    It's a hard job but someone has to do it! I'm going up to see her in April for a weekend, she's managed to blag some champagne from the Perrier Jouet rep

    Ahh, Champagne, I remember that from a long time ago when I had a fist full of credit cards and nothing better to spend my money on (so I thought). Memories, memories.
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    Back to the subject of cats-my two boys are Turkey and Turnip. And they are DUDES!

    Keren, congrats on a brilliant day! Can I please use your help PR wise with my new job? I'd like to get a few press releases done for local papers etc...

    Oh, and BTW, you know that 'holiday' I apparently won from 'Get me a ticket'?
    It was a timeshare...*sigh*

    You certainly can Bunny - £50 a press release............okay, I joke.......a wagon wheel each.......;) Email me the details of one you need to do - what is happening/when/where/why it is new or unique or fab/details of what it is (ie product details) plus a made up quote I can do something with.

    Your cats are cool - although I'm sure Turnip thinks he is a dog! I've never met such an affectionate 'gotta love me' cat!!!
