Mortified is the word I would use.Then scundered. Oh folks ..you were fantastic at tracking me down.I pray though that none of you rang my ex bas turd whose name is davidson.!!! I really was at rock bottom and PP sent me a pm.I dried my eyes and sat there for around half an hour replying.I poured my heart out and as I was doing it I started seeing things differently.I was beginning to come round and knowing people were there to talk to me helped.Well.....when I went to post the pm,nothing happened.I sat tapping this button for ages and it sstill didn't go through.Then the whole site just went of.Like others I tried going through thefriends site.I tried to set up with messenger then hadn't a clue who I would be looking for.I knew people would be worried and I started getting annoyed with the genes people.When I finally was able to access the site,around 4.20,it seemed that all messages had stopped at the same time.I know I should have posted a message but instead of being depressed I was at this time pissed of with genes.It was only when I was trying to find a way back on,that I came across the line about quitting.I went back and hit it.I honestly didn't believe it would work.I think it must have been the only thing working last night. When I was sat here I could hear a racket going on outside and I just wasn't in any form to look out and see what it was.When the kids were going to school,I couldn't face the drive so ordered them a taxi.It was only when I was opening the curtains after they went,that I noticed my van was gone.That was what the racket had been around 4.I just threw my hands up and lay down on the chair.I finally fell asleep onlt to be woken by hammering and banging on the door and the window.I thought it was my sister back to give me more of what she did the night before so I didn't answer. This banging and hammering kept up so I looked out and there were 2 big police men.I asked them were they here about my van and they kept asking me my name and asking if I was ok.I let them come in and finally got to the bottom of why they were here.Lord the night I was mortified.I was stood in my jammy coat,big red nose swollen lips and huge red google eyes.When they asked who I was speaking to last night,all I could remember was pm,ing PP.I felf so bloody naff saying,I was talking to Purple Purtunia.....is it any wonder they looked at me with sympathy !!!! I am so touched that so many of you were worried and concerned about me.Neverin my life has anyone,apart from Tony,been worried about me.Even when the bas turd tried to kill me,all concern was for him,even from my own family.Again, it was Tony who came to see me and was there for me. Things havent changed yet but because of all you lot,I think I will see my doctor and ask for some counselling.I take it there are times when even I can't sort things out and this is one of them. Really,my heartfelt thanks goes out to each and everyone of you. Speak to you all later. Elizabeth.

Jewels I am fine thank you. Oleander I know now who to turn to when I need some research done.I am amazed at their detective work.My phone has a bar on it because I was plagued with calls from the ex bas turd.Now if your number is with held,you can't get through. Kim,my god their timing couldn't have been worse.I ended up thinking there were forces working against me and that I had to do this on my own..how daft.... Elizabeth.

OH all you lot, I am truley taken back by you all.All these replys.I find it strange people being nice to me,even though I try to be nice to everyone and see their point of view.Thank you all. Sunshine,that appointment I had the other morning? when I got there they told me they had no record of it.I told them I had the letter at home and got a bit annoyed with them.They made an appointment for me there and then and asked me to bring the letter with me.When I got back home and looked at the letter all I could do was laugh.I had the right time date and place,just the wrong department...I now have to go down for the new appointment at 11 this morning instead.I don't care anymore about what I look like,these people will think its my normal look !!!! Elizabeth.

With all this support Deanna,I don't mind now how I look. What I do mind though,is having to do my tree again.I just had a look and Im the only one on it.....The other night before I went cookoo,I had a reply telling me that the person I was asking after,did indeed match this persons relatives.The first ever match and I didn't even get to reply to it.I didn't realise I would wipe everything.I'll know not to do that again...... Take care.I'm away now to keep another appointment.Speak to you all later. Oh yes,before I go,the belfast bus company,is a private fleet.I worked for translink.The public bus people... Speak to you later. Elizabeth.
