Which reminds me, I must put in my order for one of my Mum's Christmas cakes! I get her a syringe or two to inject them with booze on the run up to Christmas.
They are so boozy they are in serious danger of spontaneously combusting!
...Linda xxIt'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.0 -

Scaredy, I am with you today with annoying mail. Although I have been home all day I hadn't noticed the mail has been delievred. So just picked it up. Bt in there wisdom has decided to make you pay from the first till the end of the month on every bill. So this bill you have to pay any excess. So I have to pay an extra £15 this month. One problem I have to pay in less than 10days and my budget have already been done for the month and I dont get payed untill after the bill is due :mad: Do these companys just think you can pull money from thin air
