A cup of coffee with a slice of lush cake and you'll be told - oh that's shit babe, have a fluffy cloud and a purple heart
It really does not bear thinking about the damage she is going to to do to vulnerable women, who are damaged not just due to domestic abuse.A cup of coffee with a slice of lush cake and you'll be told - oh that's shit babe, have a fluffy cloud and a purple heart.
She will just cry and be oh this happened to me, me me me, then give them a fluffy cloud and a purple heart sticker.Will they be able to have a serious conversation with someone vulnerable without sniggering and bursting into laughter with flared nostrils??
I’m Still nervous after 30 yrs fleeing my abuser. Now happily married but if I hear a car door in the middle of the night I have palpitations. I’m still anxious at 10pm because some reason he always kicked off when the news was on (even accused me of fancying Trevor McDonald)If they make it look too much like a drop in coffee shop with daily fresh pastries and no security lock on the door then they will have every tom dick and Harry coming in off the street thinking its just a normal coffee shop/tea room!! So many problems with that in itself, it will just disrupt the whole purpose of people coming for therapy. I still think she has this whole vision of women fleeing or experiencing dv to look like people in movies and have their shit together when in reality they will be the complete opposite. Desperate women who are terrified of every noise, looking over their shoulder to see if they haven't been followed or caught out, exhausted, battered, bruised, clock watching, the list is endless. Iv been that woman and even now 15 years later I still clock watch and look over my shoulder. The last place I would feel comfortable going to is a shop with a full frontal window with frosted glass that you can see into up close and be sitting in the bloody window on show to everyone!!!
I have a feeling it’s just going to be a hang out for her Emily & stabby jo To play “work”I’m Still nervous after 30 yrs fleeing my abuser.

People with complex issues & who are desperate for a safe haven will not find it within her centre.
Who is going to feel safe going through that door?
I hope to God that the facilities, the safeguarding & the expertise of the so called saviours are thoroughly checked out before women who are living on their last nerve & needing urgent assistance go there thinking they’ll be safe.
You really will have blood on your hands Raq if you don’t do this properly
These mugs will be perfect for Ratchets Patchwork quilt club houseThis has reminded me of the amount of cups/mugs she has, didnt she so a story on a emma bridgwater haul she treated herself to some time back?
No, they aren't capable of thatWill they be able to have a serious conversation with someone vulnerable without sniggering and bursting into laughter with flared nostrils??
100%. She does give her some wtf looks!Anyone else feel that Stabby Jo does not like Emily?
Emily is an immature prick , has to be said.
Stabby Jo seems the more mature out of them all.
I was able to remove myself from an emotionally abusive relationship, without needing the support of a safe house. I know how valuable they are and how differently my outcome could have been. I always imagined they would be discreet, maybe upstairs via a plain unmarked, secure door, not a full glass window which I guess can be smashed pretty easily! That looks like a coffee shop and not a safe place to avoid a dangerous partnerIf they make it look too much like a drop in coffee shop with daily fresh pastries and no security lock on the door then they will have every tom dick and Harry coming in off the street thinking its just a normal coffee shop/tea room!!

Maybe it's the PayPal money, some left over after buying her house and refurbishing it, and buying the followingHow is she funding all the renovations at the "Patchwork House"? Is it her own money (ie Paypal) or grants? I seem to remember a while back her applying for some grants from the lottery or Red Nose Day or something. I agree that they probably think it's going to be some sort of hang out for them to all sit around drinking coffee and eating cake, and hopefully that's all it turns into. I just hope and pray that nobody in serious need of help thinks they can rely on them. Rach and co would be completely out of their depth.
Wish they would leave his hair alone. It looks like someone was quite drunk when they shaved his head, so that'll be Joyce that did it.Out for food and wilberforce on the chocolate biscuits as usual
I've never seen a washing machine in a women's domestic abuse centre in my time. They are available in women's refuges though.What purpose does the washing machine serve, is it for homeless people to use?
I’ve no experience of domestic abuse so please forgive me but I’m thinking an abusive partner won’t be happy about someone going to Rachel’s coffee shop.
I did go back and listen again , she said it was for the women.I've never seen a washing machine in a women's domestic abuse centre in my time. They are available in women's refuges though.
Maybe it's to wash the tea towels and napkins from the bar/coffee shop?
I dunno.. Josh had a fine head of hair he just kept it cut tight. I think it just looks like a mop cos for some unknown reason he let it grown for agesWho was it that said Josh got hair transplant? Deffo think you’re right with his current ‘do!
