Paul, I have my reputation as a shy, responsible citizen to uphold. Please don't post such outrageous statements on a public forum.
PS - it was rugby, not football. :)

Hehehe :roflmao:this thread is making me laugh without you guys all being here in my living room - so the meet-up should be hilarious!
I really don't mind where we go either, but if it's back at Di's I will have to grab a lift from someone (if they don't mind) cos I have no idea how else to get there!!! I don't mind offering up my place as a place to meet as well . . . it's often untidy - but clean and fairly comfy!!!
I love rounders and sports and games a stuff, despite the crutches (although I will claim extra points for the disadvantage of my disability - he he I have to get something good out of it)!!! Games are great too! I'm such a child at heart!
I'm not sure I want to try and evict the spiders from my shed Paul, I'm too scared of them myself, that's why I never go in there! I think I prefer the idea of the East Wing of Di's Shed - it sounds grand!
Can't wait for the meet-up and seeing you all again.

Hey Lima!
I'm the same - such a big kid at heart, despite being hopeless at sports lol! Can I claim extra sympathy points for trying?! I'm better at games tho (*cough* hint hint *cough*) - we should do some icebreaker type game, like charades or the one where you have a famous person stuck to your head and the others have to give you clues.
Glad you're enjoying the Paul/Lizzie comedy show - hey Paul, there's money to be made there! We could hire ourselves out for kids' parties, we'd go down a treat (may have to alter some of the material tho!)
Let's see where Belle prefers for the meetup. Is Tanya coming again? Think Paula is. Then we can sort where to have it.
Looking forward to it! x
Sorry to hear about your Dad's anniversary Paul. Sure it must be a really hard day for you, but also chance to focus on the good memories. Remember we're all here to support you, so feel free to have a mope or a rant, or whatever you need.
In the meantime, enjoy your shed and jacuzzi - what more does a man need?! :)
Sorry to hear about the anniversary Paul, they can be really tricky. I hope you manage to stay 'happy drunk'. Although, I would avoid the Toilet Duck - bleurgh!!!
We're all here for you.

^It's amazingly strong of you to share that with us Paul, and I'm touched that you have. The fact that he said that to you, shows how much he cared about you and appreciated all that you did for him. And I'm sure he knew you felt that way too. It is easy to look back with hindsight at things we could have said and done, but we can't change what has already happened (so try not to beat yourself up over it!).
I have lost a few important people in my life, and it is just so, so hard. So I do understand some of the things you are feeling.
I'm sorry but I'm going to have to trot off to my beddybyes now cos I took my night meds a while ago (and I've had my higher dose so I'll be unconscious in about 10mins!), but I'm thinking of you and hope you can enjoy the rest of your evening with fond memories.
Take good care of yourself, Paul.

Hope you slept ok, Paul.
Can't wait for the next meet-up and to have a laugh with you all again!

Hey guys, I don't mind Chester or Di's, do fancy the trampoline though:).
Paul - one of the many nice things about being in a support group is that you can discuss and get support on more than just panic attacks and anxiety etc. Its your chance to be able to say whats on your mind, let off some steam, have a rant and you will never get judged. Sometimes we think that because we have issues and thats why we have joined this site, that we are the victims of some awful Problem that we are trying to overcome, but do you know what, we are the lucky ones because it makes us even more determined to want to help others, we are more sensitive and caring and what ever demon you are facing that day, we are all facing it with you. Don't you think that is a great and reasuring feeling, I sure feel better knowing you are all with me.
Can't wait to see you all, Paul I knew it was a thong sticking out of your jeans :ohmy:, and Lizzie, well what can I say, you sure are a diva. :winks:
Belle
Awww poor Lizzie, I think she's getting a lot of stick here (athough probably no more than Belle got at the meet-up!!!).
It's great to have somewhere to talk about our problems without judgement. Sometimes it's the daily grind that is harder to deal with than the anxiety itself. It's great we can all talk and listen and help each other. I really felt at ease at the meet-up, something I didn't expect, and I think it will only get better as we get to know each other more. I'm glad we can have a good bit of banter too, it's good to laugh sometimes (even when you're feeling rubbish, a little light relief goes a long way).
Did someone mention a trampoline??? I love bouncing!!! Damn not having more working limbs!!!

Thanks for sticking up for me Lima :) Paul's just jealous cos he's an old git, unlike my young, beautiful self!!!
Belle, I think you're absolutely right. We're stronger, more determined, brave and probably more understanding than people without such problems. Everyone is so caring and I'm really glad I've met such a great group of people.
Personally I think we should rename ourselves as WAGs - We Are Great!!! :)
