    Just to let you all know I have my bad points to...

    I hate bathing the little ones don't know why I just do

    I hate hot weather..the colder the better....(yes even now when its -8)

    I have no dress sense whatso ever..I have a t-shirt that I still wear that is now around 15 years old... most of my clothes are coverd in various paint and oil stains...

    I love reading almost to an obssesion...I read in the bath untill the water gets cold..let the water out and have been known to sit in an empty bath still reading for around an hour...

    I get really grumpy when im tired.....and i hate indirect questions....

    Morning, flying visit, off to help DP sort some of the disability groups bikes, can see me getting mucky again but all worth it as loads of kids get enjoyment out of them :)

    quote]

    My son has such a bike on loan at the moment and it is so appreciated. Special needs bikes cost so much money and it's great to let the kids share bikes when they are outgrown so quickly. So thankyou for getting muddy and letting children like my little terror get so much enjoyment. :beer:
