    Sorry guys-not only has DH drilled a hole thru the gas pipe, he has also kindly unplugged the extension lead the freezer was plugged into...

    So tonight dinner is-pizza, chips, chicken nuggets, fish fingers...

    Don't forget to leave him some frozen peas to put on his bruising...

    The hire car really groans going up between second and third and when you slow down you really feel it 'drop' back to second.

    It's either extremely crap - or knackered...

    What you done to it..? ;)

  • I *NEED* boots. Mine one pair have all ripped and the other pair have knackered heels. Both weren't expensive ones. (Tescos I think?) No wait, the pair that have ripped I bought in Debenhams 7 years ago! (I was working there then)

    The nice thing about the Clarks pair is that they fit my 'athletic' calves.

    That's good, I was writing little paragraphs down and thinking I can then piece these together.
    Unlike my mum, I can't just sit there and write, she gets all her books out and does it there and then.. I ponder over mine and write little pieces here and there.

    You're not your mum, so you do things differently. Do whatever works for you and don't sweat it...

    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.

    It's on "Childhood as a modern concept with references to Ari!s and Postman".

    Yes...I would struggle with that as well...

  • Tea: I used to write eassays by writing paragraphs on cards then plot them together. I found that worked for me.
