Last but not least of my interviewers I have the gorgeous, talented writer, runner and part time pineapple smuggler, Holl. Known for her extreme political beliefs (snort), her serious and thought provoking posts (giggle) and her work as spokesperson for Polly Pockets everywhere. (hee hee).

Today I have questions from the fabulous Bubblewench who tells it like it is and makes me laugh or nod in agreement. Not only is she bosom buddies with my gorgeous Cami, but she has also met Daryl in person too and they’ve become real life buddies like me and Holl and Belle. She also has a [...]

Mr B: ”I certainly did not young lady.”
Miss M: ” I know. It was me.”
Sighhhh.
And just in case you fear I [...]

Tonight I am all a jangle.
A shaky quivering mass of jellied limbs.

Arghhhh, it’s midnight and I’ve not posted yet. But I have a good excuse. A year ago today one of my bezzie mates, Dez, left for NZ with her lovely man Jay.
