    I was more upset about that, glad it's a hoax. It's a shame about Michael Jackson but GMTV have been going on about it for ages only stopping for local news, I need to find the remote!

    Me too once I realised it was a hoax, :mad:who does that :mad:??????????

    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.

    The refund was for 2 books that a lady ordered and are reprinting with no date. Obviously only fair to refund.
    Just gone onto internet banking. Been charged 2 lots of £25 for payment reviews as a cheque didn't clear in time! Grrrr.:mad:

    Bookie could do with a party.
