Concert last night was fun, if terrifying. smile.gif blush.gif We the junior choir sang four songs with silly words as the theme - Doo wah diddy, Da doo ron ron ron, We go together (from Grease) and the Witch-doctor song. (Oo, ee, oo ah ah...)
laugh.gif We all went VERY hyper afterwards, and ran around laughing at everything.

Not a chance! If I'd worked this year maybe I could've raised enough - but probably not. tongue.gif My mum's favourite phrase is "there's a credit crunch on you know!". I'm working all summer though, so maybe I can stay out of their way a little bit.

Renault 5s are where it's at smile.gif

I must say France would be a great place if it wasn't full of French people wink.gif

Just kidding... I go to France quite a lot, well, Brittany anyway, and the people there are lovely. The place I usually visit is full of people who speak hardly any English so I have to brush up my French smile.gif

My friends!!!

I've been a muppet and got really upset about a situation. And confided in a friend across msn because I was worried that there would be a huge argument.

But she laughed and laughed and laughed and called me a silly sausage blush.gif

And her twin was laughing too, both sitting there typing. This is a message she left me on my page

pah ha ha haa smile.gif you silly silly old sausage smile.gif
if there is an argument in form time, i'll be in hysterics... but i'll try to back you up :0)
this is sooooo funny
and evil smile.gif
hehe

Now I've named them as the twins of happiness. And she's the master of happiness. I swear, whenever I talk to either of them, I can never ever ever be in a bad mood (well, usually, one I fight with over silly little things, but we just get on each others nerves- like a love hate kinda thing). And I've known them for ten years, so I don't think I can get sick of them smile.gif
