Err, hello

[Gwen]

is this a bit like an AA meeting (not that I've ever been to one you understand :035: ) where you have to admit to your addictions and generally humiliate yourself for the sake of being accepted by the group? :059:

Well just in case, here goes..

*ahem, cough*

Hello! I'm Gwen. I live in Wales (but rather wish I didn't) and have far too many children than is good for me or my stomach muscles. I also have a cocker spaniel who believes that her role in life is to cover my carpets and bed with mud, twigs, dead tissues, sand ...... well, you get the idea.

I have a hubby who loves me. In fact he loves me soooo much that he lives on a different continent for 43 weeks each year :065: .

I am a kept woman whose only (current) contribution to society is to keep my local Starbucks and Costa Coffee houses in business. However, if I had a real life, I would be a teacher :058: .

Is that enough to get me in or do I have to go through some kind of painful initiation ceremony which involves hot candle wax and leather straps? If there is such a ceremony, do I have to supply my own candles or are there some 'community candles' that get shared around? Just give me a heads up and I'll do my best to come up with the goods if needed.

welcome to VC - mmm somehow think you will fit in here :059:

[Michelle]

We can supply the candles, we also have a fetching hooded robe :076: however if you can supply your own chicken blood, that would be a great help :059:


Lol..........Welcome Gwen, me thinks you're going to fit right in here :D We don't stand on ceremony, you can say whatever you want, post as many pics as you want and basically have fun!!

:048:

[Beth]

Helloooo Gwen :059: Did you come over from COL? (seeing as you have a cocker)

Doggy pics are a must. ;)

[Gwen]

Hi, thank you for the welcome. I was indeed redirected from COL, you can blame Jean for that and as for posting photos, some folk on here have seen rather too much of my photo album this week :063: but I will try my best to post something without exposing myself again :025:

Oh, I'm Ginny on COL but I felt safe enough on here to post my real name :049:

I'm still finding my way around your gaff, it's a little different from other forums I've used so if I appear to go AWOL or worse, ignore anyone - well blame Jean really :017:

I'm off to get the chicken blood now............ :014:

[Gwen]
