This makes me sound like a complete idiot

Thank you! In fact I have often wondered what on earth it is!

Eliza,

Never put yourself down, your "something positive" post has made many smile and given us all an outlet that makes us feel safe to share what we would have kept to ourselves.

Well done for even doing a selfie, I wouldn''t do it for anything.

Your stronger than you think and your posts show how beautiful you are inside.

Take care,

Well I''m definitely not a young skinny green princess with lots of red hair. Our children originally chose my avatar because they said I''m not how I first appear to others, I am less than half the size I once was, independent and I''m not afraid of engaging in combat. Apparently sometimes I change into an ogress.

This has turned into an interesting thread.

Thanks Stumpy - very interesting. I always thought your''s was some kind of garden gnome !

Me - I don''t surf. Well, only the net.

This is a good thread as for my avatar it''s just how I currently feel the rage inside as for my name well I am a girl with a need for speed fast cars fast bike either will do got rid of my motorbike when I had kids it''s a bit hard to fit a baby seat into one but fast cars I love and I have passed that passion on to both my children.

As for my looks I am a little less in weight than I was do go to the gym but not as much as I should (need to sort that one) get out on my push bike when I can and I have took a leaf out of my late mums book I am back in high heels do my work suits are now accessorised with unsuitable high heels

The only similarity between myself and my pic is that I once owned a red dress!! As to my name think that is self explanatory!

But i bet your lovely!
