I started in April and have had just a few wins: 4 tickets to Playhouse Disney. A leatherbound journal. A National Trust Family pass.

Me and Elliott ( my two year old) are having pizza for lunch. Elliott keeps calling it a 'big pie'!

What are pierogies?

No, I have to emphasize I do them both separately!

Another five facts about me: 1) I have Counselling qualifications and used to be a trainee counsellor. 2) I enter a lot of online competitions (at least 100 per week) 3) I collect magnets. ( Not sure why just end up buying them from different places!) 4) I exercise every week and like to do a minimum of 3 hours per week. 5) Two of my main hobbies are driving and sleeping!

I read Twilight a few weeks ago and although it was good, I agree with the others and found it wasn't as great as people make out. I found it quite drawn out and I found the dialogue between Edward and Bella a bit dull.

I'm not totally sure ! I was 14 at the time and I remember finding it monotinous. Who knows I might like it if I read it now. Might give it another go one day.

I have quite a few books . If you like I could list quite a few of them and you could borrow or I could start a bookring on one that appeals to you? Just let me know.

It also varies with me but most weeks I do tend to buy at least one book. Just lately I have been buying two or three every week.

I buy mine. I mainly buy second hand ones from Amazon. Every now and then once my bookcase becomes cluttered I will take the ones I no longwer want to this massive second hand bookshop and they give me credit for books in exchange. I keep a lot of books that I loved reading and have kept most of my history books from uni as I want to teach History and eventually do a Masters, plus a lot of the academic ones cost a fortune so I'd rather keep hold of them.

I remember reading at Secondary school: Macbeth. Romeo and Juliet. Kes. My family and other animals.( I really hated reading this) The Glass Menagerie- Tenessee Williams.

Sounds really good, would definitely read it.

I have read Coraline and I really enjoyed it!

I really hope that Jen goes next as she is very sly and a troublemaker.

I have been snacking a lot lately on Ryvita with chive and onion cottage cheese.

Hello and welcome.

Hello and welcome.

On a Saturday night we always get a takeaway , so Chinese for dinner.

Hello and welcome to the site.

I think that Dale and Stuart were quite aggressive and its obvious that the whole house seems to be targeting Mohammed and the guy who smudged the painting( Sorry but his name has just gone right of my head!) I think Jennifer could have helped calm things down and I don't think that she was as upset as she made out.

Hello and welcome. I have just completed my History degree and graduate in a few weeks. Hope that you enjoy your time at uni.

1) I am married with three sons. 2) I have a History degree and want to teach History and hopefully start my teacher training next year. 3) I have family in the States and like to go over there about three times a year. 4) I love Chinese food and could happily live off it! 5)I have a Shih Tzu puppy called Molly.

I quite liked Dennis but to spit in someones face is disgusting. I hope that Sylvia goes tonight. I used to think that Luke. was okay but he is so too faced and sneaky, really don't like him at all.

We're having King prawns and spaghetti.
