Hi everyone, remember me? No, probably not...! Well it's been a long time since I posted here, but I've been reading and keeping in touch every now and again. In the past couple of years, I quit DAoC (so I'm not "one of them" any more, hehe!) and started playing WoW. I also had a baby, yay! I recently returned to work after my maternity leave ended, but after much crying and missing my baby girl way too much I decided to quit. It just wasn't worth the heartache of leaving her in the evil clutches of childcare for 8 hours a day and missing out on her growing up.

Which leads me on to the new venture. I recently became an organiser for a children's book company called Usborne Books. They do all types of books from soft baby books to puzzles and jigsaws, language books, history, music, classics, fiction and much more!

I have written my own website, which you can see here at http://www.tru-books.co.uk and I also have an Ebay shop. The Ebay shop is not very well stocked at the moment as it's quite time consuming, but a full catalogue can be viewed via one of the links on my site if you are looking for something in particular.

Any feedback would be appreciated, as this is still a fairly new venture for me. Thanks for reading, and I look forward to many lovely orders :D

I would call playing any MMORPG still "one of them" :p

I would take out the contact page and have that information in the left menu so its visible at all times.

I think I vaguely remember you, purely because you were a woman. :eek:

The website looks good. Nice and simple, which suits what it is trying to sell I think. Apart from "independent" being spelt incorrectly on the about me page, it all seems fine and dandy. :)
