    Thanks for helping out gallygirl - I've no idea how to post a picture!

    The girls have a brownie/guide Jubilee party, hopefully a visit to the Jubilee Flotilla and visits to the Olympics in store so hopefully they'll get a lot of wear. Along with the 2 union jacks we've bought for them to wave/put round their shoulders.

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Loving the pictures!

    I had white clackers - don't remember the red knuckles though - I must have been less violent with them!! Guess they've been banned for being too dangerous?

    Just 25p to go to payout on 1poll - will I get there today?

    I loved clackers until they were banned at school - never got red knuckles, all to do with the wrist action I remember being told :rotfl:
