    Afraid I start Christmas in the January sales - or the pre-christmas sales the previous year IYSWIM.

    I've got 2 storage boxes full of gifts and stuff all over the top needing another box!


    I`m with you there Katsu. Its the only way that i can afford christmas, birthdays in fact anything that requires presents. I`m on the lookout all year round. Anything i see on sale i think can i get that for somebody or i`m forever buying kids clothing in the sale as i know a lot of my mates are now having babies etc so when i see stuff for 50p or £1 i get it & know it will do for somebody. x :o

    Anyone watching the prog on Channel 4 about the disabled athletes? It's fascinating.
    YOUR = belonging to you (your coat); YOU'RE = you are (I hope you're ok)

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

    Is that the anatomy of an athlete programme? I'm recording it :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.
