    G&B, don't worry my DD1 didn't have a 'normal' hernia either, sure I posted this before. She had the 1st at 2 years old and the second at 6 years old, full circle of scar tissue round her tummy button. She's 19 now, never gone away and is fit and healthy that way, causes her no problems. Was hoping piercing place would say she couldn't have tummy pierced when she was 18, but no they did it against my advice to her (can't stand the things!!) !! LOL x

    I have never achieved 'neat'. I can dress up to the nines and within three minutes I've either got a blob of something on my frock or a ladder in my tights or the wind has blown and my hair's out of shape again.
    LOL you sound exactly like me! I'm so clumsy and am always dropping things down me and I always seem to look a mess. Nevermind, we can but try.
    Can we just go back to being pleased at what we have done, celebrating and having a good old moan when life gets in the way of us flying? Well said, I agree
    ROSE - pm on it's way
    Thanks, I've replied.

    I am officially pooped now, have done my dailies - watered plants (went out in my pj's as it's getting dusky out there and I figured no one would see me and if they did I don't really care. The man over the road frequently goes for walks up the road in his dressing gown so perhaps we can start a trend in our road of going out in nightwear) and have left the watering can in the bath ready to water them again and hopefully plant them tomorrow - washed up - had a bit of a tidy up. All that's left is to put heel balm on again but that will be done at bedtime.
    So I'm happy with what I've done today, it's been a nice day - a good mix of enjoying life and flying.

    penpen - all I've thought of you is as a font of knowledge. I don't ever judge anybody for what they do or don't on here.

    I feel we are a community, we help and support each other and if we do some flying wayhey, if we don't it's not an issue.

    Right, I've decided f*ck it over the new weekly challenge, the nursery slopes etc. From now on, and it seems to be the consensus - and Piggers, I hope you're with me on this, we go back to the old way of simple stars for achieving three levels per day. Whether you do it on that day or not. We forget the new weekly challenge thing.

    There are too many bleeding hearts (and that's said in the nicest possilbe way) and insecurities being bandied about (and I include myself in that statement!) that it's time we get back to basics.

    I love you all in an internety/virtual type way. You are all part of my life (sad as that may seem!) and it's time we moved on and got back to propping each other up and encouraging.

    From now on (and this, obviously, will only last until Toots is home) I will only look at the daily list and award stuff according to that. Toots may have a different view when she's back on line but then that's her perogative.

    You are all special and you all do good stuff when all around is mostly carp. Remember that...

    I will (in the morning now probably) go scrap the hearts and just concentrate on the starry stuff.

    Unless you want to throw a mule at me Piggers and order otherwise....
    I am the leading lady in the movie of my life
