...for starting that thread when I didn't believe you existed (and I genuinely didn't). I've done some proper research now, and realise that you are real person with fantastic real achievement. I apologise unreservedly for my previous thread, which was genuinely not designed to get at you since I did not believe you existed. I am aghast and incredibly impressed at how much you have achieved, and look forward to sparring with you again some time...

It appears the other thread has thankfully been deleted.

As you were, ladies!

depends on intentions... With stalkery type blokes it could be quite unpleasant.

No stalkerish man. I try to avoid those. But I think it should be up to the person when they want to disclose their identity, that's all.

Anyway I can't find the other thread... what did it say? That I am an invention.

Did you not see the other thread??

I was just wondering whether you were in fact the product of the fevered imagination of a writer short of work. I realise the error of my ways now.

im really sorry i have not got a clue what everyone is chatting on about! Is xenia the princess warrior! Yipee i loved that programme.! Wow

Judy1234 · 02/02/2008 20:02

I'm not anyone really. I think they just found that some of the things I'd said like 5 children, owns an island etc were true.

no, I missed the other thread. What a shame. Actually some caches I think sometimes store deleted threads but I'm not sure I can be bothered to remember how that's done.

PussinJimmyChoos · 02/02/2008 20:06

You own an island???? If its somewhere hot, I vow to return to work full time if you let me stay there?

mehdismummy · 02/02/2008 20:09

what those things in middle of roads with grass on! We had one near our house with a telephone box and bench on it! But if you are not really xenia princess warrior or katie price i am gonna be really upset

Judy1234 · 02/02/2008 20:09

You won't get very far in Jimmy choos on it though.... so I doubt it would be suitable for you. I was there last month. I got lost in the rainforest for about 10 minutes but otherwise it was a good trip and only I with my really bad sense of direction could get lost on a small island. I did that going round in circles thing.

LadyVictorianSqualor · 02/02/2008 20:13

I think I wouldve cried and left MN if Xenia hadnt been real, it'd be like finding out Cod could type.
So Xenia, thankyou, for being real.

karen999 · 02/02/2008 20:14

Xenia - you're not a 'real' person are you?

PussinJimmyChoos · 02/02/2008 20:15

Rainforest....mmm...hot....but too full of bugs....will incur your wrath by remaining part time and instead just sit here in at being wedged enough to own an island......

Judy1234 · 02/02/2008 20:17

They cost less than Spanish villas and it was borne of tragedy. I got a bit of money when my mother died so I used that and a bit more. It doesn't have a house on it. It wouldn't be what most people want but I love it.

No bugs in the dry season. We weren't bitten once. We were there my daughter and I doing her vital university research or that was my excuse.

PussinJimmyChoos · 02/02/2008 20:20

Ahh, didn't realise the circumstances....sorry

Piffle · 02/02/2008 20:22

no one could invent our Xenia. I've always argued with you, but have immense respect for your success and achievements in life. I also have a bloody high opinion of mine, albeit far different to yours. I'm glad you're real, although like others I knew already. Never dull xenia;)

Quattrocento · 02/02/2008 20:27

I don't know what you did but Xenia is fab.

Judy1234 · 02/02/2008 20:29

Thanks.
But I'm not so sad about my mother now as it's 3 years ago so it's fine.
May be one day it will have a house on it and I can wear my own Jimmy Choos sitting on the terrace with a drink looking at the sea rather than rain forest garb in case the snake gets you.

PussinJimmyChoos · 02/02/2008 20:31

Well, I will fess up! I don't actually own a pair of JimmyChoos.....I wanted to be Pussin Manolo Blahniks as am a cat lover and a sex in the city fan but wasn't sure I could spell it right so settled for the very easy spelling of JimmyChoos!!!!

Lulumama · 02/02/2008 20:35

xenia, if i can say so without fawning,you are very gracious

oregonianabroad · 02/02/2008 20:38

Man, I was all set for a fight and it looks like everything has died down now.

Can this be 'real' mn???

Eliza2 · 02/02/2008 20:45

I disagree with Xenia at times but I am always full of admiration at how she takes the criticism and doesn't lose her cool.

Habbibu · 02/02/2008 20:51

Me too - she can drive me mad, but I think MN would be duller and much less fun without her.
