28 Months Later

No, that's not the title of the second sequel to the film "28 Days Later" ...
Hi girls!
Difficult for me to believe but it really is two years and four months since I last posted here (October 2005). Though I have popped in occasionally for a quick lurk, I hadn't even done that since May 2007! It's great to see many familiar names are still posting ... and wow there seems to be a whole lot of new posters for me to get to know (I plan to visit much more often in future).
Well on to the main reason for posting - a brief update on what's been happening since I last posted -
Having reached a particularly low point in early 2006 I decided, after discussing with Cathy(SO), to "out" myself to friends and family. This was a major turning point for me as ever since I've been much happier. I guess I've been really lucky as almost everyone accepted my crossdressing pretty well - indeed the reaction from my sisters was along the lines of "Is that all? We thought you were going to tell us something really bad!". So now all my close friends (and quite a few not-so-close) are aware of my cross-dressing, as are my sisters, brothers-in-law, nieces and nephews, and indeed my mother-in-law. One person I haven't told though is my father - myself and both sisters agreed that it would probably freak him out if I told him.
While I'm still an (almost) exclusively at-home girl, the urge (need?) to go out dressed finally overcame my inhibitions and I have visited our local village stores dressed - the only noticeable reaction I got was "That's a pretty top" (scoop-neck, shocking pink with a sequin butterfly on the front). Mainly though I only dress at home, indoors or in our secluded patio garden.
Cathy(SO) is as wonderfully supportive as ever ... or possibly even more so. Things are pretty good for Amanda Louise these days!
