Hey there everyone,



Well, now that I'm close to post number 300 I thought I'd do an intro thread... it seems like I'll be hanging around for a while now biggrin



Edit:

Yep, this is all changed cos I'm not feeling as sentimental as I was when I wrote the last intro.



I'm 28, live outside Belfast in Northern Ireland, run the fire performance group FirePoise (www.firepoise.com), like to travel and good music.



My myspace page is www.myspace.com/clarepalmer



Take care

bye

Sorry, bad grammar biggrin

It's just become a habit for me now.

So how are we all today? I'm having one of those 'everyone is ganging up on me and I want to go and hide on some desert island in peace and quiet for the rest of my life' kindof days (otherwise known as Clare-feeling-sorry-for-herself) rolleyes

Humblest apologies Spritie... yes, I am going away tomorrow and looking forward to it very much... just lots of stress at the mo.

So what did you get from HOP store......very excited for you. What a way to lift the week.

Is it the Truth?
Is it Fair to all concerned?
Will it build Goodwill and Better Friendships?
Will it be Beneficial to all concerned?

Yup yup, things are going well, just slightly... errr... hectic at the moment.
We have less than 2 weeks to get all our stuff packed up, decide what's coming with us to Canada and what's going into storage.
In amongst that, saying all our goodbyes to people and trying to book my flights back to the Uk and then to Canada.

How 'bout you?

Ohhhh... craziness!! biggrin

But utterly exciting... good luck and I hope things work out well for you both... it'll probably be quite scary and new for the first while... but I'm sure you'll settle into it. hug

Things are all changing for me in a couple of weeks too, it's rather scary, but it's definitely the right thing.

Can't wait
