Carol - messages of support

Same here, same every morning since she disappeared. What it must be like for Greatnan's family can only be imagined.

Please, please let there be some news today

First thing I have done on waking is to check on my iPad if there is any more news. So many thoughts for Greatnan and her family.

Another insomniac here who crept down to check, convinced there would be news. Alas!

My thoughts keep turning to Carol's estranged daughter as well as the rest of her extended family. They must all be suffering such agonies. I wish there was some comfort for them.

Hello Ariadne, another night bird. I know I'm going to regret the lack of sleep during the busy planned day to come! But when something's on your mind, you might as well get up, if you know you aen't going to sleep.

Am thinking now of snuggling on sofa with cats to try to get a few more zzz's.

And when I return to GN, please let there be some good news for her family and friends.

Thought I'd check since I am awake.

My thoughts are with Carol's family and friends. It must be gruelling for them.

Very impressed with the GNetters who are doing so much.

Me too, sunflower! Good morning - and let's hope it is a good one.

couldn't sleep, had to creep down and check - have visitors staying and so hoped by now I would see good news.

Lovely Mumsnet pm just now, and I have to share this comment.

'When they find Carol, tell her she's got to paint her car red!'

Goodnight and every possible good wish from me.

I've done all those silly things....if the lights change to green before I count five, there'll be good news, don't look at those posts and there'll be good news, until I think I'm losing the plot!

On the positive side, I've been responding to supportive messages from complete strangers on Mumsnet, some so loving and kind, saying 'I can't bear the thought of my mum, my gran being lost somewhere, so I want to know if there's anything at all I can do to help.'

Night all. Good news tomorrow, I hope.

granny23 its doesnt work, I tried too.

Thought I would try a new tactic today from the 'avoiding the cracks in the pavement' school of psychology i.e. avoiding Gransnet all day, so that although I would be the last to hear the hoped for Good News, it had more chance of appearing if I wasn't looking.

Sadly, this has not worked. Thanks to all who are managing to stay (or at least appear to be) positive and hopeful.

Just thought of an old friend who has DGC in France. I shall ask her to forward information to her French family and HTH.

Have shared Mail article with Linkedin and FB . Here's praying that she is well and safe.

Stay strong glamma hopefully tomorrow.

Now the news has hit the media and more attention being taken thank goodness many of us have been e-mailing the press since Tuesday and I do think the support of all the social networks have made them stand up and take notice good work to all involved & ((hugs)) to everyone concerned.Please lets hear some good news soon.

Have been taken up with family medical problems this week, so didn`t know about this. I do so hope that Greatnan is found safe and well, very soon.

I thought it was a joke when I first saw the 'missing' thread. How awful. I have always been so in admiration of her independence.

Bump

I've been away all week and just logged on this evening. Stunned and shocked to read this appalling news. Sincerely hope she is found safe and well. Thanks to all who are keeping us informed

yes keep popping on to re read threads ..

Not one for words but feel whole heartedly x

And me....
