    Wow :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

    I was young, drunk it was pitch black, pouring with rain and I was locked out. Of course, the skylight would have been anyone's natural option. Not!!
    When I landed, my mate asked if I was ok, I got up and said I had a sore leg, he then told me my face had fell off. I tried to touch my jaw but nothing except blood and pieces of bone.
    Luckily the doctors were able to fix me up with a new shiny titanium jaw and I still have all my own teeth (albeit they are screwed in, lol my facial xrays look like a meccano set) and I was back working within a few weeks.
    They said had I not been so drunk, I would not have been so lucky as apparently my body must have just relaxed rather than tensing during the fall.
    I say, someone was looking out for me.:A

    Happy Birthday Nixi and Babymoo!

    And hope you're on the mend Saucy.

    Hugs to all others.

    I'm still having computer issues/plagued with RSI/not able to get online much, but still turning ideas over in my head all the time. Finally know what I want to do with a blog, but no idea where to start...also toying with the idea of dropshipping, but again, no idea where to start...time to go and do some reading and research, I think.

    I have started taking advantage of cashback offers with the money I've made too and...

    I'M OVER THE £1,000 MARK!

    I have so much thread to catch up on...back later, and love to all.

    Stage two - sell the clutter

    Stage four - pat self on back

    Just wanted to share this with you.
    I signed up for a daily note from the universe from the guy behind TUT - totally unique thoughts who was involved with "the secret" and who says that thoughts become things. It was just a bit of fun for a daily lift and sometimes goes over my head but here is todays which I liked.
