Petra is in Jordan,"full of mysterious charm" "nothing in the world resembles it", "designed to strike wonder into all who entered it", "breathtaking and never to be forgotten", "leads one to reflect on creativity and industry", "the majesty of Petra", "source of rough diamonds".....now you see why I chose it-very apt don't you think?
Here is the link if you don't believe me

Oh all right...I know I forgot to mention "treasure of the ancient world" !!!!!!
PS Nak-no need to reply-we've figured you out!!
Petra (the rock- ...maybe the molten rock then?)

juicylucy is very imaginative and evokes all sorts and I assumed you were not menopausal for a start.
susannah and I are often working on things late into the night and so on.
I am an insomniac so that probably would have been my call sign.

No Karen, it's all in working order thank goodness! Perhaps my imagination is more vivid than I realised!?... |

I have 3 young children, one of whom has special needs and is disabled, as well as a husband away at sea for months on end, oh and a part time PN job and studying for my asthma diploma and soon to start the COPD diploma.
I think that explains my username! :-D |

My name is a bit of a mistake!
My husband comes from Plymouth and we use that for some passwords (with variations). I tried to put plymouth1 as my password but obviously missed out the L. It too me a few weeks to work out my mistake, as I tried in vain to log onto this site.
....So no, I don't eat lots of pies... (I got to this size without doing that!)

my name comes from our old rescue cats-
alfie was the first pet me and my husband got after we were told we couldnt have children, we spoilt him rotten he used to walk to the pub with us and everything, unfortunatly he got into a fight with a ford focus, but at least the squirrel he was chasing got flattened too! broke our hearts.
Meg AKA (smeghead from red dwarf) was a kitten that no one wanted and we took in, but after a few months she went to live with the couple over the road and never came back!
bit sad but my way of remembering them
have two new cats now sad sam and psycho max, again both rescues  |

Middle of the day here! Currently in the states whilst hubby at a conference, no kids with us and not the sort to gad about in the evening on my own. Had finished terrorising all my chums on FB so thought I would check in and see what is happening on here!
Also missing my rescue cats right now, oh, and you all have better weather than I do! |

Mine is a nickname that has stuck from my youth.... One night after lots of snakebite I went to bed with my trousers on, one shoe off and one shoe on and got stuck with being called Diddle Dumpling for years!
