    It sort of depends on whether you want a religious one or not and that depends on the parents approach to it all.

    or
    'congratulations and joy on this special day'.

    Thanks Bookie, think I'll go with the second one. They are churchgoers as a family but the folk signing it aren't necessarily and I don't like to be a hypocrite...

    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:

    Ahh a few more years yet, oh and I still dress like a teenage boy :whistle: Although to be fair my now frame (yes I now have a frame) is a classic boy shape, and I have known no other way... I will get there some day :T

    I have several handbags, I usually fill one up with crap and move onto another. At the moment I'm using a little brown one that I got in a charity shop for 80p, but my usual one is a big hippy sack so there's enough room for purse, diary, mobile, book... It needs washing though so until I get round to doing that I'm just managing with my purse and leaving the other stuff at home. I don't see the attraction of designer bags, but that's mainly cos I'd have to be a lottery winner to afford the size bag I like!
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    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 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 think I can scrape the sub-50...

    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

    I do look the part. That part is "thug"...

    I really must grow my hair and beard. It's disconcerting when the crowds don't part for me.

    That would be it. Gok was mentioned too - but only in relation to how much I don't have his style.

    So it wasn't *all* bad news...
