor. Bliss..............!

amumwithapony you made me laugh, which is a tall order with my childrens behaviour at present! I have a very giddy, giggly five year old daughter too and when she has freinds over the way they talk you would think they were 18 not 5! My daughter is that age when she is really bothered about what she wears, you know the thing, 'I am not going out in that mummy!'
