Everyone has their own story about how you met your spouse. How did you know that the person you married was indeed the one for you?

Kirstylee I actually married someone I knew wasn't right for me, (long story, I'll tell it another day) but eventually I met the right man for me. I was talking about this with some friends today and we agreed that when you know you just know; for me it was about...

Kirstylee I tend to drink red wine which is the worst thing to do! ideally you should create natural endorphins by exercising which, when I've sobered up a bit, I do make a point of doing. If I'm really depressed then I see my doctor or my alternative health...

Kirstylee Hi, Her book with Marion Zimmer Bradley was Tiger Tiger, and her books with Andre Norton were a series involving Bards / elfs / gypsys / and strange bird like crreatures but for the life of me I can't remember the titles this early in the morning.

Kirstylee I tip depending on the service received. If it was a 'cheap' meal with very good service i'll go up to 25%. If it was an expensive meal (£50 per head+) and the service was ok then i'll only tip 5% - if it is exceptional at that price per head i'll tip 15%...

I'm pretty excited to see the Buffy story continue, as I think it's my favorite show...ever. While I would have perfered TV, I already read comics pretty regularly, so I'm comfortable with that format. How do you feel about it?

Kirstylee I'm dissapointed it's in comic book form - but my boyfriend reads a lot of comics and has said he will get them me (I've never read a comic before - this could be the start of a new addiction). I was hoping for a season showing all the 'new' slayers.

Kirstylee I am a smoker by habit as well. I rarely smoke a whole ciggerette, normally a third to a half of one, and I do that 20 times a day. Chewing gum does work - but only if you reach for that instead of a ciggie.

Kirstylee Mine curls up on the bed - except in summer when we have the fan blowing in the room then she sleeps elsewhere as it ruffles her fur.

Kirstylee I spent many years coping with 3 or 4 hours per night but as I've got older I find I need 8 hours. As for doing something useful instead, I find that if I actually awake rested then I'm more enthusiastic, cheeful and accurate the following day.
