It must have been such an awful feeling at the time, but quite right, very funny now. I could feel myself cringing at the thought of breaking down. I wouldn't know where to start. And if my mum was with me I think the best place to start would be to lock myself in the boot.<BR/><BR/>Crystal xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407016858777887859.post-2037505301858808442007-11-14T11:01:00.000-06:002007-11-14T11:01:00.000-06:00I am still laughing.
