Re: General chit chat
I just saw @Katie ‘s post on the meet the mods thread and had to ask @Katie have you ever tried a toasted wrap? I know you said you like ham and cheese wraps, I do them but I wrap them up all the way even on the sides and toast them under the grill. Brilliant, brilliant stuff (add salt and pepper to make it even better)

@Redemption I hope your course went well today.
And for anyone I haven’t tagged, hugs to you too, you’re doing amazing.
Goodnight all, I hope you’re all being kind to yourselves (it’s the law)
Cheers @independent_ and I'm sure you were helpful enough, I was seeking support myself last night but I saw you helping people multiple times. I hope you're ok
Re: Anybody want to vent or chat about anything?
@independent_ as always, you were helpful - that’s one thing about you, you literally always have the best replies and advice in chat (and of course on boards too) and i’ve thought that from the first time i met you on here!
my issue is just support chats in general when it comes to me joining, which is why i don’t typically join support chats. i obviously cannot go into detail on here as you’ve gotta do it properly etc but for example, last night when there was more than 1 person in chat but the final 8 mins of support time both mods only responded to the same one person even though multiple others were still sending messages…? i once sent a message saying how i was gonna leave as im feeling ignored as every single message i sent was ignored (surely not everyone can miss every single message? i understand some, but not all) and well i had a message the next day wrongly accusing me of directing hate at mods - i didn’t direct the message at anyone specifically, i just stated i felt ignored and was gonna leave - no hate directed at anyone. it just kinda hurts i guess seeing specific people alwayssss get 1-1 support from mods in every single chat, im not saying i want only mods to reply to me like that too as if thats what i wanted, id go elsewhere and seek 1-1 support as a group chat is not a place for 1-1 support, but more peer support and mods acknowledging everyone as opposed to 1-1 conversations (other than in situations were there are concerns etc), well it would be nice!

Just a couple of messages:
@shannon_164 I hope you don’t mind, but i hope you’re ok after tonight’s chat (no pressure to reply here, but sending hugs).
@River massive hugs to you too, and don’t forget that this thread is open for anyone to respond to. If people feel they need a break from supporting they can always take one as I often do so please don’t feel bad for posting how you feel on this thread
@DonnerKebab your support is truly incredible, thank you for being there for all of us and always having encouraging words.
@Redemption I hope your course went well today.

Re: Anybody want to vent or chat about anything?
I’m just so tired especially after today 😕 got the biggest dressing on because of how bad it was and I just feel like a fool and overthinking like what if security had called an ambulance 😕

You really did help me in the men's support chat, and i really did mean what i said about you being an awesome person. You just need to give yourself some more credit bro. You give huge amounts of support.
Thanks so much @DonnerKebab likewise.
Re: Anybody want to vent or chat about anything?
I’m a complete wreck tonight but I hate how much I dump it all on you every night @DonnerKebab it’s not fair on you for me to keep doing that
