So I saw Jill's request for everyone to write about their favourite thing, and I thought "what a marvellous idea". But trying to pick a favourite thing hasn't been easy. In a nice way, coz when I think about it, I seem to have lots of favourite things. Unfortunately, I have already written ops about lots of them (moggies, Buffy etc.), and people had beaten me to it with other ideas I had (like music in general). So last night I embarked on a search to parts of dooyoo I had never visited before. It was quite an adventure, and I read some interesting ops along the way.

About three years ago I moved 300 miles across the country to Poole in Dorset. I made a new start, with a new job, house and friends. When I was younger I use to sing and dance in competitions in my local area (and against Mel B!) but being young and in a world full of critics and bitchiness, my confidence faded and I left. All I have ever wanted is to sing and dance and enjoy it, now, is that too much to ask? After moving here I started singing lessons and I know that singing is one thing I totally enjoy. I also needed to apply some focus and so I joined a local amateur society for some fun and frolics (and a way to meet people). I'm not going to mention the ... Read the complete review
