Sheila I was Helen.Frank never upset me.Helen was my birth name ,but I decided to change to my proper name.PLEASE LET THIS DROP now.I think Frank has gone!

Dear people on MELS SITE.

I came on this site because Mel asked me and was honoured to do so. I am sorry Franks decided to leave because of me and I have sent him a email to ask him to come back you all like him and I do not want to be responsible for him leaving.

I am absolutely gutted over this and crying so much and do not know how this all started. I will never ever trust another person in my life.

I never said one word to hurt anyone .
I am still on my other site and only had one problem which I told you about when I said I worked for Alan Tichmarsh
and someone came on being rude. he insulted me previously about my age that person.I contacted the site and it got sorted

I do not want to be on a thread site that Franks left because of me what do you think I am and to be honest
will not report him it is not worth the agro .But his insults are
on the web for all to see wether he thought me rude or not
I was grateful he offered to send the book even though he could not remember who asked and I asked my daughter to text him while I was away sending my address I also said please send me your address and I will send you a christmas card he did not answer me.
I had several jokes that he sent and thanked him for and have never once insulted him. I also aplogised today and
said it was a misunderstanding.

I do not want to loose this thread but I feel that it would not be right for me to stay knowing how bad you must feel loosing Frank and apologise to Mel and everyone for spoiling your happy thread site. However I do consider Frank was very rude to me but would like to thank you all for any kindness shown. Frank will come back he wants to teach me a lesson by going he knows I would not be wanted on this site if he was not on it. Nobody came on and said Fank you are being rude so I know where the loyalty lies maybe everyone is keeping out of it do not blame you. I hope you get back to normal with a nice chatty
thread. SINCERLY SHEILA

The interesting person I have in my tree was a Pikeman who fought in the Spanish Armarda.

I have one relly who was caught stealing from the church box and transported to Oz.

I have shoemakers, Ag. Labs, Farmers,Publicans and Beer House Keepers, Weavers of Silk Velvet, Brickmakers and Layers, Tailoresses, Drapers, Soldiers, Millers, Postmen, Tin Plate Workers, Brewers and all kinds of builders and Plasterers, just to name but a few occupations.

Sheila I don't want any more problems with this site. Please don't think I was getting at you. I can assure you I was'nt.


We all enjoy your posts and don't want to loose you or Frank.

We have already had the site wiped by GR twice now at least and I want no trouble at this time in my life when I can't always sort you lot out with having to spend so much time with mum.

Just take a little time to think of me and how upset I feel that my site is not running smoothly at present.

I have just popped back to say. SHELIA, look back on the theread and where did I insult you. NO WHERE. you took upon yourself to say "HOW ANNOYED YOUR SON WAS WITH ME " What the hell has it got to do with him, or you. Please leave me alone before I really get upset. Then Genes will take the thread away. Whith what I could say to you. They wouldn't allow the language.

Do not want to get the site a bad name Mel please forget it all. its a great little site and you should be proud of it and your efforts sorry. xx

For goodness sake frank belt up

Sofia is ok just got a cold, and a bit run down, both her and daughter no 1 slept for 11/2 hours this afternoon. so I was happy to leave them and go home.

Night night Everyone,

I won't be around for a couple of days. Tomorrow I'm dragging Andrew to the dentist to sort his tooth out. The dentist is going to try to fill it.... but it might have to be extraced.Poor OH has a phobia after attending one of those medical lectures and hearing about what can go wrong.... Even with the injection. Doesn't bear thinking about.
The following day one of my friends is calling to see us. She now lives in Germany and I often stay with her when I'm working.
So take care.

Catie x

Did I miss something?
How do I proceed further bak on the maternal line of my family tree?
Ive got back 5 or 6 generations, now I'm stuck.

Sheila, Mel hasn't been in trouble with GR like you say. They just whooshed the thread. The trouble she was referring to was the trouble there has been on here today. Mel has her hands full at the moment with her poor mum, so let tomorrow start afresh with NO MORE of this.

Don't ask David.The dust will settle.
Catie I hope you have a great time with your friend and that OH get's that tooth sorted.See you back soon.

Frank sends his love and will be back soon.
Night Night xx

Evening all thats what Jack Warner would say but I am not a policeman but the culprit that offended Mr Bedworth
and came on this site to see exactly what was going on.

I do aplogise to the gentleman it must have been annoying some unknown person suggesting he should not intervene with police matters but was trying to help i.e. my mother also.

I do wonder why the gent left the site and got so worked up when he was insulting my mum and she not him

To the lady concerned about Mel I agree it must stop my mum is ill the strain of the year took its toll and she poured her heart out to you all .However she came refreshed and came right back on your site I have read her messages she did not say anything to warrent that attack of insult from Mr Bedford she was tired and really upset this evening and not one of you came on in her defence.

How would you feel if someone attacked you with abuse like that and said you were leaving and had caused problems on another site. I would not talk to anyone like that on a web site he was out of order.

Just because he chose to leave does not make him a hero and my mother the villian of the piece.

Do you think mum is coming on tomorrow to get further abuse she is intelligent enough to realise its a web site
not a slanging match.

I sincerely apologise for what I said hope that you have sent Mr Bedford the same message.

As the person that this upset perpetrated from, I have to say that I simply cannot understand what has caused all this fuss. I have read through on the thread (admittedly not e-mails) all the comments that have been made and I cannot for the life of me understand what is was that Frank said that caused this furore. As far as I can see he was sympathetic to what was, lets face it our stupidity, and was only commenting on his own way of dealing with things, which he is entitled to do, and I for one, found both helpful and not the least objectionable in any way! I have to say one thing though which I feel strongly about, and that is the comment about the reason for Franks stroke. I'm sorry Sheila, I appreciate that you feel hard done by here, but that was completely 'out of order', I can only presume that you have never had any dealings with people who have suffered in this way. At best it is VERY debilitating and extremely frightening. Comments like that are very hurtful, and should never be used in any sort of argument . Big apology is called for here I would have thought! Enough said, I'm not prepared to comment on it further, and am now going to get on with Hsework, and think up a money MAKING scheme!!! like everyone else I like popping in and out of this thread and would be very sad if it closed because of this, lets hope NOT.

Morning all
Cloudy day just going to stay at home today and do some house work build up my strength for babysitting tomorrow, seems like Sofia had a better night last night so everyone is feeling much better, It's amazing how a goodnight sleep makes the next day easier to cope with.

Coffee time. hope we all have a good day
catch up later

Well hear I am after laying awake for most of the night.

I certainly did'nt get a good nights sleep.

I would be very very gratefull if everything can just carry on as normal from now on please.

Lets just put yesterday behind us.

I live out in the middle of nowhere and you lot are the only real friends I have.

It's dry but cloudy here today and quite cold.


I would like to just say thankyou to Sheila's son for his comments and I don't want to hear anymore about this problem anymore.

Everyone is welcome on this site and I don't want to loose any of you.........................................

Morning All
I slept like a log .Brilliant it was ,and I didn't want to get out of bed this morning.But I had this brown 4 legged creature sat on the bed giving That Look! lol
It is brighter (slightly) than yesterday,at least it is dry.I think slightly muggy too.
I'm glad Sofia is ok Fiona.It's horrible when babies are miserable because of teething.

Elizabeth,how about a Boot Sale with things you are clearing out in preparation of your move!.I did one a couple of years back and I think I made nearly £300 !!.I couldn't believe it.

I hope Mel has had a good night and that her Mum has a little food today.
Off to sort some laundry.BBL

You sneaked in there Mel.Sorry you had a bad night.Tonight will be a better one I'm sure.
I don't think we saw Mandy yesterday did we?
