  • Hi I mostly lurk - just popped out to say that watch is beautiful and yes you are worth it.

    By coincidence I saw my dream watch (a vintage Cartier Tank Francais) a couple of weeks ago in a local jewellers. After gasping in amazement and staring in awe (and a puddle of drool) I forced myself to walk away ignoring the pleas of the credit card to be allowed out to play. One day though.

    Anyone else now got an image of SB giving her sewing machine a serious case of 'THE EYE'??:D
    If, under the interrogation lamp, it starts to admit to various crimes....like making some of those dresses Tess wears on Strictly Come Ferret, then I'm not entirely sure you should believe it....;)

    Well, if it has been doing those sorts of things, then I apologise to the entire British public, I'm responsible, should have kept an eye on it, shouldn't have happened on my watch:rotfl:

    Ooh, that's a very nice timepiece, by the way!:D Right, off to a works do; not my work but Him Indoors. Consider me girding my loins for this one as it's an... interesting... mix of personalities:eek: Then again, works do's always are!

    Evening guys......had one small drink after work but the place was packed with people ready for their big Christmas nights out, and I really couldn't be doing with it, so got the 7.30 home and decided that there is nothing wrong with a quiet night of loading stuff onto I-tunes and generally just "being".

    Might wrap a few pressies later too - other than that nothing more exciting than having some scrambled egg or maybe a fish finger sandwich.....rock and roll :D

I too am a single mum struggling to manage kids, finances, home and career and have most definately lost the 'me' in the list of prioroties that seems to get bigger every day - I have decided tha 2012 will be the year of 'ME' - so I too will be avidly waiting on you ponderings!!! Thanks Hypno

    Hi! Be warned - it is a very emotional process. Fabulous, but very emotional. Don't give up on it, though. Don't give up on yourself. You will be surprised at some things - run with it. xxx

    Love my watch. Did I mention that? Well, just in case I didn't.....I love my watch :D

    And fix yourself a fishfinger sandwich. It is the best comfort food ever - and always hits the spot!!
