Ahaha, my parents bought us the furbies. Creepy little ****ers.

Always :P

Don't diss furbies they are tiny legends!!

They had their moments.

Are furbies the little furry toys that spoke random things? They were creepy.

Thankfully I was too old for them

Yeah, they blinked and ate and stuff.

I don't think my mum would thank me if I bought Jasmine a furby! Or any noisy thing tbh!

Why not get her an easel?

^ cos nails scratching across a board is less annoying :P

you could keep it for when you're annoyed with your mum-when my mum was mad at one of the family she bought the kids all the noisest toys she could find for Xmas including but not limited to a voice changer and a football whistle :P

An easel is a lovely idea if she likes to paint

Painting is always fun :)

As an arty person I have to strongly agree. I love painting at my easel.

Yeah, she's about the right age for an easel too if she enjoys art.

I'm not great at art but do enjoy painting, collage etc it may be crap but it's an outlet :)

This topic reminds me of Princess Diaries film where Mia and her 'mom' filled balloons with paint and threw darts at them. I'm probably a weirdo.

I'm not keen on art, I prefer to write.

Don't be so hard on yourself. I'm sure you do good stuff. As you say , enjoying it as an outlet is goid.

What kind of things do you write? I like to write poetry and combine it with my art.

I like both but writing comes more naturally to me.

Thanks lovely.

Writing definitely comes more naturally to me.

I used to love drawing and painting. They let me do it all the time in the adolescent units because it was the only thing that actually engaged me.
I haven't drawn anything in a while though. I'm sure it's down to my meds that I have a complete lack of creativity now!

Yeah think mine have affected creativity as well.

Ah well we can just enjoy other peoples' creativity :P

I'm halfway through a novel and I haven't worked on it for ages.

What's it about?

Good news. I am no longer feeling sick!!

Oh it's kind of hard to explain without giving the story away. It's not very good anyway.

I'm sure it's better than you think it is!I
I know people who are brilliant and writing or drawing and they always think their work isn't very good when it really is!

I can put up the first chapter in the creative forum if you fancy reading it?

I'd love to read it! :)

Ok. I'll put up the first chapter now.

Ok, I've posted it. There's a graphic sh bit though so be careful.

I've just read it. I'll reply to it.

Just replied on the creative thread.

Thank you!

It was well written .

Thanks. I've got about 50,000 words of it. I just need to motivate myself to finish it.

*goes to read it*

I want Ritzi to be out of the shower now.

Morning all :)

Hi guys!
Had a busy morning. Job interview then clozapine clinic. Although the clinic didn't have my meds so one of the nurses is going to drop them off later.

I read the first chapter Amy, it's really good! I'd love to read more when you're done!

How did the interview go?

It was ok thanks. Not sure of my chances but I'll hear by the end of the week.

How are you?

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you.

I'm ok. In the local coffee shop waiting on my dad. I just had a toastie, which I seem to post about quite a lot. Having a cup of tea and sketching while I wait, since he will be an hour.

Thanks Lorraine :)

What kind of toastie did you have?
Sounds nice, tea and sketching :)

Cheese and tomato. Yummy.

Hope the interview leads to good things, thinking of you aardvark queen <3

Sounds lovely about the toastie, tea and sketching etc :)

Cheese toasties are the best!
My local cafe does cheese and marmite toasties and they are amazing!

Thank you my dear Katy!
