    Just attempted to have a bath but because of our houses plumbing, coz the washing machine is on, there is no pressure upstairs for the bath, will have to wait. Awww.
    Not an expert, but I try and contribute and I'll always listen. Middle child of middle child parents. I drink way too much coffee.

    Weekend chat only 11 pages long, it's been a quiet one!

    Manchester is now attempting to recover after the influx of DFWers.

    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.

    **Spud sneaks in, hoping she didnt disgrace herself at all :p
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:
    Loves being a Wonderbra friend :kisses3:

    I had a ball Skinty.

    I was shaking with nerves until I met Sammy, who arrived first, but then I was OK ;)
