ddickinson: Normally I don't let these things bother me, I have had a lot worse from people who seem to feel the need to share their offensive opinions with me. It's something I have had to deal with ever since me and my partner became a couple. It's not usually an issue, most people are nice, but there are always those who look for any reason to be abusive. I'm okay, feeling much better now thanks to a lovely message my partner sent me, so I have my usual smiley face back on now.
*big hug*
Sorry your dealing with that :/
I know how it is, it's not exactly the same but me and my girlfriend get a fair share of the judgemental rubbish too (let's just say she's a little older than me... ;) ) and usually it's fine but it can be very annoying (especially if someone does it a lot).
Well, I have some good news to share, we've just had another local regular pitch confirmed :)
Not sure it will be great, but we've traded in the area and people are positive about what we do and it's similar to the other one we just started. So business is finally looking up and hopefully once they both get established our money problems will be mostly sorted :)
Might even be able to afford to rent somewhere of our own if things go very well.
