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!

Or......... *throws a cunning suggestion into the mix*.....maybe she's just saying that she's broken ,so she can get out of going to work!?
*not that I'd reccommend this course of action, of course!

It's not brokeded!!! I've stretched (as in over stretched) a ligament in my calf. I did it first a couple of weeks ago and thought it had healed but it wasn't quite up to leaping around to 'I predict a riot' on sunday morning
- will I never learn 
Anyhoo - job started - it's not too bad but it's a shock to the system after 5 motnhs off
Thanx for all your lovely good wishes The worst bit is the drive home- there's been an accident every night and the extended clutch (that's cLutch!
) work has played havoc with the dodgy leg so it's gonna take even longer to heal Well, I should get myself sorted on t'internet and be able to HoP at work soon, so I'll be posting more - frankly between new job and new man there's not alot of time for much else

Jen - spoons, forks?? you are sooooo random and I love ya

My leg isn't any better, in fact it's worse and now I've got bruising coming out allover the place but I can't take any time off work cos they've given me a project to manage £13m of new business coming in by Easter - nuts

How much of that £13m can you cream off for "expenses"?

Thanx Hun
so do I!Dave, if there was a way I'd do it
Joe - did that look in the 80's and it wasn't a good one then
Feeling pretty damn low today - over-tired, both legs aching, thick snow - just want to be under the duvet and hide from the world
But it's the weekend tomorrow Yay!
so I'll pick my bottom lip up off the floor and get on with it 'The last rays of crimson on the spindle tree as the cerise fruit splits and reveals its orange seeds in a gloriously clashing colour scheme no-one would ever dare to wear'

Nope, sadly not feeling better but yay still not back in work.
I don't think I'll ever go back. I hate the place and I'm not going to waste any of my healthy days on being in a place I hate. I don't have enough of them to waste!
How's the new man and job? are they both to your liking

Ha, you do that - Ro thought he could sort mine out for me so he spent a testosterone fuelled day whacking 'em to the ground. Unfortunately they just keep coming back and to date I've double strength weed-killed them 3 times and the blighters are still coming up and tgrabbing my legs everytime I walk up the path (to see Stanley
) Boys - whadda they know

boo!
hows ikkle Miss Wild Child?
will you be at the meet this sunday?
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.

Hello Sweetie
All is very happy and well thank you
- how's trix with you? Are Cantusless or otherwise at the moment? Sadly I can't go to Falmouth - work! Great for paying the bills but plays havoc with your social life
Hey ho - I'm sure there'll be lots going on again like last year so we're bound to arrive in the same place sooner or later
