I'm going to re introduce myself as I haven't been here for a while. I had a nasty divorce, my sister had a bad accident, my mum had a breakdown and my dad passed away from stomach cancer, so sorry I haven't been here but my heart wasn't in it.
All's well now though so I'm back to inflict myself upon you all 

I have a gorgeous boyfriend, two horrible teenage children  :mwaha: , I'm slave to 3 cats and 1 houserabbit. I'm working on building up my soap business which I've called The Tin Bath and my boyfriend Pete is partner in this with me.

I've also started Bollywood and Belly dancing to keep fit ( at home using a dvd, I wouldn't want to scare the general public with my new found skills) and am learning Italian, as we are planning a trip to Rome next year.

I hope you've all been keeping well and hello again.

Hello, and welcome back! It certainly has not been dull for you has it?

I am sorry to hear of all that has happened to your family, but glad you have a lovely supportive other half. Can't comment on the children, and as for the cats I know how you feel.

Welcome back!  :buttrf:

It does sound like you had it rough lately, I hope it's all turning around well now and continue like so. 

Samantha, it is wonderful to have you back :buttrf: :buttrf:

Yikes!      That made me jump out me skin then!!

Good grief Samantha, you have gone through so much and I am so sorry to hear that 

  It is wonderful that you are back though and have a plan to move you forward (exciting times ahead).  Well, I am just glad you are back, you belly dancin' bollywood babe  :buttrf: :buttrf: 

 

Nice to see you back  :buttrf:

Thank you all for your warm welcomes. It's great to be back, I didn't realise until now just how much I've missed you all.

Hi Samantha I don't think we've met before.

It sounds like you have really gone through a nasty time of it, and yet it sounds like things are coming back together for you.  I really look forward to getting to know you.

Cheers

Welcome back! sorry to hear of your awful time of late  Hope things will get better and better for you now!! 

Hi Samantha
Sounds like you've been through enough heart ache to last you a life time. Glad things are starting to pick up for you again

Welcome back girl!  :buttrf:

Sorry you have had a lot falling down on you but I'm very glad you are up and about again.
Good to see you back. 

Hi Samantha!

I never 'met' you before!

I am so sorry for all your troubles - but you sound as if you are a little fighter! So, good on you for getting through all of that and still evoke a lovely bubbly vibe! 

So a big hello and a welcome back!!  :buttrf:

Know that feeling!  :mwaha:

Hellooooooooo, lovely to have you back too (just welcomed EJ back too). you've certainly had a time of it but you are back on track and that's fantastic  :buttrf: :buttrf:
