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!

find a way to get the toilet paper to have the poison ivy in or on it, then someone goes to wipe themselves and.... well you get the picture

Oh yeah - finally got myself onto Messenger so contacts anyone?
So I've sorted my own mobi and now my laptop is pretty straight (just have to load all my pix bakc on
) so Hah! who needs Brakes! Can't beleive how far I've come in a week 0 this time last week I was Sooo depressed and in mourning - now I'm feeling loads more positive and that turn around is largely down to you lot. I can't thank you enough of being there for me, for the posts and txts and phonecalls. And a huge thanx to Malcolm for continuing to make this community what it is.
Love to you all - 'Onwards and Upwards!!

6 isn't so bad. I was worried you'd pick a higher number.
I think Bugis misunderstood the instructions and gave you too many numbers to choose from. He can be a little overzealous sometimes.
Speaking of Bugis. I'm not taking him to manchester meets any more. He got injured last night. Presumably by someone playing a little too roughly.

First I heard about it.
I'm glad i didn't see tobi doing that. No wonder Bugis looks so ruffled and shaken today.

However you did abandon him Jen - I found him all forlorn on the grass - and what were you thinking leaving a minor in charge of a 6 month old ??
Jon, sorry we won't get to meet - wish Wales was next week
. Oh well.... Last day in the Office today so if I don't get the rest of the middle bits of the photocopier out we might have to put a small person in to do the copies by hand - who do we know who's small and good at art?

how about posh clothes - for some that may well be their wet suit (especially people who take them to the dry cleaners!)
And why the torch?

Lordy, stuff in my desk draw that's supposed to have stationery in it (apart from stationery):
2 forks (metal)
1 knike (plastic)
1 spoon (plastic)
2 mouses (erm mice?) - neither working
2 serviettes
1 tissue
1 sachet brown sauce
packet Anadin
update on the forks - now 3
30p in 10p's - left them for the next occupant to have a coffee on me
1 lucky 7's token - errr no idea where that came from
500 business cards, surplus to requirements (just like me!!) - man that's a lot of roach material...
