Just had a little bit of good news

Re: And in the same vein, mate

Can't understand why

 

Certainly are, mate

As happened last Summer when we discovered the remains of two babies from the Iron Age.

 

She's fallen out of love with football

She has no time for what she believes are shallow, ignorant, cheating, young men.
Teenagers, eh?

 

Many thanks to everyone

Who have taken the time to post congratulations on here, by PM's, texts and emails. This has certainly been one of my family's better days.

 

Re: She's fallen out of love with football

She's right about a lot of them, but I think we've got some honest, decent professionals at our club.

 

So do I, mate

I think she's saying it to avoid being seen in public with her Dad!

 

Re: I'm going to buy Laura

Great news, congratulations and good luck with the exams Laura!

 

Great news, after all your family has been through this is fabulous...I dont know you Kev but when I read this thread I got goosebumps and a lump in my throat...Very well done Laura.....

 

That is great news Kev, I can tell you're very proud and rightly so.

 

All the best from me and mine...to you and yours.... It Couldn't Be Done
Edgar Guest

Somebody said that it couldn't be done,
But he with a chuckle replied
That "maybe it couldn't," but he would be one
Who wouldn't say so till he'd tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn't be done, and he did it.

Somebody scoffed: "Oh, you'll never do that;
At least no one ever has done it";
But he took off his coat and he took off his hat,
And the first thing we knew he'd begun it.
With a lift of his chin and a bit of a grin,
Without any doubting or quiddit,
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn't be done, and he did it.

There are thousands to tell you it cannot be done,
There are thousands to prophesy failure;
There are thousands to point out to you, one by one,
The dangers that wait to assail you.
But just buckle in with a bit of a grin,
Just take off your coat and go to it;
Just start to sing as you tackle the thing
That "cannot be done," and you'll do it.

 

Excellent piece, mate

Sums up my daughter very well.

 

Fantastic news mate, congratulations to Laura and all the Big Lils!

Given the cost of Uni these days you'll have to cut back on those student nights out in town now!

 

That's brilliant news, please pass on my congratulations to Laura.

My cousin went to teacher training at the Charlotte Mason College, which is part of Cumbria University. It's in Ambleside, so was a lovely place to make an excuse to go and visit.

That'll make some lovely weekends away for you, Crystal and the pupsters

 

I agree!

Well done Laura many congratulations!
