    Well done Beanie.
    Someone remind me to look at the hampers later - I'm half way through doing a bathy one for a friend.

    Just had to go rescue my Mum. She's not been out alone in their car for months. Got to the bottom of the road and reckoned it kept jumping and stopping. :rotfl:Was fine with me - drove her to the shop and she drove back. Still she bought me some milk and gave me money for coal. :D

    for some weird reason I used to hate that programme when I was a kid, I just could never watch it. Same with Lassie and also Champion the Wonder Horse......seems to be animal related programmes - weird :confused::rotfl:

    < Is back from seeing A Christmas Carol in 3D.

    Jess was a bit scared in some places and she migrated from her seat onto my knee. I'm surprised she even kept the 3D glasses on to be honest

    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.

    Had a good time out last night in the end, and was home by 9pm - result!

    It was one of those eat as much as you like Chinese buffet places and in the end it cost me £25 :eek:

    I certainly didn't eat or drink £25 worth, but still as it is the only time I am going out for Christmas (where I have to pay) I suppose it's not so bad!

    Haven't done anything yet today apart from have a bath and put some washing on - feeling in one of those can't be bothered moods.

    i'm a bit of a stickler when going out with others. i will only pay for what i have and not just take a share of the bill. i only drink soft drinks when out cos i'm usually driving an i object to paying for drinks i don't have.
