I thought I'd start a discussion where we can check in with members and use this space to keep in contact. It's a space to be able to say how you really feel and it's a space for the good, the bad and the ugly moments in our lives.

Just checking in folks! I've been super busy this last month, I've barely had enough time to catch my breath! Next month is going to be even busier as I have concerts to go to in the space of a week plus a movie I promised I'd go to. I'm hardly ever home anymore!
I must admit when I was doing a spot of early Christmas shopping the other day I saw a collectable figure of the Care Bear @CheerBear and it made me smile thinking of you all. I still don't know how I'll be celebrating my big 4 Oh in January. I want to go to a Comedy Club or something (not just a simple out for dinner). Nobody wants to come though so it's unlikely I'll have a party. You see in the real world, I have only a few friends and they are often very busy in their lives and don't have time for me at all. Oh well, nevermind!
