Your so welcome Katie dear x
ReplyDeleteSo, so true. Unfortunately, I learnt the truth to most of those statements the hard way, as I'm sure do a lot of folks. If only we were taught the above at school rather than the complete opposite, the world be a much better place.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the post, it was nice to read. :)
Love and best wishes, Hope
Me too hope, I've always been the type of person who has to learn things the hard way
