    Oh, I so loved to dance, I wasnt at a stage school either, just a local ballet school. Had a place at a school in Liverpool but never took it up. I still wish I had followed it up but hey ho. My favourite thing to do is to go to the ballet, shame that I never had any friends who felt the same but Mr C loves the arts so we get to do those things together now.
    My friend Haruko (a concert pianist) has a recital in London on 11th March if you happen to be up there and like that kind of thing I could highly recommend her. She is fab.

    Is it just me or is the bit of diary land that I lurk in, a bit quiet lately? I know you commented on it KC, but when I go to userCP and there are only a few in the list, and some of them have times from early this morning.

    I don't understand any of the trading talk, but it fascinates me. Hope you actually got started.

    I'm just as guilty, but even busy diaries like hypno's are a bit quiet.

    Hello KC :hello: Hello all :hello:

    I've been AWOL too, on "holiday" (at the in-laws mainly) and have been reading a bit this week, but too tired to type :o

    Hope everyone's ok - it is probably down to half term that it's so quiet - everyone's out of their usual routine. I'm sure normal service will resume.

    KC - "I'm back and in a new way" LOVE it!!! :T:T:T:D
