Still no Poppy ?

Trevor_PIP

I have been wondering where Poppy is myself, been a forum visitor for a while before becoming a member and obviously noticed she was very helpful and very knowledgeable on benefits. Good she is enjoying her garden and please pass on my regards to her. Thanks.

A big 'thank you' to everyone here - &, as promised, I've just passed on all the kind comments to poppy since I last updated her.

To those that don't know, I've had the privilege of meeting her many times now, &, if anything, she's even nicer in person. We've become great friends, & share a passion about gardening amongst other things, so when we meet we only occasionally 'mutter' about Scope! In between we keep in touch by phone/email….I'm rubbish with texts.

However, you have all shown here that this is what Scope is about; it's members matter, & you have all just shown how supportive this community truly can be to someone that really does matter.

As poppy posts so much as she has great benefit's knowledge, she also comes in for the most adverse comments from some members, which you might not have seen, when all she wants to do is help, which you've all however seen.

Only having had a comparitively tiny fraction of such adverse comments myself, I can only say how much they can hurt; I honestly don't know how she copes. But you lovely people have truly shown how much she has been missed by you all; it really does mean a lot to her (& me 😊).

I do hope that Poppy will eventually rejoin us here

Hi everyone - poppy just got back in touch yesterday as she's rubbish with emails been very busy looking after her grandchildren. She asked me to let you all know that your 'kind thoughts mean such a lot.'

She will come back (once her batteries are recharged by all the sunshine 😊I hope). I know she just needs a break for now (I will nag her later, & not for the first time!)

You are all helping with the great support you've shown; she really does appreciate you all. I type out all of your responses for her so she knows exactly how much she's missed.

We all need to support each other (both members & the Scope team), even the indefatigable poppy needs this! Thank you all again.
