    Just thought I would add that I am a massive Only Fools and Horses fan ;)
    I love most music: back in the day it was Squeeze now I like Kings of Leon, U2, Blues, Bon Jovi etc the list goes on. Not much for dance though :confused:

    Bless! I thought I was he only Bon Jovi fan out there still willing to admit it!:rotfl: Pity that their London shows are silly expensive and I cant go!

    Subscribing, hopefully all the support will give you a nudge in the right direction and the tools to accomplish your goals!

    Hi Nottytoo,

    Thankyou for dropping by and offering your support :A

    For all of us Bon Jovi fans we should stand up and be counted ;)

    I hope by the end of this year I will feel that I have made headway in my quest to be a better me.

    Time as they say will tell, but I am sure having this diary will keep me focused.

    Hugs and thankyou again

    Sorry Beanie just saw your reply. I work in an office so typing is part of my job ;)

    Can I ask what does your role involve and how long have you been volunteering?

    I have held back before from volunteering but now I feel the time is right to take the plunge.

    Hugs Budgie xxxxxxxxxxxxx

    whooaaa we're halfway there... whooaaaa living on a prayer...

    Sounds about right, eh? :rotfl:

    I'm also a volunteer - I work with two small charities at a pretty intensive level - I serve on one of their funding boards and chair another's fundraising committee. Small orgs are very much in need of the help, and are often more able to take advantage of your individual skills than big orgs with lots of volunteers to administer. Its something you really have to commit to, but its great fun, excellent experience and very rewarding! Best of luck.

    Oh really? Was it any good? Their new single didn't blow me over and I was afraid they had lost the touch!
