    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    fingers crossed for the MOT,
    I don't know about you but every time our old car went in for it's MOT I used to get a figure in my head that I expected it to be to get it through, and was usually pretty spot on with it!
    Amazingly the R reg Ford Escort Estate (or 'The Tank' as I used to call it!) got through it's last 2 MOTs with no problems whatsoever, we were stunned!
    We've just sold it and upgraded to a 51 plate Ford Focus for hubby.
