    And Linda, stop showing the boys your jugs of fruit based drinks

    I've been working my socks off this week - too much thinking for an old brain.

    *Any* thinking is bad for mine...
    Toddles off to google 'errant' to see if she's made a faux pas.

    To stray from the straight and narrow...

    Naughty Linda. About time someone rounded us all up.

    Just had a bit of a fright up at DD2's. She lives in the grounds of a school where her OH is premises officer. I had been babysitting whilst they went out. A few came back to hers and we were all having a drink when someone started pounding at the door shouting 'help'. :eek:
    The men opened the door to this guy screaming that people were after him. SIL grabbed his caretakers torch -about 2 foot long) and told the guy that he'd go look with him. Guy saw torch and ran off like greased lightening.
    Think he must have been high on something.

    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.

    She can't help herself - any excuse and the jugs just fly out on their own...

    Linda, I was trying to save your modesty! LOL

    Bookie-that sounds scary. Glad they are ok.

    DH has just passed me 'sleep inducing' twizzlers. (american sweets-full of sugar/e numbers-bloody GORGEOUS) and definitely NOT sleep inducing

    I just hope it doesn't make DD2 nervous about being up there on her own. At least she might start looking the door now.
    I must confess I was a little nervous walking to the car.
