and I'm as nervous as if I'm walking into a bar full of strangers - so deep breath and here we go...
Just got into poi and i'm pretty crap but it's just such a buzz so gonna keep at it - who says you can't teach an old dog...
a good friend is getting married next august and she's told her mum I'll do fire! no pressure then.
I'm not v good at chat rooms n stuff, they scare me - in fact it's been 3 years since I last went on one but the guy who introduced me to poi is/was a HOPer so i reckon it's worth a try
dya know I was even worried about these fab little things I've seen on people's messages - right over my head i thought - and here they are on the screen - doh!
But now I can't get em on here aargh! 1 step forward, 1 step back.
Hopefully I'll look back on this and laugh in years to come!

*runs in rather late with chocolate cake covered in chocolate sauce and a tripple chocolate gataux*
sorry it's a bit late, it took my pigmy shrew army a while to figure out how to make the sauce...
We are the music makers, We are the dreamers of dreams,
Wandering by lone sea-breakers, And sitting by desolate streams;
World-losers and world-forsakers, On whom the pale moon gleams;
We are the movers and shakers of the world for ever, it seems.

Yay chocolate.
One for all the crumpet fans... I just had a crumpet with shrimp for a starter...
Now Bubbles, he might get a bit upset if you go saying "Axolotl-Ben-Whumpour" all over the net...

Hey Lady!
Good to spend lots of time with you this weekend. I feel that the slightly derranged babbling we did the whole time may have spawned a monster. I've asked Bov for help with the board games. I can see strange huge weird stuff growing in various sheds, living rooms and workshops across the country. I still think its do-able though.
See you very soonCan't wait to come over to Manchester and see Trippy hiding his modesty with a whisp of a beard.
Feed me Chocolate!!! Feed me NOW!

Missed you saturday night -t'wasn't the same without you hun however t'was a very funny night.. 
Lynne, I think we've definitley got something here and without doubt it can't be anymore dangerous than hoop! Last count of bruises was something like this:
Inside right knee x3
Outside left knee x2 including 1 of 3 cm proportions
left elbow x 2
left shoulder x 1 humdinger
right shoulder x 1
but the ones that really shocked me are...
right waist/hip x 3 1 of humougous dark blue/black 5cm proportions
ouch

Flippin' 'eck girlie!
Have you taken up ninja death wiggle hooping or what? I've never managed to injure myself as much as you have with a hoop. Sure I get the odd bruise or two but a quick rub on of Arnica and they are gone in a day or 2. I've even managed a bit of a scuff on my shoulder but never have I ever split my lip or covered my self head to toe in bruises that are that painful!
Maybe I'll have to make you a padded hoop to play with, or maybe an all in one padded suit would work better

Whatchaneed to do is... get he url (the web address) of the picture, then you need to insert this piece of code:
[image] Put the image address here making sure there are no spaces [/image]
and ta da, it should then be working.
