    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.

    Bowling is actually quite a good test... you'll get to see how competitive he is, you can have a proper conversation and you'll soon find out if he takes himself too seriously...

    If he turns up kitted out like Uncle Buck call a cab and leave!

    Bloody hell! Never been there Luc! Been to the Costas a few times (opposite House of Fraser) but that's it!

    Oh its lush - afternoon tea for £10 - sandwich, scone & jam and sponge cake (and tea obviously) - even Hubbles was defeated - we took our coffee sponge home and shared it with Mum & Dad. We agreed that if we went again we'd do 1 tea and an extra piece of cake as it would be plenty for 2 of us. Not really any pricier than SB or Costas...

    The kids'll like the piano that plays itself...

We are doing everything we can to rectify the situation with our supplier and you will be informed either by text, telephone or email when the situation changes, in the meantime we ask for your patience and request you stop bloody phoning because it is seriously doing our heads in' :)
