    Its all on again now.

    Help! I need a gothic novel character to dress up as for world book day...only in this sexist world there are not too many portly middle aged female characters who are recognizable.

    Wuthering Heights counts as a gothic novel, you know - go as Cathy!

    Started thinking over the Poe tales and realised none of that would be easily identifiable and that's the problem. You either have to settle for something non recognisable and spend hours explaining or easily recognisable and maybe not your actual body shape. Sexist genre isn't it?
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!

    It is soooo sexist.
    KC I refer you to my previous answer.

    TG suggested "woman in black" or Morticia Addams, apparently the Addams family was a book first. My TG are FABULOUS.
