Actually, that cake sounds awesome :-)<br /><br />I love your cover for LSNED - I'm not sure about playing along this year as I'm taking Me:TAV as well .... hmmmm, and trying to live in a shell of a house with saws, nail guns and goodness knows what else bashing and crashing away!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04009119301336136337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4525608390804164273.post-23037550047983844882010-08-20T17:16:41.890+01:002010-08-20T17:16:41.890+01:00Thanks for the mention Jo!

I remember waiting around for ...Love this post, Jo! I remember waiting around for my 'A' Level results too... <br />I love your nurse photo. You look very professional. You trained "the good old-fashioned" way - I remember a friend, Hilary, going off to London to train (1985 I think). We were in her room while she packed her uniform. She was horrified that she had to have black stockings, not tights. Her uniform was quite like yours in the photo - traditional, with a little cap, a belt with silver buckle - present from her mum & dad - an apron-thing and one of those pin-on watches. I wonder where she is now and if she still is a nurse... <br /><br />The LSNED album looks exciting. I love the "What a Hoot" panel - very "Jo"! I'm still trying to decide whether to have another go. Last year I got half-way, then mum went into hospital and that was the end of my September! Would it be tempting fate/providence, to have another go this year... September's always so busy anyway!Lizziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11918211625453430621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4525608390804164273.post-42643682017523518022010-08-19T19:38:27.597+01:002010-08-19T19:38:27.597+01:00It was so long ago,Jo....can't remember the wa...It was so long ago,Jo....can't remember the ward....or probably wards!!!!
