  • Thanks Linda-Im not going to say anything else because if I wrote it down I would be hung drawn and quartered for being a cow so instead, I shall count my blessings (of which I have many) and plan on spending my birthday in style! (Which means Sammy better be coming to the Spa with me! And anyone else that wants too)

    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.

    Aww Skinty, it was fab. I did the box in a box thing, with a clue in each layer. Each clue contained a TT song, Well, she undid the last layer to find an envelope, on which I had written 'Have you guessed what it is yet'

    DS had spotted the TT link, but she hadnt a clue, bless her :rolleyes:

    Anyhoo, she opened the envelope to find a piece of paper (thanks Sammy for emailing me the linky to the certificate ;) )

    She read it, still looking confused, then you could see on her face the shock when it dawned on her.....then she promptly burst into tears, very happy tears she assures me :D

    At that point, I started blubbing, and so did DH :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
