    Me, me. I'll have some, it'll go with the 12 bottles of red wine that came today (from a comp I entered - worth £103!)

    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.

    Well, I've demolished a mountain of it, feel stuffed to the gills but hardly made a dent in it!! there is enough for at least 2 more people! I thought I would stick any leftovers on a plate for the OH to microwave when he staggered in, but there will still be a load left even after that.

    Maybe I caught them on a quiet night so they've loaded them up more than normal, but I was expecting the clear tupperware type tubs with half rice and half meat in sauce, but they have sent it all in the really long big foil tubs!

    Phew..........stuffed.........

    (well done on the win!!!!!!!!!!!)

    I've now got a mad craving for sweet and sour chicken. If you have any of that it might be worth the drive :)

    I've settled for toast with marmalade while hubby watches the penalties.

    I had a sandwich a while ago because hubby took me out for lunch today during his flying visit home. I must have eaten a weeks worth of calories (I was flippin starving) so I must resist the urge to call the chinese now :)

    there is a whole pot of sweet and sour sauce available and loads of rice - enough for you and toto to share floss! There's also chicken in pineapple sauce - untouched, some chicken and veg in a satay sauce and some chilli chicken in a spicy sauce, all with rice as well as the freeby spring rolls! I feel such an oinker now for ordering it, but I really thought each would just be a mouthful or so!

    Just had an email from my sister to say she is moving my 6 year old niece to a private montessori school.......anyone any experience of these? I've had a quick read and they seem to be very good at nurturing children as individuals and focusing on the sensory aspects of life?
