    It was this I was tempted by but in last year's colour so was 80, not 890. If I'd known the bargain on the day I might just have crumbled:o

    "Last year's colour" is a phrase where suddenly a man's world and a woman's world race to opposite ends of the universe...

    How can you tell that a colour was "last year"? :confused:

    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'd like to go back to Japan for my next big holiday and really see some of the countryside this time :D

    Apart from the mountains, I don't think their countryside is radically different from ours.

    The cities however...

    Because its not in the colour selection being advertised this season and is generally significantly cheaper. Those in the know would know and those not wouldn't;)

  • I just got back from a carol service in town and managed to embarrass myself very impressively while I was there. :rotfl: And my grandparents have been on the phone for over 1/2 an hour when I'm trying to call them. :rolleyes:
