Mostly just to do what's best for me which I have always tried to do <br /><br />Hi Daily- ah thanks- that's very interesting- children are like spinges. I did learn musical instruments and sing- but I have all but forgotten everything- I can still pitch a tune but I couldn't write music. You should definitely the little bump playing at an early age!Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08459305021803770946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-618358253237839493.post-1735042972087351652010-04-29T06:04:18.893+01:002010-04-29T06:04:18.893+01:00This is so sweet- and very good advice.

One of my Nan's favourite sayings was 'keep your nose tidy on Friday's' - not quite sure what she meant by that to be honest, or why noses could be untidy all other days of the week! So not sure if that really is great advice to be honest! But she did say look after your teeth.
