    I love writing in my diary and it makes me really happy when someone posts on mine. I started to read some other diaries too and I find they give me a lift. I love it when people do well and even on their down days they usually have feelings which I can identify with too.

    I regularly only read about four which are updated now and another which is rarely updated but I always check. I should subscribe to them really, but I always forget to!

    I find it hard enough to keep up with the pace of my own diary let alone anyone elses.. lol.. but I regularly check in on 4 or 5 of my favourites even if I don't post very often. :) It's great to see how people are doing...

    I occasionally read the odd post but I feel kind of naughty reading diaries! Re-name them blogs then I will be more nosey!

    I really am a daft sod at times!

    I read pretty much all of them, even if I don't post....I love reading them, I'm soooo nosey and like to know what people are up to. I don't post quite so often now I've got Natasha to keep me company through the day, but I read them while I feed her! I quite often laugh so much that she stops feeding and either bites me or scowls at me lol!

    In my diaries folder - in subscriptions, I have 21 diaries. But not all of those are current.

    I do read some diaries that I'm not subscribed to - they just pop up as new posts everytime I start MSE.

    I have been know to PM people and tell them to update... :whistle:

    I guess I'm a bit of a diaries addict.

    All those people who hate the diaries, must be burning my effigy right about now...

    It was a diary that got me hooked on DFW but she's not posting anymore and I miss her! I read about 4 or 5 regularly but don't often post but I'm probably more up to date with these than the soaps these days.

    So who was that then?

    I do it in a noisy manner. You should do likewise. It encourages people when you post in their diaries. Then know then that they have readers and they should continue to update.

    ZTD,

    Thought we weren't naming names! It was the Oakdale Minx and I did post on her thread although not as a regular. Sometimes it's difficult knowing whether or not to join in as people sometimes seem to be having a private conversation. Have posted on a few now though but tend to keep up more if they are on the first page when I log in.
