Kittys Remark,""What you see,is what you get" is not quite true. I heard a rumour ( On the Grapevine,Hush Hush.) That in fact,Kitty is not a "Rubbish Cook" but a Highly Trained "Chef De Cousine".She was, and is the "Inspiration" behind "Nigela Lawson" She even taught her the "Naughty Little Sexy Smile" She Gives out when Sampling Food.Also Nigella even copied the way she is ,i/e the "Voluptious and Cuddly" Figure she has.So Things are not as she says.**M**.phsl.:o)>.

Hi Lesley.... hi everyone... this is like one of those self assessment thingies, isn't it?

Right, let's think.. I am more or less the same *me* in real life as on the boards. I think.

I can be loud and dominating, I can be shy, retiring and passive, I appear to have oodles of self confidence on the boards and in real life, but that is not the case. I am an instinctive carer and nurturer... but now know when to back off if I feel I am being taken advantage of in some way, or when the time is right for the nestling to start to fly.

I am like a google search print out

Type in your request... I respond with the answers/info you want or that I have available, depending on the circumstances and request.

But handle the paper badly and I'll give you a nasty cut.. not fatal, but painful for a while.

Not sure what that means, lol!! But it sort of feels like me! Well, ask me again tomorrow and I am sure I'll be different!

Love

Daff xxx

In real life, I'm just a really nice person who enjoys voluntary work, walking puppies and befriending the elderly so I get a mention in the will.

So just a normal, everyday all round good egg I would say.

I suppose I am the same, I don't really know......I am just ordinary, no airs and graces........a wife, mother and grandmother......I don't try to be anything other than what I am.......no point......quite happy being me......

......on the other hand there is Sally the Peasant, who has a yearning for the medieval times when times were hard, but life much simpler......I like the outdoor life and life on a farm with animals, and in a way I think I would have fitted in quite well......well, for a couple of days anyway......like my home comforts too much.......

I think I am like Jill, l get frustrated with myself, so
on here I am slightly different, I seem to be
always wanting to be liked, sad isnt it... but have
made a very special friend on the boards, so my
cup runneth over.

Jax......................I dreamt about you last night!!

You had put up a post asking advice on something (no idea what)

I must have answered and given my opinion and you posted "Kitty..........keep your opinions to yourself!!!!"

I woke up wondering what I had said to upset you...........LOL

I think that dream means I am spending way too much time on here:)))

I think on here im a bit more reserved than i am when you talk to me off the boards or in real life, the main reason for this is I like David swear loads and if I wasnt as reserved I would of had more bans than hot dinners by now lol

I think we all have many layers to our personalities but unless a situation arises when some of them are needed others dont get to see them. As we do get to know people more we see more of their layers but each beholder might have picked up on traits that others have not.

But then as others have said I dunno how I come across on the boards though feel free to tell me though i can pretty much guess what a few think of me lol

I have no idea to be honest lol


I think folk on here see or have seen both sides - my confident side and my vunerable side.

I think tho that I am probably more confident on here with strangers than if i met them in the flesh.

But as others have said - there are many sides - i wear a coat of many colours so i have no idea who the real me is either lolol

*walks away disagreeing with other self*

On here I do my best to stay calm and polite (sometimes I get a bit short or sarcastic on here but I try to keep that to a minimum.)

In real life I can be a prize b*tch if needs be, I have a dreadfully wicked sense of humour, and apparently - although I don't really believe it because I'm a shy wallflower type inside my head - but in real life I'm loud! Me! I find it difficult to believe but several people have told me so!!

Difficult one though because if in my head I'm a quiet shy person but others see me as loud and "outspoken" then I don't know how I come across on the boards. Hopefully as quiet and shy ...
