    Morning all!

    Happy anniversary Toto and Fran.

    BB, being happy is more important than any amount of money, so do what's best for you not your bank balance.

    Squizz, I'm a size 7! If no-one else wants them I'll have them.

    This morning I'm taking sister into town so she can have her eyes tested and go to the council to stop her HB claim, and I can get a few bits of shopping I need - cheap primark throws for when the new sofa gets here, cheap milk from tesco, and go to Wilkinsons to see if they do wheelie bin stickers.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    Sorry Sammy - I wasnt referring to you in particular a couple of peeps said it last night and I agree that if you make it clear what you mean you get on a lot better with men (they dont really do subtle in my opinion ;))

    Perfect :rotfl:

    But if we wait until we are told to do something....wrong!
    If we ask........wrong! ( Shouldn't need to ask, evidently:confused:)
    If we do what we did last time in same situation....wrong! or right? who knows??
    If we work extra hard to pay the bills etc...wrong! 'I never see you!'
    If we dont work extra hard etc.......wrong! 'We've never got any money!'
    If we go out together....wrong! 'Its such a waste of money, drinks so expensive/could have cooked better ourselvesetc etc
    If we dont go out ....wrong! 'You never take me out!'
    If we do the weekly shopping....wrong! 'Am I not capable of doing it right then?'
    If we breathe....wrong!

    Morning SRM, did you see the news item about the Aer Lingus plane from Paris to Dublin? Did the little 'Welcome to Aer Lingus, everythings fine' speech in English.....and then played the 'We are going to crash-land in the sea tape' in French by mistake.......cue 70 French heart attacks:rotfl:

    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.
