    Scaredy, the last couple of years when I've been with ex he used to get loads when they were reduced, I think they were down to about 20p. He said it was greedy and fatty to buy a full box, so he'd just get 30 individual ones instead....
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    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.

    My car's being re-MOTed tomorrow to see if that guy was telling me the truth. Also, I didn't get the flat. :( So I've been in better moods. I'll have to see about doing some dinner soon, no idea what though.

    Hi All it's me!

    Last night I did some exam questions.
    Class today;
    Tutor 'Did everyone mark their exam paper last night'
    Yes
    Tutor 'Did you go back and check where you had gone wrong'
    Me 'No'
    Tutor 'Why not?'
    Me 'It was midnight'.

    She gave me SUCH a disgusted dismissive look! The rest of the class couldn't believe it.

    So peeps have fun with you chocolate bunnies. Tonight I have revision and two exam papers. Better not clock off till 2am!

    Still at least the lunch was nice!
