    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.

    A lovely lady has been throwing clients my way and I want to send her a nice present. She likes posh biscuits, chocolates, flowers and books....

    I am looking for quality, value and something she would appreciate. I am totally hopeless at this kind of thing. Any ideas, I was looking at the pink truffles from hotel chocolat but after reading some of the comments yesterday I was thinking they might be all packaging and no quality IYSWIM..

    I was in hysterics at my son this morning, I braved the 'pit' that is his room to collect plates, mugs etc and nearly dropped the lot laughing.

    We join my young son on his Playstation 3, guiding his weary, battle torn Knight through the forest and back to his simple dwelling. He walks through the stone lodge which we see is bare, for this brave Knight desires not the comforts and trappings of modern man. He strides towards the blazing open fire and we see the one item that this majestic figure has afforded himself in these dark times...................

    I think they were about the same clothes size Lou but "smaller" both were petite which I'm not so that makes a difference in terms of how they look I guess!

    I like my small boobs (and so does OH) :D
