Still after 2 for Bournemouth if anyone can help? Thank you!

I'm still looking for 2 Bournemouth tickets too, thanks everyone!

Ho ho ho and all that...! I'm looking for 2 tickets to Bournemouth if anyone doesn't fancy the trek?! My dad lives down there now, and it would be a great Christmas treat if I can take us both to the match (although if it's anything like the bag of sh!te we saw at Southampton last season...:D)...

This sounds awful, my heart goes out to you. I don't really have much advice, just wanted to send you a message to let you know I'm thinking of you. The only thing I've got to offer is, perhaps see if you can talk to her main friends, and express to them clearly how much of a trigger alcohol...

I go on holiday alone all the time, and I love it- you get to choose your own agenda, and talk to people/ not talk depending on how you feel! A couple of options though, if you'd rather have people around; tour companies like Intrepid Travel and GAdventures run trips that you can sign up to as...

love the idea of this book! It actually echoes one of the best bits of advice I got from therapy; when I was telling my counsellor about all the stress I have (from work particularly) she said "Have you thought about just caring less?" For some reason it really struck a chord. Ever since then...

Sorry you're feeling like this; the bit I've highlighted in bold really struck me because I'm sure lots of people will say to you "but you're great, we love the way you are" or "you need to be kinder on yourself/ learn to love yourself" etc- so here's my alternative viewpoint- why not try and...

this ref, ffs

Thank you so much for that- sorry for the delayed response, I was at a "boot camp" last week, which was very timely. Helped me get out of the negative thoughts (as I didn't have any space for them I was so exhausted). Saw parents last weekend, told them that I'm done with my brother now, it's...

The answer I got from my dad was, it would be a breaking of trust. No explanation as to why it was allowed to go on for 8 months. My brother hasn't bothered to even respond. His pathetic excuse when he finally told me was he'd been waiting for the right moment- and yet, not once in all those...

Yes, I guess that's something I've been learning/ realizing over the past 2 years. I have been working really hard on working out my own terms etc, but it's incredibly hard when we used to be what others would term "a close family". Trying to unpick the toxic relationships within that dynamic...

Hey, I'm glad at least my post gave you the opportunity to voice these feelings. I hope eventually you get some resolution with them all x

Serious emotional turmoil at the moment. On top of the usual bullying at work, and trying to sell my flat, and all the other day to day cra@p that we all have, I found out last week that my brother is engaged, and has been for at least 8 months. And literally no-one in my family told me. No one...

Not crazy at all. Dogs are a part of the family, and a particularly loving, non-judgemental part of the family at that. You need time to grieve and that's totally normal. Hopefully that pain will fade and you will be able to remember all the fun things about him, the little quirks, and remember...

For once Everton get their PR image/ campaign sorted- shrewd setting up of events there- I'm almost enjoying that more than the comings and goings- shows that they've got a clear strategy for once. As for Lukaku, as others have said, yes he did a solid job for us whilst here, but never really...
