Being six at the time I believed her and decided ...  Read the complete review

I have been off the site for a while. You see, my wife has just had a cancer scare. Thankfully things are ok, but it started me thinking of life today.

One such day at work, nearly 6 years ago, I spoke to a gentleman about his account with us, and ended up ...  Read the complete review

ADVICE - Well my advice for anyone wanting to write would be don't force it. Write what comes and when it comes. If you write when inspired to it has more feeling to it.
