    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.

    :D:D:D Thanks, I didn't expect to get it in a million years. I know some of the candidates and they were pretty strong. I must have had my lucky knickers on because the audition was amazingly difficult.

    I'm lost for words.

    cheers Len - she popped up when I was looking for the 'adult' baby bouncer. She's from my favourite clothing website - Fairy Goth Mother - I can drool at their clothing for hours. Never given in and bought anything - yet! I liked her hair colour as it is similar to mine - usually the Burlesque girls have very dark hair. And of course - that's what I really look like under my clothing :rotfl:

    Toto - that is AMAZING news!!!!! Well done missus!!
    :D"Stay Wonky":D

    They are going to live in a fish bowl for a bit till I figure out a permanment living place for them.

    Snaggles, as with my snail buying I am clearly NEVER going to meet another man for as long as I live please share.
    Lol youve made me laugh this afternoon Buffy:rotfl::rotfl:

    Snaggles, thank you for asking! i thought a phd was something you studied for after your degree somewhere, but that would mean being skint-er, rather than better off... although better off in the long term career prospects..

    However to take nothing away from the achievement, i do think it is amazing to beat so many other strong candidates and CONGRATULATIONS! to Toto!! clever missus!!!
    I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....
