    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.

    How did you manage to sell the Escort? We've been trying to sell the Mondeo for ages :(

    MOT was fine! One £1 bulb was needed :j:j:j:j

    technical question............. my new laptop, the mouse is a flat type which i am just about managing.... and yesteday i sussed out the vertical and horizontal scroll at the outer edge of the mouse pad.... but today no matter how much i try, i cannot get it to scroll using the edge o f the mousepad!! Grrrr.... there are other ways to scroll, i know that, but why is it not doing it today? Do i need to have something "on" for this to work?
