    my fave quotes are....

    The only way to have a friend, is to be one! i actually have this in a tattoo

    Everyone brings joy to this house, some as they enter, others as they leave

    all children deserve love, especially when they least deserve it reminds me to be kind to my kids when i could happily kill them

    My nan, bless her soul, was full of little sayings, not exactly inspirational though


    'You gotta eat a peck of dirt before you die' - nothing wrong with a bit of dirt, good for the immune system, she would turn in her grave at all the anti bac I use

    'keep your 3 F's clean' - your feet, your face and your privates beginning with F

    mine is the one under my signature. Like a few other quotes posted here, it means you are in charge of your destiny. OK, You can't stop happening what will happen but you can deal with it whichever way you choose and make things happen.
    I think that is great - I have just copied that and printed it off.

    There are a few tings that I need to change in my life at the moment, and i'm hoping that looking at that, it will give me the kick up the bum I need!!

    Thank you,
    Rachel x

    I LOVE this one. particularly fab for creative children who don't do well in maths or literacy - maybe the teachers should have this stuck on their classroom walls.

    it's fab, isn't it. I found that quote on year 1 of my FD and I use it to remind myself whenever I'm feeling the world is against me

    I love Dory, what about her other one (just change the words a bit) - great for us weightwatchers, 'we're on a diiiiet, we're on a diiiiet, no eating here tonight, no eating here tonight'

    'Women who strive to be equal to men lack ambition' Timothy Leary

    Not so keen on the man himself as he was very pro halucinagenic drugs! But good quote.

    This is how I live my life . It was said to me by a very wise health vistor whilst I was suffereing with PND. If faced with anything now I always think 'what is the worst that can happen. If it is neither of the above - bring it on
