Crucial. <br />I'm investing a great deal of time and money to get fit right now - it's costing me a bomb but I'm simply sacrificing in other areas to make it happen. <br />Doesn't ONE less junket between a few of the Pollies make sense to them? They will SAVE LIVES. They make me feel sick.<br />Excellent post Lydia!
