    In the 80s I had a fur coat, as did my friend. My mum said we looked like a couple of (I shall put it politely - she didn't) ladies of the night in them!!
    I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)

    I Believe.....
    That it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others.
    Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.

    Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery
    Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present.

    happiness isn't achieved by getting extra things,
    but by getting rid of the things that make you unhappy

    Eeek!! At least you looked ‘good’ enough to be a working girl :rotfl:.

    My Mum once introduced me as ‘my daughter, not the skinny pretty one I was telling you about’ :(. She would never have thought I was sexy enough to be a lady of the night :o Xx
