I think sometimes if you've had problems with depression objects and possessions can seem really important and precious. Not because you're materialistic but because you know they may be bringing happiness and you know that that's so precious. I might be barking up the wrong tree completely but I'm wondering if the toys have come to signify something like that to you. They probably don't mean any where as much to your children but because you love them you want to hold onto all the happy stuff. Sorry if thats come out really strange but I hope you get the gist of what I'm saying. Basically don't be hard on yourself because you want to hold onto all your children's toys, just remember that they will have more and these will be cool and bring lots of fun and happy memories too.
Forgot to say that I'm Kathakana on most of those social sites and I'm also on deviantart too 
You and a few friends could attach yourselves together and go as a queue or you could dress up as a question mark or go as the letter Q with lots of 'q' references eg. hair in a quiff, quill pen in hand, question mark jewellery or dress up as a giant tin of quality street
I've got my blog at www.kitkatkatchat.blogspot.com - its where I post my little observations, my craftings, allotment updates and odd bits and bobs plus linked to my dawanda shop, my lastfm stream, what I'm reading and my virtual cat, sparticus Feel free to take a look.
My first kiss was when I was 15 and it was awful. He was 17 and I didn't fancy him at all but just went out with him cos my friend set it up and I was really shy I thought I'd never go out with anyone. He was kind of stubbly and like Gypsy's experience, he tried to stick his tongue down my throat so I had to pull away quickly. I thought it was gross and it really freaked me out for ages and I got called fridged by loads of people at school. It was not a pleasant experience at all. Basically from that I can say I learnt that don't go out with someone you don't like, don't get pressured in to anything by friends (however well meaning) and when its right it happens without any real effort.
My first proper kiss (as I kind of erased this from my memory) was when I was 19 and was with someone I fancied when I was at school. We met just after I'd started uni and he was at uni in Scotland and we were both down at home for a weekend. It was the best kiss and definitely let me know that you need that chemistry for it to work.
Try not to stress about not kissing anyone. I've been with my bf for about 13 years now and kissing him is great
Go to http://www.do-it.org.uk/ - thats a national database for volunteering. Its very good. You could craft for charity, e.g. find out if you have a local nightshelter and knit scarves and hats and blankets, or donate to charity shops and buy from them rather than new. I always get my clothes from charity shops as i'm on a v tight budget and you get much better stuff and much more interesting stuff than buying from cheapy shops like primark. .
To Sarah E - I checked out Indie Public and have added myself to it It looks cool.
Just had a look at the trailer for Lovely Bones and it actually did look pretty good. Peter Jackson seems to have captured the magic and the scariness. Also checked out the trailer for the Time Travellers wife (another favourite book) and wasn't so struck. I don't think I'll bother with that one as the book was amazing.
I'm on facebook, twitter, flickr and lastfm
Okay, I'll try and get a new run going in the new year. Maybe some fresh faces and we can start another run with just new people.
You should check out Threadbangers website http://www.threadbanger.com/blog as they have some costume ideas in amongst their tutorials. Also Flickr.com has quite a few Steampunk groups and some of the pictures of what people have worn to conventions are amazing. I hope this helps.
I agree on the difficulty hating Ikea - they do some really cool stuff :/
Just finished 2 of the Sherlock Holmes series and he's wonderful. I'm having to come to terms with the fact that I haven't got anymore to read so reading dr Jeckyl and Mr Hyde and still expecting Sherlock to pop up somewhere. He's so bitchy and cutting with some of his comments but so good to read.
I finished Sherlock and now reading Dr Jeckyl and Mr Hyde (don't think I spelt that right) and its not bad. I knew very little about it before hand so I thought I'd give it a go.
