    Seasons holiday..me too, must be the free comps we keep entering. Mysteriously you win a prize-which cost you for the rest of your life!! Have been v. disappointed as had no other things to fill in.

    I see their new resort in Scun-thorpe has opened up then?!

    Is that child part of the integral structure of the building? Does the whole thing collapse if he moves?

    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.

    At least they've thought of everything - floating chairs and beds in the swimming pool for your comfort...

    When me and my hubby were opening our first joint bank account all those young and naive years ago, this old lady pressed her face up against the glass window of the ATM foyer and shouted rambling obscenities while sticking 2 fingers up repeatedly to all the staff, maybe we should follow her example!

    PS - The staff didn't even batt an eyelid, apparently she was there like clockwork every Tuesday doing the same thing!

    Hi everyone, :hello:

    Checking in to say I am still going strong with the red pen, last week had 2 application forms for unsecured loans, Barclays and Egg, disgraceful considering my awful credit history too!

    Straight back at them!

    Go everyone!
