    Great news about the Take a Break interview!
    So sorry to hear about your kitten dying and the negative comments people were writing. They should use that energy and try entering competitions instead.
    How did you do in the Bagel final, as I voted for you and in my opinion you were the best!

    I'm envious of you but in a good way - as you deserve everything you win as you obviously put in a LOT of effort and as i say if you put effort into things you reap your rewards. I myself have done pretty well from comping winning 15 items a month from 3 hours of comping a day so as well as luck it is about putting the hours in too!!!

    Well done, Liz:j:j

    One wouldn't usually wish painful conditions onto people - but there are always exceptions:mad: although someone so bitter and self righteous probably has problems already:cool:

    I am so sorry about your kitten - I am probably not allowed to put what I would do to anyone who harmed one of mine.

    Liz, its a great article and ya boo sucks to all the stupid comments. I too am sorry about your kitten, my beautiful boxer dog was poisened in the New Forest last year, she was only 7 and was an amazing dog. It took me a while to get over it and I am just now wanting to get another dog.

    Some people are terrible but most are lovely!
