    There are many people who succeed despite their parents, I classify myself as one of them. I could tell you tails to curl your toes, but that is in the past… I am who I am despite my parents.

    God, I hope I am successful, well I am in my own way - as we have a happy family and hopefully have never done any known harm to others x

    Ps love you abailey xx

    :T:T:T:T:T

    :D :T:T

    You sound successful to me ;)

    I guess I meant that (even if it isn't parents), there's always someone somewhere who believed in you, or gave you an opportunity or opened the door to something. And if they didn't, you must have steely guts and determination, and that must've come from somewhere x

    OK, had a quick glance back, I am not going to read back any further.

    FC, I admire you, there is no way I could manage what you do. All you have to put up with in everyday life. I am pretty sure you would give it all up to have what other people would call a normal life.

    We have many very rich associates, we see how they got there, and they are the nicest people because they have had to pull themselves up by their shoelaces and the last thing they want to do is step on the little people.

    There is a song that I have often thought reminds me of you, fairly old one but still meaningful

    "Walking In My Shoes"


    I would tell you about the things they put me through
    The pain I've been subjected to
    But the Lord himself would blush
    The countless feasts laid at my feet
    Forbidden fruits for me to eat
    But I think your pulse would start to rush

    Now I'm not looking for absolution
    Forgiveness for the things I do
    But before you come to any conclusions
    Try walking in my shoes
    Try walking in my shoes

    You'll stumble in my footsteps
    Keep the same appointments I kept
    If you try walking in my shoes
    If you try walking in my shoes

    Morality would frown upon
    Decency look down upon
    The scapegoat fate's made of me
    But I promise now, my judge and jurors
    My intentions couldn't have been purer
    My case is easy to see

    I'm not looking for a clearer conscience
    Peace of mind after what I've been through
    And before we talk of any repentance
    Try walking in my shoes
    Try walking in my shoes

    You'll stumble in my footsteps
    Keep the same appointments I kept
    If you try walking in my shoes
    If you try walking in my shoes
    Try walking in my shoes

    Now I'm not looking for absolution
    Forgiveness for the things I do
    But before you come to any conclusions
    Try walking in my shoes
    Try walking in my shoes

    You'll stumble in my footsteps
    Keep the same appointments I kept
    If you try walking in my shoes
    You'll stumble in my footsteps
    Keep the same appointments I kept
    If you try walking in my shoes
    Try walking in my shoes
    If you try walking in my shoes
    Try walking in my shoes

    Well trust you. cry4.gifcry4.gif
    That is lovely E (or should I say C :D )

    Thank you :A to you and everyone who has been supportive. I appreciate all of it :A

    That's a good list... I've not been keeping up :o
    Do you need glamour mag for the nails inc polish and b.shop voucher?

    That's on my list:)

    Does anyone who regularly purchases nails inc...know if you can tell the bottles are freebies?
    Is there any difference? I was thinking of getting them for my niece for a stocking filler,,
    Thanks

    That is a good point, as when I pull information I have just been doing things that will help our family and we still have loads of the spray/nail varnish so I had not added it. But next week I will try to add more of the offers.

    Also - remember the free pizza, and if you have soup or pasta coupons… get them used x

    I was very fortunate to fall in love with a lovely man x

    But actually you are right, as all of my siblings have turned out good/okay so we clearly had some positive influences x
