    What's a nice sentiment for a christening in a card to the parents?
    It sort of depends on whether you want a religious one or not and that depends on the parents approach to it all.
    'May God's blessing be upon you on this special day and as you guide ****** on his Christian journey'
    or
    'congratulations and joy on this special day'.
    I'm rubbish at words.

    Its the pictures on them LUc:rotfl:

    Would that be pictures of little dogs? I just find them a bit cheesy (but then I was tempted to pay 80 for a Hermes purse so each to their own I guess - no wonder you lot think I'm posh...)

    I buy classic bags...but cheapish ones - cant be doing with fashion ones...but then a lot of my clothes are quite 'statement' (pink bow headband anyone :p) so I consider bags and shoes as my 'tame' stuff to tone the rest down :D

    The only statements my clothes make are "warm" and "comfortable"...

    I had a lynch-mob last weekend wanting to give me a make-over.

    "Man bags" were mentioned... :eek: :shocked:

    Is it mildew on the curtain Linda? Dettol Mould and Mildew spray is very good (although leave the room for a while afterwards if you value your lungs!).

    I sprayed it first, let it soak for a bit then bunged it in on a 60 degree wash.

    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.

    I didn't get into handbags until I was about 27 I think, round about the time I stopped dressing like a teenage boy...:rotfl:

    I love man bags - but its a 'look' has to be worked properly and only really for the under 50s otherwise it looks like someone holding his wifes purse ;)

    I like warm and comfortable too, but not in central london - you've got to look at least a bit the part round here you know :D

    Ooo Luc Hermes bags....mmmmmmmmm now we're talking! Wish I could afford one of those :D
  • We don't do Christmas cards, I hate cards full stop, can't stand them up! Whenever anyone gets cards in this house they sit in a pile on the breadbin for a week before I throw them all out into the recycle bin

    Well if I'd have known that I'd have saved my cash! :rotfl:
