    balls.............I've decided the only thing I need for my holiday is 1 long, casual skirt for the evening and I've seen the perfect one on Ebay in a style I love, £3 - I've had one the same in the past - it's 1 size too small.....

    Well done Spud, once you get the bug, you just want to run further and further.

    Do you know why I found Manchester unsettling.....its because for the first time in a long long time, I actually had a night out with people I liked........not people who I am friends with cos their friends with husband, or friends you have made from work, but people who actually know more about me than most people (including me own husband!) do. I didn't have to pretend - just be me and it was nice...

    And as much as you lot (and me) put yourselves down quite a lot none of you are hard work :rotfl:

    You've managed to put into words exactly how I feel :T :D
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    My friend has been round who is severely anorexic (but thinks she looks great) and is very very depressed, and while I feel for her I really do and I will do anything to help anybody - there is sometimes nothing you can do for people.

    You can't save people from themselves. Some people would like to drown because they enjoy the sympathy and attention. Best thing for these people is an anvil.

    I can't find her a husband cos whenever you say he looks nice he says 'but he is five foot seven':confused: so what my husband is five foot four....he is still a nice person:mad: there is always a but to a suggestion.

    That means she isn't looking - she just wants the attention from you.

    No, you ARE proper runners.......you pushed yourselves a bit and went as far as you could - that's what all runners try to do surely, from beginners to marathon-winning athletes?
