I'M NOT AROUND FOR NEXT FEW WEEKS (AND HAVEN'T BEEN ON FOR PAST FEW WEEKS EITHER). I'LL PLAY CATCHUP SHORTLY. BAD FAMILY NEWS...

My personal favourite of all my reviews (barring my most current one!) is: "Do my breasts feel firm to you?"

I'm somewhat surprised and dare I say, baffled, that my titillating title didn't get more reviews and comments. Could it be that no-one wants to read this most interesting of jolly interesting reviews, the secret Dolly Parton nagasaki tit throw of the martial arts bra underworld? ...or is there perhaps something strangely wrong with writing about my new large pendulous breasts?! No please! I beg of you...don't spare my feelings..!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
HOW I'M RATING - I'm going to start rating harsh and I'm going to start rating mean (well...compared to before anyway!). This starts on 15th May for all newly appraised reviews. My current rating figs are: 1824 VU, 48 U, 1 SU, 2 SU)...let's see if my ratings go down because of it...!!

I'm trialling the idea of rating the way I really feel (while being nice/supportive to members at the same time). I really don't like hurting people's feelings so if I do, don't take it personally. I reserve the right to return to my former "nice" character of rating on the side of generous rather than my current picky way, should I so choose!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ MY RATING GAME PLAN ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

NO RATE - If you see me visiting your profile, but then don't see a rating from me it is for one of 3 reasons. 1. From this point on I will only read those people who have rated 10 (or more!) reviews. I'm going to hold off giving you a rating until you get around to this - to give you a chance to better understand the Dooyoo ethos of rating others (while they rate you). Yes chaps! that's how it's supposed to work. ;-) 2. If you have already rated 10 times then I've taken a look at your reviews and none of the subject matters interest me enough to want to review. 3. I accidentally got side tracked - looked at your work but had to nip to the loo, rescue my 5 year old or answer the phone etc (sorry!).

VU & NOM Your review will really mean something to me - I've laughed, cried, needed that information at that particular time, really agreed with what you're writing about, or really want to buy the product because of what you've said about it. Congratulations - I'm reasonably tight on giving "noms" :-)

VU If I can make it to the end of your review without wanting to skim and it answers all my questions about the product such as price, usefulness, good/bad points - so I can work out when to buy it/when not to buy it then you will get VU.
150 word write ups will rarely get VU's - because by their very nature they don't have sufficient words to cover everything I need to know.

U - On the whole minimal word write ups start at this point - but only if they answer all my questions about the product. Rare you'll get a VU! If your review is indepth but I find myself bored by your writing style and feel the need to "speed read" through the paragraphs (this is sometimes down perhaps to the subject matter which is of no interest to me) then I'll give a U.

From now on, really long reviews (of which I've done many!) should provide a summary at the end, if it's a product review. If it's too long to keep my interest but well written with a summary at the end then you will be rated as "Useful" (you haven't got VU because I got bored reading it...and I do have a short attention span!). If it's too long (to the point of boredom), but overall written well, and does not have summary points, then you'll get an 'SU' - sorry I know how much hard work you put in but it wasn't useful to me.

SU - If you are new member (i.e. been on here for a week or less) and have written a minimal review which answers little, if any, of my questions then I may sometimes choose to uprate you rather than give you a "Not useful". If I do this, I'll let you know in the comments section - then a week later if you've not bothered to update it to a better quality review, I'm going to give you the NU rating that you actually deserve. You'll also get SU if: I find your writing style really inadequate (spelling/punctuation/not easy to read) but I think you've clearly tried to push some useful points across. * your writing style is good but it "lacks sufficient information" for a really comprehensive/useful review i.e. leaving me asking several questions. * your review is great but totally off subject then I'll give you SU (if I absolutely loved it then I'll give it a U provided it has a tenuous link!) * or if you were so technical that you bored me to tears although I could see you had some very valid and useful points (amongst all the guff!).

NU - If you have written a minimal review and it answers hardly any of my questions then you will be given an NU. If you have plagiarized then you will be given an NU.


At the end of the day I will always revisit (if asked nicely) to re-rate - and will also tell you why I rated you the way I did. :-)

ABOUT ME

Many people liken me to the Ab Fab character of Edwina/Eddy - apparently I sound like her sometimes and have an uncanny resemblance to the actress!

Previously held over 150 jobs ranging from being an Ann Summers Rep, Security guard for Luther Vandross, PA for Jody Scheckter F1 World Champ, Public Relations A/c Manager IT sector, Freelancer, co-owner of Estate agency business, trainer, book-keeper, proof-reader, researcher, events co-ordinator, project manager, trainer etc

I'm not really snooty. I'm actually a hard working mum who lives with partner and 5 year old daughter. We also foster teenage children - so we're always busy!

I am always pleased when someone looks at my work - and I will always try to return the favour...BUT...what I love most is your comments. Please comment!!! If for some reason I've missed returning the favour and haven't reviewed your work, give me a quick nudge and I'll get it done! Unlike some members I'm not on this every day.
