    I LOVE the Proclaimers :D
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    God they look young Maz! I've seen them twice (weird cos I'm not really a fan) - once at QM before they were famous and once a couple of years ago. There's not a full head of hair between them now!

    I asked DS today if he wanted to come see the Proclaimers with me - apparently singing 500 miles at Scotland matches isn't a sign of liking the band...


    Proclaimers would be a good bounce!!

    Gemmzie - might as well... would be a shame to stop it!!

    true - i see what you mean... but you only got to know the bits of him he wanted you to know i guess... hey hun i'm not judging, just think you've still got rose coloured specs for the guy... and i'd hate to see you let him in again...

    I know you're not judging :kiss: and even if you were, you're entitled to an opinion.

    I know what you're saying, and yes, I do still care about him, and miss him, and want to see the good in him, because I think he has some amazing qualities.

    But for reasons I can't really post, because they're a bit too near the knuckle for a public forum, I wont let him back in. He is not someone I want around me or my kids, but not for the reasons that are immediately obvious. No matter how sad I am, it's over for good.

    That's nice Spud.
    I was in church tonight doing sidesman duty - handing out hymn books etc. Some of you may remember me posting about a friend with leukaemia who had to chose between doing nothing, aggressive chemo or palliative chemo? She is actually the wife of 1 of our volunteer ministers - late 70's.
    He was in church before her tonight - meeting and greeting. Someone picked her up and when she walked through the door his face just lit up. I nearly fell apart!
    Sorry - very random.

    Hi Annie :wave: you do realise that once you unlurk, you have to stay and post more often...?

    It's the law! :D

    Annie - I usually lurk too - but feel bolder tonight for some reason. They are the BEST people on this thread - I lurves 'em !
