Oh, I am very shy, but I always remind myself the two main things:

If you don't feel safe on the stage you can try helping with the props or the lights, or what I find more interesting and creative, the set-up (and down, after the play's over). Come on, give it a try.

Hi Madauri

I have considered helping out behind the scenes as it were, but to be honest I have limited talents in terms of helping out with painting the sets or helping with costumes........hmmmm.....maybe I'm just making excuses eh!.....after all it's much 'safer' to stay home rather than go out there and do it isn't it.
I think I need a big push in the right direction

i read books from the carboot/ebay, no more than a £1 per book i make xmas cards/presents/cards (the outlay is about £30) but most of my family and friends are covered with stuff spare sit on here and pick up hints and tips (and post now and again) and camping (cheapest holiday ever) and i 'get away' from home and work :rotfl:

You needn't know a lot, just give it a try.

*ouch* - you didn't have to push me quite that hard madauri !! :rotfl: - only kidding. I have gone so far to look for drama groups in my town just now on the 'tinternet but only found one for 14 - 19 year olds. I do try all the creams but I don't think I would ever pass for 19 with the best will in the world :rotfl:

Thanks for the encouragement - I may make some enquiries tomorrow :A

we have started to make jewellery as a hobby, I am very sporty and 'freecycle' a lot!!:rotfl:
I garden and read avidly (from the library as very quick reader!)
am lucky enough to live near the beach and swim for nothing in the summer and people watch - we get celebrity visitors or so called where I live

Taken up knitting to make some xmas presents.
Made some flavoured vodka, gin, brandy and whisky. Will be bottleing them for christmas presents.
Just bought a couple of chickens, so fresh eggs and a new pet.
Snail ranching - hoping to pick up my first lot of snails tomorrow.
Reading - second hand books
Free-cycle and MSE addict.
Making as many xmas presents as I can.

And chanting: "Housework pixies are coming easily to me" but its never worked

Hi Zombie,

Following on from CAFCgirl's cherry drop vodka, I was wondering what flavours you add to your voddy, gin brandy etc?

Hope I'm not giving everyone the impression I drink a lot
