    Why, thank you. :D
    My hair (the length and colour.LOL) tends to be the first thing people notice about me. :D
    I don't mind. I like my hair. :j

    hey the rest of you is not too shabby either ;) I've only been around here a week or so and already judging by your posts you seem like a real nice person.

    Sorry to hear you'll be on your own on xmas day, but hey it's only one day and it's all hype anyway.
  • Hello, thanks for the supportive posts. It means a lot to me :) Hope everyone is OK this evening. (((HUGS))) to all xxx

    Tulip I hope you enjoyed your Will Young concert. Can't wait to hear all about it.

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    Thought some of you might appreciate a joke. I found it this morning and it tickled me!

    There was a man who worked for the Post Office whose job it was to process all the mail that had illegible addresses.
    One day, a letter came addressed in a shaky handwriting to God with no actual address. He thought he should open it to see what it was about.
    The letter read:
    'Dear God,
    I am an 83 year old widow, living on a very small pension. Yesterday someone stole my purse. It had £100 in it, which was all the money I had until my next pension check.
    Next Sunday is Christmas, and I had invited two of my friends over for dinner.. Without that money, I have nothing to buy food with. I have no family to turn to, and You are my only hope.
    Can You please help me?
    Sincerely,
    Edna

    The postal worker was touched.
    He showed the letter to all the other workers. Each one dug into his or her wallet and came up with a few pounds. By the time he made the rounds, he had collected £96, which they put into an envelope and sent to the woman.
    The rest of the day, all the workers felt a warm glow thinking of Edna and the dinner she would be able to share with her friends.
    Christmas came and went.
    A few days later, another letter came from the same old lady to God.
    All the workers gathered around while the letter was opened.
    It read:
    'Dear God,
    How can I ever thank You enough for what You did for me? Because of Your gift of love, I was able to fix a glorious dinner for my friends.
    We had a very nice day and I told my friends of Your wonderful gift.
    By the way, there was £4 missing.
    I think it must have been those b*st**ds at the Post Office

    Hi everyone, just want to let you all know I'm feeling good and want to thank all the people on here who have been of great support. I've only been posting here for a week or so but already feel as though I'm getting to know some of you, it is of great comfort to know that I can pop in here anytime and well just talk.

    One golden rule of mine is try and get up everyday and shower, I know if I can do that than I can face the day ahead.

    Well I'm still not showered today, buy hey it is sunday :) ok ok no need to nag I'm off to shower now.

    All the best to all you good people on here.

    *sniff* - it's okay i can't smell you from here yet :rotfl:

    This is a good place to come for support and to be supportive and I again pass my thanks on to everyone.

    .
    It is good that people are supportive but its up to you to build on that support. the best way I can think of to shut your mother up is to do what you want to do but whatever that is become a real success at it. Go the extra mile so to speak and you will win her over. when I took up hypnosis my mum thought I was mad and in reality you dont need any qualifications to practice but I have never stopped learning and picking up diplomas in different parts of the business. I had no need to study medical hypnosis but I did so that i could be the best. I probably never will be the best in the world but that doesnt stop it being my goal. set your self targets in life that stretch you but are acheivable and soon people se you as a success. When people tell your mum how wonderful you are at whatever you do it has to rub off. Money is not everything. Im happy when I think I have done a good job. You are only 24 so have plenty of time if you start now. take the support from here and say thankyou by making something of yourself.
    Who I am is not important. What I do is.
