I was so sorry to hear these news and my thoughts are with Bunny and her children.
Ahhh, my memories of Debb. I'm probably going to take over her title as Queen Spammer whilst I remember them all.
I wandered into the BBW chatroom last summer and she was one of the reasons I kept coming back. Razor sharp wit, fantastic sense of humour, friendly and caring. She'd whisper me hilarious retorts to some of the occasional idiots we'd get in the room and I'd sit there chuckling to myself like a loon. The time she sat on cam with a ridiculous hat on acting like there was absolutely nothing out of the ordinary and I very nearly fell off my chair laughing. The 2am phonecalls where we'd natter about anything and anyone.
I found out Debb had cancer possibly earlier than a lot of other members. I was a swinging noob and I was unsure about going on any meets, and I got a whisper that simply said 'Carpe diem - I have cancer hun'. I was gutted. And we chatted about a bit as my Mum had cancer so I'm no stranger to all that but all the updates I'd had from her suggested things were going ok. Although we talked a lot about what she had been through, she was never the type to come and burden you were her problems, although endlessly sat and listened to all mine, which were so petty and pathetic but she would still listen, offer advice, empathise.
An ex-SH member and friend of us both has a motto in life and its this "there are two kinds of people in this world: those who radiate and those who drain." and I can assure you, I'm NOT one for cliches or silly phrases but I can honestly say that Debb was the type to radiate. She would even try and share in her good experiences in order to make people happier; she told me all about meeting Nigella Lawson on the phone because she knows I absolutely love Nigella, she went out for a drink with a much desired member of SH and not only called to tell me all about it, but even took a picture of him in his suit on her mobile and sent it to me. So many people, myself included, would keep those experiences to themselves and not let anyone benefit. Not our Debb.
Towards the end of last year I was regularly seen on cam in the chatroom and therefore attracted quite a bit of attention. Sometimes weeding those who were worthwhile out from those who weren't became a real challenge. Then one day, Debb told me that a certain male member who was in the room was a top chap, very funny, not far off my age, worth getting to know. That man is of course Monkey. The in February when I had some time between exams and a new term at Uni Monkey suggested I went to visit him, just a social affair. I wasn't sure, because I was nervous and I lack confidence in myself. Debb sat and persuaded me. Out came the carpe diem, out came the reassurances that he was a top bloke and if she were younger she's persue him herself. So I went. And Debb even called me when I was there, just to see I was getting on ok. Now Monkey and I have been together almost seven months, I am completely and unashamedly in love with him, and I really couldn't be happier. And I have Debb to thank for that. And I'm glad to say I managed to let her know it was because of her I am as happy as I am now. I'm glad she knew that she'd done a wonderful thing for me. When I came to SH I was a right state emotionally and I didn't believe in myself, but she ALWAYS believed in me, and would constantly say things that made me feel so much better about myself, and she helped me get my shit together and helped me find love and happiness. I will forever be indebted to her.
I know I'm going to remember a million funny stories but for now I felt that although this is meant to be a light hearted thread, I had to get serious so I could show everyone who is kind enough to come see this thread just how much of a wonderful person she was. To say she will be sorely missed will be the understatement of the year. Honestly, there are no words to express how I feel at the moment, and I'm someone who sadly never got a chance to meet Debb in person. My heart is breaking for Del and for her family.
Yesterday the BBW room lost one of its finest.
Wow, I haven't been on SH in forever. If you could add me and possibly that Monkey fella (but definitely add me) to the reserve list. To be honest I dunno if I can afford to trek from NE Scotland to Oxford, and with a new job I dont know if I can get the time to come down, BUT, its about bloody time I met you all, and I'd like to be be part of Carpet's send off.
Even if I can't make it/get a place on the main list, all the best Carpet mate!
I, CurvierBunny (and occasionally Mavis Fuckslut) would just like to point out one thing:
I was a spammer back in the days when spamming was uncool, and frowned upon. Now you've made it the latest thing to do, I have hung up my spamming boots and put my spamming jacket back in the cupboard till the trend is over. Then I shall return :twisted:
Im going to be stranded in Scotland on the 31st of March, boo. Its a real shame as its very very close to my birthday, and what a way to celebrate, eh?
Sassy, if you can't come, I'll be crying onto my corset, and monkey's shoulder all night. Mavis won't speak to me again if I tell her. So shhh!
Disorderly queue for a good shag you say, Mr A? My corset and I reserve my space at the front of that queue. In a disordered, corset half undone fashion.
I must say folks, im rather excited about Oxford!

Seeing as I'm a skint student (heh, no, really! They're stealing my loans in the amount of photocopying I have to do alone! How is a girl supposed to buy shoes?!), is there a sofa/floor space I could crash on? Anyone? *bats eyelids*
