    I have a few personal creases, but think they probably need a face lift/tummy tuck rather than an iron

    Some worse than others hun :o

    I just this minute realised we could really do with an iron :rotfl:

    DD just said her blazer badge is falling off, and it's a biaaatch to sew. I wondered if we could use that iron on hem stuff instead of sewing it :rolleyes:

    I might have to ask school if I could use theirs this weekend ;)
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    Sar I have been meaning to ask you about your background. I seem to remember you mentioning a while ago about doing a lot of travelling when you were younger ?

    Well.. the short version..
    Born in Cardiff..
    Moved to Inverness, Florida,
    Moved to London,
    Moved back to Florida (different house),
    Moved to Bideford, Devon,
    Moved back to Florida (different house),
    Moved to our village now,
    Moved to Silves, Portugal,
    Moved to Armacao de Pera, Portugal,
    Moved back to our village now when I was 13 and haven't left this village since.

    Reasons..? US immigration issues with my parents not having the right jobs to warrant permenant visas.... Them never being happy or settled... running away from massive debts...

    I just want to stay in one place for a while!

    Aww Sar I had no idea you had such an unsettled childhood. No wonder you want to stay put for a while. :kisses3:

    Maybe, but don't underestimate how strong you have been to come out of all that and still be a genuinely nice, non-bitter person. And you have broken the cycle by providing your girls with a happy upbringing. :A
