  • Hi Piq, how was your xmas?

    I hope, as someone who has an Eastenders love life, you watched the goings on in Walford over the festive period? Twas very exciting and new year still come too! You are going to have to make 2009 a very exciting year to beat it!

    And, of course, I shall be following your frolics with interest!

    Well, I think it will all kick off in January, exex is away at the moment, but returns at the beginning of the month. I will then have to seriously start thinking about whether or not I want to start over with him again. I just dread what life might throw at us this time, and part of me just wants to say leave it well alone. Apart from which he does seem to be a little bit under his mother's thumb these days, not sure I find that attractive, nor do I know how to do a karate kick to break the thumb....hmmm, maybe I do, and maybe I'd enjoy it a little bit too much - Piq slinks off to the naughty step...

    Hello Dragon, how lovely to see you! I've been reading your diary, you are one of the bravest dragons I've come across, I find you quite inspiring.
