    Messy ~ my ex used to get them for his office ~ he's an illustrator ~ and they were available at our local art and craft shop. Not exactly cheap, £2 upwards per bulb.

    I tried googling and these people came up ~ can't recommend them but might be worth a try, although depending how much they charge ~ your nearest art shop might be a better bet.

    Hi Wannabe can I suggest Line Dancing, try and drag a friend for a few weeks, but I promise you you will soon meet different people and will eventually have confidence to go on your own,as it is something that does not need a partner.

    Its a great social activity and also one way of keeping fit, I have met some great people over the years and quite a few are now true friends

  • Hi all!
    Year 3 Wannubs! Loads of marking!!Are they a nice class? Mine are fun. I have a Polish girl with no English but we keep trying to get her to understand the Czech and Slovack speakers!! My new behavioural challenge is adorable. They are keeping me on my toes.
    Hope all are having a nice weekend, I have ridden the horse and walked the dog. House needs cleaning but am feeling rebellious due to lack of OH. He is in Germany. Sadly too tired to party!!
    Saved a chicken this week...am very proud of myself and hoping that i will get a good reputation from it in the village(before I get too known for drinking too much!!!
    Take care all.:beer:

    Hi CG
    Yep y3 certainly have their .....um special qualities, and I certainly have my fair share of fruit loops, oops I mean challenging children t keep me on my toes!! Actually I do quite like them, I just have forgotten what it is like to teach them after 5 years of y4.
    Messy it was me who suggested the bulbs but I got them from my friend who went to the states - you know what they are like over there for therapy!! There were some on ebay going reasonably cheap, might be worth a look - sorry
    How is everyone else?

    I know this sounds really pathetic but I realise that when I got married I threw myself into the realtionship and as many people do lost track of friends etc. Now my marriage is really rocky and I realise I really need some girlie friends to chat to. I was thinking of the classifieds or chat rooms but I have no idea what to do and am a little scared of who I might be chatting to or meeting. Has anyone tried any or can anyone recommend any that are safe?
    Thanks
    you can always chat to me too, be pleased to talk,clearvisor
