I've heard Baisers volés is a good movie but I can't say I've watched it. It sounds romantic and perfect for the evening Xavier had planned! Too bad, Xavier didn't know Rabbit left him that letter because he should be thanking her. Hopefully, April and Xavier can be happy now. I like Lucas and Nicole's relationship but I'm starting to wonder if he isn't hiding something. I don't know why though. Rabbit's reaction! More please.

The Switch and Life As We Know It

Chapter 6: I enjoyed the scene where Xavier and Romeo were wrestling. I'm looking forward to more Nicole/Lucas scenes. Poor Mr Stewart! I hope business will pick up. Chapter 7: Hopefully, Xavier will find a way to impress April. I love how Rabbit is joining in the conversations but nobody can actually hear her. I particularly enjoyed the following parts: Great chapters! More please.

Chapter 3: What a nice surprise! Lucas is back in the Bay! I wonder why he came back. I just love the interaction between Rabbit and Miles. Chapter 4: the conversation between Liam and Miles was a bit weird but funny. And the light bulb came in handy! Chapter 5: I liked how Colleen was talking about Bunny! Miles can’t act very natural. He’ll have to work on that. Lucas and Nicole? I had never thought of that. Then again, Lucas had already left the Bay when she arrived so it’s probably normal I had never thought of it! But I like it! I'm hooked. More please!

Love the moments between Charlie and Chloe! With all those people living in the same house, I can see why they may not have so many moments just the two of them! Charlie shouldn't be the only one to make sacrifices. It wouldn't be fair! I hope they'll work things out though. Poor Benny! I'm glad he seems to accept Chloe now. He is going to be just as protective as Ava. Lol at Ben wanting to make mudpies and search for Nigel the worm! More please. PS I hope you're having/had a nice holiday!

Yay you wrote another fic! And yay Rabbit is back! I wonder how she is going to help the boys out. I hope Miles is alright though because seeing and talking to Rabbit again doesn't sound too good, does it? I enjoy Alf and Nicole's relationship. It's a bit like he thinks of her as his granddaughter. More please.

I'm really sorry for missing so many updates and not commenting earlier. Hopefully this review will make up for it. Chapter 86: Gina shouldn’t react so harshly towards Ruby. It’s definitely not easy for her to make a decision! Well Colleen should really think twice before opening her big mouth! As if Charlie wasn’t worried enough as it is. I’ve never pictured Xavier singing. Lol! No wonder Jessica fell asleep when he sang to her. Chapter 87: I can’t believe Jay actually went looking for Ruby after he killed Xavier so he could make it up to her by being with her and replacing Xavier. It’s his own fault if he is in jail. Poor Ruby! I had to laugh when Ava and Ben ran in the Disney store and couldn’t choose only one toy. Colleen should have kept her mouth shut. Didn’t she realize that she was upsetting and getting Charlie worried even more. Aw poor Ava! Chapter 88: It’s not entirely Charlie’s fault if she hasn’t been spending much time with Ava. Chloe is only a couple of weeks old and was born much too early whereas Ava is a healthy girl. But I understand why Ava felt like she wasn’t important anymore. I liked the mother-daughter talks. Poor Ruby! I can’t even imagine how hard that decision would be. Chapter 89: Lol at Ben only answering to Woody! I’m glad Ava is ready to go to the hospital to see Chloe again. I understand Geoff is against abortion but he could have been a bit more sensitive. Things don’t look so good between Nicole and Geoff. I hope they’ll be okay. Ruby si right: they should definitely talk about this. Lol at Ava’s shocked expression when Charlie took her top and bra off. The Charlie/Chloe moment was so sweet! Oh no! What’s wrong with Ruby? I hope she and the baby will be alright. Chapter 90: Oh no! Ruby lost the baby. As Ruby said, she doesn’t have to make a decision anymore. She may be acting like everything is alright but it’ll hit her eventually. Chapter 91: it’s good that Nicole and Geoff came to a compromise. It looks like it’s starting to hit Ruby. I thought what Angelo said to Charlie about Ruby losing the baby would lead to an argument but thankfully, it didn’t. Good on Ruby for getting a job! It might help her get her mind off things. Chapter 92: Drinking alcohol every night is not going to help but I’m glad it finally hit Ruby. Bottling things up wouldn’t have helped. Callum is so adorable. Chapter 93: Poor Ruby! She’s been through so much these last 12 months. It was really nice of her to give Charlie a present. Yay! Chloe can go home! I understand why Charlie is so worried. I would be too but Angelo is right: if the baby wasn’t up to it, the doctor wouldn’t have let her go home. Love the little scene with the hunny bit. Hopefully Ben will start to bond with Chloe now that she is finally home. Chapter 94: it looks like Ben is jealous of Chloe! I like Gina’s idea of a memory box of Xavier’s things. I’m sure Cal will love it when he is older. The scene with Gina and Ruby going through Xavier’s things was really moving. I feel for both of them and for Cal who will never have the opportunity to see his father. Unlike Ben, Ava is very excited to have her little sister home. Chapter 95: Lol at Ben’s scratching his head every time he has to make a decision! Mud pies wouldn’t exactly be my idea of having fun but maybe that’s because I’m a girl! Nigel the worm! Now building forts is much more fun! I don’t like the tension between Charlie and Angelo. Aw Cal said his first word! At least, something nice happened on the anniversary of Xavier’s death. I’m glad Angelo and Charlie talked things through. Chapter 96: I’m so glad Chloe is fine. Ava is a great big sister and auntie. I hope Ruby will find a place in the Bay. I wasn’t expecting Ben to forget about Charlie in his picture to say he didn’t love his mother anymore. But I’m glad he changed his mind afterwards. I’m sure Ben will get used to his baby sister and learn to love her eventually. More please.

The chapter started with great news and ended with really awful news! Jai and Annie are getting married! I like how Jai asked Annie's parents and Geoff for their permission first. Roman is dead! I hope they'll catch his killer(s). I love how everyone got together to support each other, esp his family. It looks like Romeo still has feelings for Nicole. I wonder who is watching Nicole. At least, I think it's Nicole who is being watched. I can't believe you ended it there! I want the sequel now! Pretty please!

So many beautiful icons! Love the colouring, cropping, different styles, textures etc. My favourites are: #5075: love the Indiana icons and sigs. I particularly like the different croppings. #5084: the Lincoln Lewis, Rebecca Breeds and Rebecca/Luke icons #5085: the Indiana icons #5090: the first and third rows from the Romeo/Indigo update #5094: the last row and the sigs from the Tammin update #5098: the April/Xavier and Martha icons #5107: I like every single icon. I can’t pick a favourite. #5121: the Ruby/Bianca, Ruby, Ruby/Nicole icons

It's a really nice colouring Bec. My favourites are 1, 2, 5, 7, 14, 17 and 18.

I love the Sally icons from Feb 1, the Belle/Ric icons from Feb 2 and the JM and Cassie/Ric icons from Feb 4. Your colouring is beautiful and I love the styles from the two first updates!

Well, that was unexpected but interesting! I think I still prefer them as friends though. It would have been interesting to read about the talk between Charlie and Ruby, see how she feels about it. Nicole is right! They already have it covered and people who weren't in the Diner will surely find out from Colleen! Nice and well-written one-shot!

Great update! It's always nice to read a chapter where every character is happy (not that I don't like some drama ). Afetr what most of them have been through, they sure deserve to be loved. Looking forward to reading the last chapter!

Great update! I liked the parts with Charlie/Angelo and Angelo/Ruby. Angelo is a good father and like any good father, he worries about his children (Chloe and her health and Ruby and her unborn child). Ruby is right, I don't think he could forget how to change a nappy. So Ruby is going to keep the baby. It won't be easy but she'll have Charlie and Angelo's support. Ruby talking to Jay should be interesting. And Ben is so adorable! More please.

Great update! I agree with the other readers: Gina was harsh. I understand she wants nothing to do with Jay but it's not Ruby's fault. Ruby slept with him before she even knew about Jay being Xavier's killer. Gina seemed fine with Ruby moving on and dating so I'm a bit surprised she was so harsh about the pregnancy but maybe she just reacted that way because of what Jay did to Xavier. If he hadn't killed her son, she may have been more understanding. Poor Ruby! She really doesn't know what to do. Even though almost everyone thinks she should have an abortion, she isn't sure about that. Like she said, the baby isn't to blame. Maybe adoption could be another option: she wouldn't be ending the baby's life but she also wouldn't have to see how much the baby looks like his father and be reminded of him and what he did every single day. But that would still mean she'd have to carry his baby. It looks like the kids aren't ready to go back to the hospital, which is understandable. Hopefully, Chloe will get better and be able to go home really soon. More please.

Cold! We're getting freezing temperatures again.

Marmaduke - It was a nice children's movie. I used to watch the cartoon when I was little but I don't really remember anything about it apart from Marmaduke being a huge dog! Killers - It was okay. I like the chemistry between Katherine Heigl and Ashton Kutcher and Tom Selleck was great.

Thank you very much Carina, Sabrina, Lesley, Lise, Zetti, Laura, Janie and QA. You’re all amazing! Samara Weaving & Luke Mitchell Feel free to save and use anything you like. Just don't forget to CREDIT if you use them, whether it's here on BttB or any other forums/websites. Thank you.

I've looked at all the updates I've missed and I liked all of them. Your colouring is really beautiful! :DI love the Rhys Wakefield, Nicole/Ruby, April/Xavier, Rebecca Breeds, Jodi Gordon and Annie/Belle icons the most.
