    Suzy she is fine..half asleep but I couldn't stop laughing as it was like some comedy act, me trying to get her stuck body out of the gap between the wall and bed and her head stuck. Ended up picking her up by one leg and one arm and banging her head on the way up...how the hell she fell down there i'll never know!

    DS did it on holiday one year slapping on to marble tiled floor, I was horrified but he just giggled and got back into bed:D. He's used to a cabin bed with a barrier...

    Ok girls,am I a party pooper???
    Friends are off down to Spain at 5am,and their elder daughter cannot now travel. They say if I book a flight for my DD tonight she can go with. Now they are good friends,but shall we say,a little "disorganised",and I don't want DD spending a week without me there on a boat.Plus,its now 10pm, and I'd have to frantically start booking flights,finding all her clothes etc and have her at Gatwick by 4am??? I said no.....

    Trust your gut instinct SRM....your DD is still quite young isn't she? I think it's all a bit rushed.

    really....it's not hard to understand :T

    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.
