    Don't talk shiite woman... You are very intelligent and bright and I don't want to hear any slavver about that. What you lack is faith in yourself and appreciation of your own talents. :naughty:

    Believe in yourself.

    I will try to be more positive, honestly I will.

    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.

    oh dear, I've been told not to sing... parents are soooo embarrassing!

    I know Skinty but my Boys have given up trying................

    I sing and even dance to songs at traffic lights when in the car, and now I think about it sometimes when I am actually driving....:eek:

    And I do my ( Now famous) Tigger Bounce thing when I see them after a concert or when I am happy to see them (which is pretty much all the time)

    And I wave at their friends if I pass them...................

    I am just a disgrace to them:rotfl:
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

"oh baby...keeping me up all night... la, la...":o

    Told by DS? Tough. Being embarrassed by your parents are all part of growing up.

    One day he'll see someone else's parents, look at you, realised you're not like that at all, and you could have been so much worse, and then he'll say "TFFT..."

    And then you'll hit him for swearing...
