Personalised number plates...Hi Liz - many thanks :)<br />Personalised number plates (license plates) have to come from the existing structures, rather than being able to use any word. So at the moment, UK number plates are made of 2 letters, 2 numbers, then 3 letters.<br />So, you could, for example, make "musical" out of MU 51 CAL - but only if someone else hasn't already taken it :)Kim Ayreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02656677501116622953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15322620.post-4871757706438774672017-12-10T17:58:41.883+00:002017-12-10T17:58:41.883+00:00hey friend : ) Just wanted to add my kudos here, ...hey friend : ) Just wanted to add my kudos here, for the honor and recognition your community gave you (even though shared with Julie : ) ) ...I dont know if you guys have personalized license plates out there, but if you do, you should make yours "FLASH"...

As our kids always say, "You're a winner! Teddy knows!"* xoxox<br /><br /><br />*Ages ago, when they were young, one of the boys found a talking teddybear that had "inspirational messages for your Boss." It was their birthday present to the MITM that year.savannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04310843901371718758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15322620.post-72674880048874317602017-12-06T00:55:39.885+00:002017-12-06T00:55:39.885+00:00I think everyone feels the way you do in this situ...I think everyone feels the way you do in this situation.

The 2nd is, if I take these darker feelings out and place them in the open, then their power over me shrivels up in the light.<br />I greatly appreciate your response as it means I'm not the only one in the world with these emotional responses :)Kim Ayreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02656677501116622953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15322620.post-8706912910093662522017-11-27T17:13:14.816+00:002017-11-27T17:13:14.816+00:00i absolutely adore this degree of honesty -- you a...i absolutely adore this degree of honesty -- you are quite human! i was in a similar situation, for far less prestigious recognition. the month before, i knew it was an honor and privilege to even be recognized, but as the day grew closer, i wanted it... i convinced myself there was a chance... i invited my parents to the awards event, of course, lowering their expectations.<br /><br />when the winner was announced, the only thing i remember from that moment is the sound of my mothers disappointment - "Awwww...". Ouch.<br /><br />two years later? i was a finalist for the same award. i knew someone on the committee. i invited my children ONLY after learning that i had, indeed, secured the win. i was not going to set myself up to no only lose the award, but disappoint my children.<br /><br />thank you for your honesty!daisyfaehttp://daisyfae.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15322620.post-26467308244159757572017-11-26T22:38:04.710+00:002017-11-26T22:38:04.710+00:00Pat - Meg told me I was still a winner in her eyes...Pat - Meg told me I was still a winner in her eyes so took me for a hot chocolate to celebrate. Part of it is she wants everyone to feel good. The other part is she's looking for any excuse to go to a cafe :)<br /><br />Judith - I was surprised Blood Bikes weren't a finalist this year. I did put in what I thought was a strong nomination.<br /><br />Hope - every time you come here and comment, I feel I've been given an award :)Kim Ayreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02656677501116622953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15322620.post-80525099453754880482017-11-26T21:47:06.029+00:002017-11-26T21:47:06.029+00:00I agree with Pat.
