Saddened by this. I liked reading her posts even if I disagreed as she was always fair and objective.

RIP Wonkeydonkey.

Very sad news, she will be remembered as one of the forums best members. She never feared going against the majority with her opinions as she knew her own mind and was no sheep. She was also funny and interesting, DS will be weaker without her.

Thanks for posting this here Anne. I had posted in GD but would like to leave my condolences here too.

Wonkey was an awesome poster. A real DS legend. Her good sense and measured erudite delivery made her one of my favourite posters. There were some people who when I saw their name as last poster would always make me click the thread. She was one such poster..

I will also remember particularly a post of hers in GD where she described havinghad to escape from a burning flat, exiting down a staircase that was on fire and getting badly burned feet in the process. It was quite a story.

I feel really sad and will miss her posts (already have truth be told) a great deal. :Bless you WD. > (
Yes I agree love, she was one of our true legends on DS, with the deepest compassion for the human race. I still can't believe it.

I was just thinking how much this forum has missed Wonkeydonkey's posts since she walked away from BB and how much I have missed reading her posts.

Sincere condolences to her family and friends.

There are just no words really. Other FMs I have known to die but I've never been touched by anything on DS like this.

Devastating news.

I was only recently thinking about how I hadn't seen her posting on here here for a while, as she was always such a profilic poster. I can't say we always saw eye to eye (we didn't, lots of times) but I'm still very shocked to read this on here tonight.

RIP Wonkeydonkey

God the amount of times we clashed, I'll miss that.

Didn't realise she was ill, so sad.

OMG, I'm absolutely shocked at this news. I had no idea she was ill.
I've agreed with her at times and had a few run ins with her but there is no denying she was and always will be one of the true DS legends.

Totally shell-shocked by this awful news! I can only echo everyone else's posts and say the forums truly have lost an iconic poster today! Sending heartfelt condolences to her family. RIP Wonkey.

I'm so shocked to have just seen this news, and so very sad.

As many others have said she was a great poster and I always followed her posts, especially in the BB forum. She was fair and wasn't afraid of going against the majority if she liked a housemate, and so articulate. I was gutted when she stopped posting about BBs as I enjoyed her insights so much.

My thoughts go out to her family.

I didn't know her really, although I remember how we clashed fiercely over our conflicting views on Linda Nolan. Whatever our differences, it's sad to hear that such a dedicated FM and true BB fan has left us. RIP Wonkey x
