Parcels paw my legs
like puppies demanding attention.

I ignore them all.

They really do clamour for attention, don't they?
Love the simile; made me laugh.
Thankyou.

I think my favourite bit is teatime Christmas Eve when it is too late to do anything left undone.
Parcels like puppies - love it.

Made me laugh out loud and it is a brilliant simile.

Joanie, hi and all the best for 2006. I received notification of a new piece by you entitl;ed 'Holiday' but when I logged on, I couldn't find it anywhere and - on the listing, it says you have no work uploaded. I am not sure what has gone wrong but I thought I'd sneak in the back door and tell you I'd have to read 'Holiday' - but couldn't find it. Weird!!
Best.

Hi Joanie - me again. Is it just me or is there something going on I'm missing? Tried to find your piece 'In Front Of The Telly' and couldn't. Sorry, hon.

All the best!

Beanie... Really sorry! I uploaded both then had second thoughts and deleted them. I will try not to do it in future! Apologies.
