I was going to suggest the same thing. 

I was one of those quiet kids. Spent most of my time with my nose stuck in a book and really lacked confidence. I opted for drama classes rather than PE as soon as I could, and it helped my confidence a lot.

My friends wee girl(11) was the same and the change in her is amazing.

 It's brilliant for bringing quiet kids out of themselves and boosting their confidence.

How did this driver escape injury!!

He is quite interested in Drama actually but in 1st year they don't do it yet.  

Thanks for all the help folks.....this parenting carry on never gets easier for me  

Is there no after school  classes or private classes?

I know Easter is a very sacred part of the Catholic faith but this takes the biscuit

Sweet Lord! The Life-Size Chocolate Pope

The Vatican has not commented on whether the giant chocolate gift will help the pontiff work, rest and pray.

The head of the Catholic church takes a look at the chocolate statue

It never, ever does Ells ........and then just when it eases off a little .........suddenly it's elderly parents you worry about.

Ahhhh both ends of the spectrum. My oldies are joining us tonight with a group of our friends for dinner and the theatre, Mother has reached that point in life where her social filter has broken and she says what she wants regardless.

Can I ask, is that real or is it photoshopped? Because I can't help wondering why the bloke is still standing on the jetty with that crashing toward him.

Cinds my Mum has never had that filter......which is both hilarious and mortifying. 

I got it from a news site Cinds. I guess the only unknown is perspective, maybe the wave dissipates to some degree as it hits the shoreline.

I was going to post a lot of other weather related pictures, but just did not have the time.

I see that it's  Gagajoyjoy's  birthday today >>>>  

a *top tip* from twitter

RELIVE the thrill of a Spanish Bull Run by simply buying the last Dine in for £20 at M & S tonight

another twitter *top tip*

GIVE your date a Michelin star restaurant experience by serving them offal on a plank while sneering at their wine choice

YOUR PERSONALITY BASED ON THE WAY YOU SLEEP

I think I am a cross between a yearner and a foetus. 

Not a sentence I ever thought I would utter

 Hugh Fearnley-Wotshisface served practically raw meat on a plank the other night  

i think that bloke is tw@t

he's the one that does & says OTT crap everytime he's got a prog due out

like cook placenta or whatever its called & eat dogs & puppies

proper knob 

Where is the strong, confident socially considerate person who is kind to children and kittens?

I start in one position and end up in another.

*update*

step-son has bought his 'jolly' new girlfriend home again

she ate the lot

we never got a look in

this evening i will be putting on a small buffet for when they get home from the pub

featuring pizza & party iceland items

i'll let you know if we get any

You are funny Pirate!.

I'm a mixture of most of them .

Rubenesque ?

Sorry ......i'm a bit bored.

Those false nails are horrendous - that is why she is no longer my girlfriend.

 Simon Cowell's rep confirms the baby's birth. The couple's baby boy came into the world at 5:45 p.m. ET and weighed 6 pounds and 7 ounces.

Simon revealed on Twitter hours after the birth that he had named the child after his own father Eric Cowell.

further to my posts about buying Lindor for a quid.. today the Co-op are clearing their Valentine's choccies.... Lilly O'brien's Sticky Toffee Chocolates (100g) for a quid.   Not so daft this time... i got four....  

One of my favourite things to do when I ate chocolate was to be the first in store to pick up all the cheap 'Christmas', 'Easter' and 'V Day' chocolate. I recall one year Tesco were doing Cadbury's Mini Eggs (the large bag) for 75p. Of course I bought loads. They also mispriced another loose chocolate coin bags and were packing them up for 10p. Boy I used to eat a lot of chocolate !!!

i HAD a huuuuuuuuuge box of Thorntons still un opened ..two boxes of Thornton Mints and three small boxes of Aldi Truffles still left from Christmas. Last week I took them to Slimming World where they have a box to donate 'temptations' - they're taken to the local hospice. It did break my heat a tiny bit but ......I hope some folks will get to enjoy them guilt free.

I've just eaten 12 Cadbury's Creme Eggs 

 Creme eggs are the devils work.

I am starving......EC changing the name of the valentines thread to the volauvont thread has made me really want tuna vol-au-vonts but I don't have any 

 I couldn't even eat one. Well ......at a push I suppose but I don't enjoy them.

I love Cadbury's cream eggs. When my sons were young, I used to hide a box of six Cream Eggs in my underwear drawer and secretly eat them in the bathroom, so the boys didn't ask for one. I'm a reformed chocoholic now.

I'm shocked What a terrible mother
