    Now that's more like it - I want to be curly!!


    Name dropping alert......

    I met Pat Sharpe once....in the dim and distant past I worked for a record company and he dj'd at a launch party.....was quite a nice guy actually.

    That's nothing!

    I bumped into Geoffrey from Rainbow in a Liverpool hotel!

    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.

    We took the kids to see the new Disney film, Bolt this morning (an MSE freebie!)
    It was really good.

    I'm sorry but writing to "jim'll fix it asking to meet him" isn't classed as "bumping" into him.

    Shame on you - bet you only wanted to meet bungle really.

    Help!!!! I've got third degree burns.......

    I am not joking. I knocked my cup of hot water (bloody CD) onto my stomach......I actually stripped off in double quick time in front of the bay window for all my neighbours to see ...(I had only just got dressed too)

    I am now sitting cuddling a bag of peas to my tummy!!!!!

    Ouch hun. Hope you're OK :eek:

    If you've got any, Sudocrem nappy cream is ace for burns ;)
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:
