    for Christmas.

    I love M&S - especially as I have £30 of vouchers from surveys etc.

    I'm off to bed now. Have to be a waitress at the church November market/Christmas fair in the morning.

    (now what was that word again? No, no, no, oh ok then. :rotfl::rotfl:)

    Yep, they are pink and fluffy - love them!

    Have fun tomorrow... if that's possible.

    Ooh, I forgot to say, the cosmetics arm of Lush is closing down :eek: :eek:

    I was in there on Monday to buy the gorgeous eyeshadow pot (the magnetic one) and they said they'll be gone after December :cry:

    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.

    Im like that with another cat.
    Part of me would love another cat or a wee dog but realistically its not going to happen :)

    It's not easy is it Beanie. I met him, hugged him and we had a wee chat but there's no way I could fit 22 ish stone of dogs in my car :rolleyes:
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:
