    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.
  • nah, I'll re-hang what I have sammy. They are chocolate brown so will pop them back up. I dyed them when I first got them and they have faded on the back from the sun, but they are fine from the inside. They are never drawn unless someone is in the living room in the afternoon/evening in the summer when the sun is strong so it's not worth splashing out.

    There is the temptation to order some from Next as I got the bedroom ones from there, but I am determined to resist!

    I'm not convinced that the silver party dress is historically accurate for Mary and as for Sleeping Beauty... well she did bring muffins so she can stay!
