Thanks Jewell I had to show off my cats!

Better than I have been, writing and laundry today.

No you didn't Paula. He died peacefully at home - didn't even want us to pay a vets bill. Still, I wish we could have another one but can't afford it.

Sadly Gyre that dog has now passed away.

The cats are cute aren't they. The ginger one is massive now - the photo in my background was taken months ago.

Horrible ... Well treasure the moments you can. I spent the last week of my grandfather's life by the bedside of my grandfather. The second to last day of his life I couldn't take it any longer and walked out of the room and sat down in tears! I just hated to see a vibrant, loving man like he was being taken down by a blood complaint ... The tears hurt - then a nurse came by and stopped she told me:

"What would you rather be doing sitting here crying and possibly lose the chance to say goodbye to him - or go there, hold his hand and tell him you love him as many times as you can before you say goodbye!"

I went back - for ... (real tears coming just telling you this!) anyway. For about half-an-hour my mum was one side of the bed and I was on the other - he grabbed our hands and squeezed them tight - the last time I ever touched him - the day after he died!

The colours are easier on the eye aren't they? Would you be interested in seeing some of my book? My email should be in my profile.

I must be the only one on the planet that can't stand Top Gear - James and Richard I don't mind but Jeremy absolutely does my head in and as he's the main presenter it means that I can't watch it ... besides I hate cars and prefer Drama. I am watching something called Hope Springs. I love this show and is the highlight of my Sunday!

Thanks Lucy. Lucy, btw is one of my favourite girls names. I called my tortoishell cat Lucy.

LOVE your profile. How on earth do you get a piccie behind your profile - I have tried and can't do it and have asked other people ... please tell me?!?

I don't mind at all. I had some tests done when I went to my local hospital which my doctor wants to talk to me about. I also have to have a Biopsy done on my face due to a really bad rash!

At the moment that is the diagnosis yes.

You could say a mixture of them both. I have my comic romances as I have my serious murderous plotlines.

Lately one woman is married to a murderer and a man that almost raped her son's girlfriend because she's interfering in his life. But she still has feelings for him though a rather dishy lovely lawyer likes her!

I am terrified of Black Labradors. I also dislike German Shephards and Alsations. I am more a spaniel, poodle, terrier girl.

Yep, I write, I got poems in Writer's Corner. I also have a prologue of a fantasy story in there. I also write v. adult saga's one spanning the entire Twentieth Century. It's a very complicated story and love (of the romantic side), is a lot to do with it. Forbidden fruit, passions ... that sort of thing.

Is that profile piccie you? Welcome to the forum!

Sadly that was my dear late departed best friend, Monty. The only way I can get to see his lovely brown eyes everyday now.

And yeah - I love the Mad Hatter. I wrote a naughty story involving Alice and the Mad Hatter, with Alice as a grown woman.

I am thinking of changing it to purple. Pink is girly but then I am proud of being girly ... I enjoy my femininity.

Awww you haven't got any comments yet ... decided to rectify that ...

I love your new avvie, it is sooo cute!

I truly am sorry about your mum, Nici. Feel free to add me as a friend or even send me a PM if your feeling down, I don't mind people thinking of me as a shoulder to a cry on.

Hey Mia. I am off to the groups to set up King Jareth Appreciation Thread.

Hiya, FIGI I just want to welcome you and be the first to place a message on your board. Thank you for liking my poems. I don't write much poetry anymore though I wish I did.

Bookjumper: Normally I like books to be a little bit less flowery with more action at the beginning - Ill-Made Mute changed my mind on an adventurous high octane beginning and, actually, it paid off in the end because the atmosphere she creates as the trilogy carries further on is absolutely magnificent. The Lady of Sorrows is really the one full of adventure and action and the language less flowery and the Battle of Evernight has an excellent conclusion. Please, stick to it ... the trilogy is WELL WORTH IT in the end! And I'm normally the sort of person that stops reading if a story is boring at the beginning. Cecilia Dart-Thornton is my exception!

I put this in a forum but I wanted to get the point across... also I feel like the only person who's ever even HEARD of her!

Well I've had some really scary horrible bad experiences with big dogs. Give me a Jack Russell or a King Charles Spaniel. The only big dog I'd EVER own are Border Collies because they are like giant spaniels to me ... sooooo cute!

The only other big dog I am not afraid of are St. Bernards. I think they're soo lovely!

Nonsense, my dog died recently I feel like I've lost a brother and not a dog. I have three young cats. Picture will come shortly. I am fifty/fifty, I love both cats and dogs ... only small to medium sized dogs, I don't like dogs higher than my knee and absolutely scared of black labradors.

I am actually designing a garden for me - I am calling it Nightwish as it's going to be full of dark purple/black and white plants.
