Well I'm Gill aka Gerbs. I'm totally addicted to the chat room and love catching up on all my friends in there. I also love meeting new people.
That's pretty much how chat is so if your unsure about using the chat room, please come along and try it out.
We will laugh with you, cry with you, point you in the right direction when you need help and generally be there for you. If we're a little nosy it's only because we want to help.
If your not into chat rooms and social messaging you may be unfamiliar with some terms.
Hopefully this will help
BBIAB = be back in a bit
BRB = be right back
ROFL = roll on the floor laughing (similar but less polite are pmsl and lmao)
WB = welcome back
I usually ask if you are patient/carer/family. The only reason for this is so we know what your going through, all are equally welcome and among our regulars we have all 3 represented and greatly loved and appreciated.

So glad you are loving the Chat Room here. It has given me a lot of escapist enjoyment over the months. At one time I used to be on every night, but me tapping away on my laptop next to my partner at midnight when he was trying to sleep was driving him to despair! It really is great though if anyone is feeling a bit down, a bit isolated, and I too would recommend it. xxxx Penny
I agree that the support in the chat room is great, i haven't been in for a while though as the depression demon has been bothering me......hope to feel up to it again soon though!
Mean while love and best wishes to all for Christmas and the New Year xxxxxx
Hi Gill I have only been using the site for about 2 months and sometimes come to the chat room I am a carer my hubby Bert has Acute Myeloid Leukaemia and while he was in hospital for 6 weeks the chat room helped me keep sane. Although I sometimes have trouble keeping up and tend to "listen" so I hope that's ok and you don't mind me joining in. as he will be admitted again on Monday
