I havent ironed since 1994. Now THAT'S impressive avoiding

That is very impressive :T I have 1 skirt that I iron about once a fortnight (or longer if I can work around needing it for work!!) and apart from that, I don't have anything needing ironing. Well a few things perhaps that probably do need ironing but it's easy enough to get away with not doing it.

Thanks Zed. I hope you're right, I feel awful thinking I may have upset anyone. This place is a haven for me, a place I can be more honest than pretty much anywhere else and I couldn't bear to think I was putting anyone off.


So, again, please accept my heartfelt apologies.

Bunny what could you have possibly said? Sometimes I would love people to say it on the actual chat as opposed to saying in Pm - although I guess pm's stop it all descending in to he said she said.

I don't think you do anything to put anyone off...... chat has been fab this weekend.

some one remind me to remind Mum to bring in the tomato plants...........

That's the way to lasting fame. The last bad chemist was written about in books - The Strange Case of Dr Jeckyl and Mr Hyde...

Eli - I had to copy and paste it, I love that poem, think everyone should read it!!


Still I Rise


You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.

Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
'Cause I walk like I've got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.

Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I'll rise.

Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops.
Weakened by my soulful cries.

Does my haughtiness offend you?
Don't you take it awful hard
'Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines
Diggin' in my own back yard.

You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I'll rise.

Does my sexiness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I've got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?

Out of the huts of history's shame
I rise
Up from a past that's rooted in pain
I rise
I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.
Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that's wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise
I rise.

Maya Angelou

I think Maya Angelou is fantastic. :o

I've just burnt myself out for the month, oh dear. Some of it'll go back though, it's multiple sizes.
